Roe V Wade was poor law. However, this is an equally poor attempt to overturn it. Unfortunately Roe was basically a political decision by a court that wanted to have legal abortion. How do I know that? Because they based it on a right to privacy. This right to privacy does not apply to gambling, prostitution, drugs, incest, and even in some cases sodomy between consenting adults. How did this right to privacy jump over all these other cases and land on abortion? Politics is the only way I can see it. If Norma McCorvey now finds abortion disgusting, that is no more of a reason for the court to reverse its bad decision than the original decision was to make.

The motion is based on the fact that original
decision was based on a fraud.
She was not even pregnant.
Roe v. Wade was fraud in how it was even
brought as well as the decision as the Court.

I think, not positive, but I think it was Mario Cuomo (one of them rats with a law degree anyway) who was saying, that abortion, while morally wrong is a legal right, but that the supreme court in its zeal to give that right, short cirucited itself in its rational by not taking there time in thinking it through on how to do it.

"you could not find 7 anti-abortionists, and force them to put together a law legalizing abortion that would be weaker in justification and law and precendent and the constituiton then Roe. vs Wade".
