I can agree somewhat but BOTH sides know that the SCOTUS can’t “overturn” RvW. They can only vacate and send it back to the states (10th A).

So, the question remains, why the extremism NOW when it can be better played out (”protected”) in the States?

I agree that the SOTUS cannot overturn RvW as what they would be doing is vacating the decision, which itself would send abortion back to the states. We agree on that part.

What they COULD do is define when a fetus is legally a human, which would then override any state law allowing abortion once the baby reaches that point. For example, if they declared that a fetal heartbeat means an individual human, that human now gets Constitutional protection and aborting it becomes murder. There is definitely a way to end this travesty via the court, but the proper case would need to come along. Perhaps by a father who’s baby was murdered in the womb by the mother.
