What if the US &/or Israel didn't have the "legal" right? But they did have the legal right. Choose another example.

It's a great example. Scientists call it a thought experiment.
What is legal is highly debatable.
Article 9 of the Bill of Rights: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Declaration of Independence: "unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
It can EASILY be argued that Roe v. Wade is illegal, unconstitutional, by these 2 points.
It is well recognised by case law that an illegal statute does not start being illegal when revoked, it is illegal from the moment it is enacted, even though the courts might call it legal.
