You’re so cute - using logic on a female legislator, expecting accountability.
That’s precious.
It’s easy - who ever 45 picks goes up there and says, “I believe in stare decisis.”
There you go. Done.
What’s she going to do?
As for Roe v. Wade - whatever. Best you can do is through it to the states again, which is entirely appropriate. Laboratories of democracy.
The way it has to happen is for a state like Alabama or Utah to jump up and say, “We’re banning abortion in almost every case but a few (rape and medical necessity)”
Somebody will complain, and it will go to the SCOTUS. They’ll uphold it in Utah.
Nevada, however, will pop up and say, “We’re soulless - come to Las Vegas and whack out your flesh and blood - then gamble!”
Nevada will do huge business in killing kids.
There you go.
“But I’m pregnant, and can’t afford to go to Nevada.”
OK, then have the baby and put it up for adoption. Think of it as a 9 month biological probationary period for not having a goalie in front of the net. Side benefit, you’ll likely be able to have kids when you are older and less stupid. Oh, and you won’t have a murdered child on your conscious. Oh, and a kid gets the chance to grow up and be something.
Everybody wins.

They are less worried about keeping it legal than keeping it as the most convenient default option.
Even pre Roe, there were rape and medical exceptions everywhere. Today, even with a reversal, things would not change in all red states and many blue states.
