Not possible becuase of the "CATCH-22" any "new law" will be deemed UNCONSTITUTIONAL based on Roe v. Wade.. Correct Roe v. Wade, and new law is not needed.

Ever hear of two cases, Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education?

The Court did a 180-degree turn on the controversy at the center of those two cases.

It can happen again.

Roe v. Wade is not going to be "corrected" 32 years after it closes, based solely on a Rule 60(b) filing by the plaintiff (who did, after all, get what she asked for at the time). Period. That's not how the legal system actually works.

There are MANY cases that come before lower courts and are ruled on based on the "precedent" of the wrongly decided Roe v Wade case. The only way to stop the cycle is by overturning the original case or by constitutional ammendment...
