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?

That’s Roberts’ view. Alito’s opinion goes beyond that and overturns Roe entirely. Several states have already passed laws more draconian than the Mississippi law before the court. The court already refused to stay the TX law that sets a lower limit than MS. So each state can pass their own laws and the court will allow all of them. It will be interesting to see if the MO law outlawing abortion when pregnancy will be fatal to both mother and child is allowed to stand.

RBG initially felt that abortion rights would have increased organically, and by accelerating that, Roe gave rise to a backlash. She later modified that view. If she were on the court today she would vote to uphold Roe, no question as she supported abortion rights.

I have faith that bad laws won’t be upheld. @Lila15
