During her lifetime Ruth Bader Ginsburg stated that the original Roe versus Wade decision went too far.

She stated that the states should all make their own abortion laws and any abortion law of any state could be challenged and appealed to the Supreme Court and that law and that law only should be ruled on. Based on summaries of the leaked draft opinion it sounds as though the court is agreeing with what Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself stated. What is the matter with that?

She also felt that challenging abortion laws on the basis of equal rights was a much stronger case than the privacy argument in Roe v. Wade, and less vulnerable to attack. In fact, she had a case lined up to take to the Supreme Court doing just that prior to the Roe v Wade case being heard.
