Excellent article James, as always. It is unfortunate that the pro-choice movement fell asleep at the wheel after Roe was decided (see NYT column from last year that I read today--here's a guest link that anyone should be able to access https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/opinion/abortion-planned-parenthood-naral-roe-v-wade.html?unlocked_article_code=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEIPuomT1JKd6J17Vw1cRCfTTMQmqxCdw_PIxftm3iWna3HPDm4biOMNAo6B_EGKbKBkfccy2DLeXNtINrkiSLlqx_VSOVBtTA6k552Ngp0BZj8ypMetG3w_05-LXaw99XWiSFiFH9pF5e_1uQOaYn_3COeZiSd_cBA1pcYyJ1_-iWgNlKuUDuJ0itRh1folVIRxEjdWMXaMu_K_Cx5uKZ7ROEGnnwozWOBaXzjZlMfNqO5TNVUPVi-VCS938m0-69hDOd8IPaqZLhYoe8H2gr95GXU_Zc7yRMV3H96I4u0s5b3dqhWMy960wOE0EchWvLDEsWW6NjU_WQDs6UricsZT0htfUtpNPx4&smid=url-share ) and that Senators were so easily duped by nominees who said they would respect stare decisis with respect to Roe despite all their public statements to the contrary and that Roe and all the other privacy rights cases (contraception/sodomy/gay marriage) were built on the weak foundation of a dubious constitutional right to privacy instead of what these cases really should turn on, which is elevating through legislation certain religious beliefs over others and thus the cases should have been based on the 1st Amendment's anti-establishment clause https://medium.com/p/4d234daa2e71 (you've read my essay) and that Congress did nothing for 50 years to codify Roe into legislation
