This piece is basically just arguing that RBG was right about Roe [0]. Eliminating the crutch that was Roe allowed the legislative process to finally begin to work in a cultural environment that has changed dramatically since the 70s.
> “My criticism of Roe is that it seemed to have stopped the momentum on the side of change,” Ginsburg said. She would’ve preferred that abortion rights be secured more gradually, in a process that included state legislatures and the courts, she added. Ginsburg also was troubled that the focus on Roe was on a right to privacy, rather than women’s rights.
It's been messy and complicated, but I think we're already seeing a shift in public opinion since Dobbs as people see what the extreme right actually wants to do. Even Republican perspectives have shifted dramatically in the last two years [1].
