We should get rid of Roe. Let each state have a referendum on abortion.

As the Florida situation shows, the willingness of the courts to legislate goes beyond the US Supreme Court. Roe could be reversed tomorrow (it will never be, IMO, because the court is too arrogant), and each state court would step in to fill the gap and prevent legislation that restricts abortion.

I don't doubt that in the least. But I sure would love to see abortion out of the courts entirely. Both sides are getting into the "my judge is bigger than your judge" mindset!

At least if it were decided in the legislatures, we the people could vote in or out the decision makers.

Much easier to impeach state judges.
