Ruth Bader Ginsburg was not in favor of Roe vs Wade. This seems like an important distinction given your comment.

She was critical of the structure of the decision but her voting record indicated clearly that she would not have voted to overturn it.


She disagreed with the constitutionality of the decision. Not with the premise of abortion.

For her not to overturn it would be a pretty significant compromise of integrity.

The fact that something can be unconstitutional does not mean the same thing is illegal.

It is not of federal jurisdiction to set the precedent on the matter.

Every pro-abortionist seems to casually brush aside the fact that this has more to do with federal power than abortion


Fair enough.

I’m aware of her comments on Roe vs. Wade, I just didn’t think it was relevant. She was a liberal justice who was replaced with a conservative justice.

I’m curious what her stance would be if she was still on the court. Despite her comments, I don’t believe she would have overturned it.
