Part of what the justices will have to consider is a legal principle called stare decisis, which means respecting precedent.&amp;nbsp; If the High Court wants to respect Roe, especially its deep ideological and legal flaws, it should take into account why Roe was decided the way it was.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Since then, the pro-abortion movement has insisted that abortion is a “women’s rights” issue. But in 1973, many Americans, especially elites, believed a now-debunked theory that the world was headed for catastrophe due to over-population. The Supreme Court justices themselves noted in the official majority opinion in Roe v. Wade that this concern, in part, motivated their decision to legalize abortion.&amp;nbsp; In the Dobbs case, the justices should consider that this part of the legal precedent is a debunked and harmful theory, and therefore should see abortion for what it truly is: an unconstitutional evil.
