She is right. This is not to be decided by the Court. Besides, abortion is not in the Constitution. It is not a “right”.
However, States’ rights and equal protection of the law are in the Constitution.
Roe v Wade only broadly decriminalized abortion. I have no problem with that under current (insufficient) definitions and those who take the other extreme are beating a dead horse in promoting a neverending political conflict and, as Tomi states, spit on the Constitution.
Also in the Constitution is all the guidelines for Congress to make law. A decision of ‘injustice’ by SCOTUS is moot when Congress resolves the injustice by making law. SCOTUS has said as much. “Abortion” is much too broad. There needs to be federal legislation to eliminate the uncertainties on which SCOTUS found with their decision in RvW.
Certain types of abortions SHOULD be illegal and a much broader national debate must occur to resolve this conflict. States should be left to decide on the basis of their own citizenry within guidelines established by Congress. As a species, humans treat animals better than our babies; the statistics are indisputable.
Pro-life vs. “abortion” is a non-starter. It’s only more power to those in power and perpetual conflict for the rest of us. A dialogue is in order, not at SCOTUS, but on a national level in Congress, but the cowards there will choose political conflict over dialogue if that is what their constituents demand, a continuous feedback loop reinforcing the definition of insanity.
Reversing the “teaching kids in grade school that sex is a recreational activity for which there are no consequences” is a great place to start undoing the damage, but it will take a generation.

The first part of your reply is correct. Abortion is not a "right".
But you are dead wrong about the second point. The whole reason for the debate is that the SC in 1973 did indeed wrongly claim that abortion was a "Constitution Right". They made it up from whole cloth using a nebulous "penumbra" argument tied to the "right to privacy" which is also not in the Constitution.
