"I guess Sandra Day O'Connor's demand that "the contending sides" on abortion "end their national division" and accept the court's diktat in Roe didn't work out for her."

There exists strong contention that the USSC abandoned all legitimacy and abdicated back in 1973 with the decision on Roe.

That's what happens when they just make stuff up as they go along. "emanating from the penumbra...."

If I'm not mistaken, even Ginsberg at one point said the USSC had no place in taking it on. It was certainly not a civil rights issue (a constitutionally guaranteed right cannot be given to one group over another, as in to females over males, think women's suffrage and its impetus). So it certainly was not a USSC case to settle but a state issue.
