"The problem here is that she is filing 32 years after the case closed."

I'm not sure if this will be a problem because part of the Appeal includes studies and research that show the long term effects of abortion. They have reasonably concluded that abortion is not just harmful to women but harmful to society.

The real problem is who is on the Supreme Court. I would have preferred to wait until atleast one more conservative Justice was appointed before filing the Appeal (if that is possible because of time limitations on the Appeal).

Well said.

The ruling is supposedly for ever thus no statute of limitations. This is the Supreme Court. They can and have heard other cases long after the original rulings.

Waiting may depend. If there is a bad ruling then there will be even more pressure on the DemocRATS to allow conservative judges on the bench and thus less of a problem if the "nuclear option" is necessary. Especially if they rule against God again.

Her cause of action is tied to a statement that she perjured herself.

The other information in the appeal is essentially window dressing--the cause of action is what's critical, and this pleading is going to bomb, badly. The Court will most likely decline to hear the case without further comment.

The real problem is who is on the Supreme Court. I would have preferred to wait until atleast one more conservative Justice was appointed before filing the Appeal (if that is possible because of time limitations on the Appeal).

The time limitations on appeals--particularly by the winning party--is extremely limited. It's well under 32 years.
