Roe vs Wade was 5-4 I believe, not 7-2.

But I see what you mean: Ginsberg ultra-liberal (er, mainstream) replaced White, almost a conservative.

Roe was 7-2 back in 1973.

The court had 4 judges willing to overturn it at the time before Byron White's death, Casey v. Planned Barrenhood. Renquist and White were the two original Roe dissenters and they were joined in Casey by Scalia and Thomas

But I see what you mean: Ginsberg ultra-liberal (er, mainstream) replaced White, almost a conservative.

Yup. She tipped it 5-4 to 6-3.
