My comment was about Roe, not the that thing. Pretty funny that in actuality women didn't lose any rights, it's doctors that technicality lost a right. That's how bad Roe v Wade was, along with the fact that doctors aren't allowed to just do whatever they and their patients want so the whole logic and ruling was basically a joke in a legal sense. And who was saying Roe could never be overturned? The very people that are pro-abortion were saying such things let alone the people against abortion yet Roe could never be overturned or was too strong or whatever, only ignorant people may have said that.
Those more acquainted with Ginsburg and her thoughtful, nuanced approach to difficult legal questions were not surprised, however, to hear her say just the opposite, that Roe was a faulty decision. For Ginsburg, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that affirmed a woman’s right to an abortion was too far-reaching and too sweeping, and it gave anti-abortion rights activists a very tangible target to rally against in the four decades since.
Ginsburg and Professor Geoffrey Stone, a longtime scholar of reproductive rights and constitutional law, spoke for 90 minutes before a capacity crowd in the Law School auditorium on May 11 on “Roe v. Wade at 40.”
“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.
“Roe isn’t really about the woman’s choice, is it?” Ginsburg said. “It’s about the doctor’s freedom to practice…it wasn’t woman-centered, it was physician-centered.”
