The issue of ABORTION is not MOOT ... it was controversial then, and it is controversial now, maybe even MORE SO, over the years, and thus should be revisited, and either UPHELD, or OVERTURNED. IMHO the argument of "precedence" is ONLY relevent to the LOWER courts. Lower courts can argue that although they disagree with the precedence they are BOUND by it... not so in the USSC

The cause of action for Ms. McCorvey in this specific filing (i.e., her statement that she lied when she claimed that she was raped) is moot.

Perhaps not, but the Texas laws that the appeal seeks to revisit are no longer applicable, thus the appeal is moot.

Bad lawyering by the CFRA.
