This is a good point. In some ways, Roe v Wade gives pro-life movement an easy layup. It’s poorly decided law with no solid foundation in the Constitution. Nine white men jumped into a raging battle, and killed any debate through the Democratic process. And they did this during a time when the democratic process was trending in favor of abortion rights. Don’t take my word for it. This was Justice Ginsburg’s take on it too.

The smart move for the pro-choice movement, would be to get some state constitutional amendments on the books.
