Give me a proverbial break!!
Are you suggesting that when a matter of this nature is reconsidered in light of 32 years of history, and it is determined that the matter was originally WRONGLY decided, that we should not make the correction because we don't want to upset a "long-standing precedence"?
You want every 30+-year-old case that didn't go someone's way reopened? That's what you'd get.
The entire basis of action is McCorvey's admission that she perjured herself. The proper time for her to have admitted this was in 1973. She didn't do it then, or within a reasonable time thereafter.
The supreme court should have overturned the decision as soon as Roe recanted her testimony, and then hauled her back to court on a perjury charge. That didn't happen so Roe is attempting to get their attention through other legal means. Hope she is successful. Put the abortion question back in the box it came from, and stop listening to the anguished cries from fems about butcher doctors, coat hangers, and death by abortion. According to some statistics, the suicide rate for those who have had an abortion, far exceeds the death rate caused by bad doctoring. Statistics aren't everything, but the total abortion numbers per year ought to be worth something in a statistical world.
