Precedent is not inviolate.

Roe is less than 50 years old. Plessy was older when it was overturned.

Notwithstanding that Roe was a terrible decision with dubious legal reasoning, the science itself requires a revisiting of the decision.

Plus, if you are a true believer in "small f" federalism, then you should believe that this is a matter that should be left to the states (which, as noted, would be the only effect of overturning Roe).

You know Roe v Wade was a travesty when the woman in the center of the court battle regrets her efforts to legalize abortion and has been fighting for decades on the side for pro life. Here's what the woman herself thinks about Roe v Wade,

quote:
Americans don’t know that McCorvey, who was “pro-choice” on abortion at the time, is now a pro-life advocate. She is now dedicated to reversing the Supreme Court case that bears her fictitious name, Jane Roe. In a video, McCorvey explains her effort to obtain a legal abortion in the 1970s when facing an unplanned pregnancy. However, she has never had an abortion and now realizes that her court case was the biggest mistake of her life and currently fights to stop abortion.

“Back in 1973, I was a very confused twenty-one year old with one child and facing an unplanned pregnancy,” she says in the ad. “At the time I fought to obtain a legal abortion, but truth be told, I have three daughters and never had an abortion.” “I think it’s safe to say that the entire abortion industry is based on a lie…. I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life undoing the law that bears my name,” McCorvey says.
