Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor famously stated in 1983 that Roe v. Wade is “on a collision course with itself” considering ongoing advances in medical science.

Daily Report, Law.com—“This case serves as a stark reminder that our abortion jurisprudence has spiraled out of control,” Justice Clarence Thomas said. “Although this case does not present the opportunity to address our demonstrably erroneous ‘undue burden’ standard, we cannot continue blinking the reality of what this Court has wrought.” On the same day that abortion-rights advocates…
