I have read much of the literature and rulings on the subject. I am not a lawyer but the consensus among opponents of abortion is that The Roe case has several weaknesses:
1.It was based on Perjured testimony. The woman who was pregnant claimed in court that she had been raped. She later admitted her boyfriend was the father of the child. She told this lie under oath and Perjury is a Felony.
2.It is based on a legal fiction. The US Constitution does not give anyone a "right of privacy" as the court had claimed. The Sup Ct has made some bad rulings over the years and this was one of them. The rights of citizens are specified in the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Nowhere in the BOR does it mention privacy.
Most of the states regulate abortion and even if this challenge fails, there will be others in the future.
