5-4 = “law” Settled. Mandatory death for 63 million innocent taxpayers, brothers, sisters, and workers and grandmothers and grandfathers. (For Rowe v Wade)
But today, when the Justices see Gore v Bush (FL, 2000) or a simple case like Hobby Lobby or Groton/New London property seizure law, the liberals scream bloody murder.
” Mandatory death for 63 million innocent taxpayers, brothers, sisters, and workers and grandmothers and grandfathers.”

The viability standards was adopted because until that point there is no life. No life, no death. Or so goes the reasoning of the court. Roe recognizes the sanctity of life, and the government’s interest in preserving it, it just does not recognize life until viability.
I heard a Constitutional scholar once make a passing remark that in reality the Roe decision applied to that person only and not to every woman in the US who wanted an abortion and did not in actual fact make abortion legal for everyone. I did not get the chance to ask her about that statement and have never researched it but I was very puzzled at the time.
