And how much it helped roe v wade not being overturned? Case law is fine and dandy until there is political will to overturn it. Then it only matters what political opinion have majority there. And it always was some flavour of right(D or R).
- comte7092 3y agoRow v wade had largely been eroded by the time it was overturned. It was obviously a very big deal politically, but the operative case law was Casey v planned parenthood, which allowed for a significant amount of restrictions. Casey paved the way for the mass whittling away of abortion rights in many states before roe was officially overturned. The roe precedent was not on nearly as firm of ground. Though your overall point is still obviously correct, at the end of the day the court is a political institution ruled over by 9 unelected individuals.
