Holy shit. How hard is this to understand?
The reason to appeal to the authority of the SCOTUS is that they literally are the authority.
And the authority the SCOTUS indicated in their draft that they are going to get rid of Roe vs Wade because it was incorrect. Since you love the authority of the SCOTUS so much that you need to appeal to it, what are you complaining about?
And there is no objective measure of “correct”. People have been debating whether Roe vs Wade was “correct” since the ruling.
You surely understand that over time attitudes and opinions change some things which were once illegal and taboo are now legal (gay marriage), other things which were once legal are now illegal and taboo (slavery). And there’s not always a straight line of travel, sometimes laws or amendments are made but then later repealed. You may have heard of prohibition.
Cocaine was once legal and now it's illegal. Considering the repeal of Row vs Wade, the heartbeat bills, the 15 weeks bans, the existence of state laws criminalizing or limiting abortion, and a number of other abortion laws in individual states it looks like abortion is on its way towards becoming severely limited in the US. If you are arguing that abortion might make a comeback in the US, that is not the trend.
Where did I say SCOTUS makes correct or incorrect decisions? It's just bizarre that it's taken SCOTUS 50 years of hearing untold numbers of challenges to RvW to finally be like, "Oh yeah, that was some liberal non-constitutional shit way back then and ever since."
Not unprecedented, but I wonder why now?
It is pretty simple to understand why this occurred. No need to be confused. The US is a democratic republic. We elect politicians who represent our views, who appoint judges who represent their constituent's views. There has been a growing number of people in the US who don't like abortion, and therefore there has been a growing number of lawmakers and judges who don't like abortions. Therefore the SCOTUS reviewed the abortion precedent and has indicated in their draft that they disagree and are going to repeal Row vs. Wade. Any further questions?
