It never helps to start a good faith debate with 'I can't be bothered with you....'. It sets the wrong tone and smacks of arrogance - that aside, I don't see any problems with what you've linked. I'm not holding a pro-life position across this article, I'm holding a 'this isn't good enough' position on Roe. If the case can be made that Alito is doing an overreach - and according to your linked article, it can be... then such a thing needs to be argued and argued fairly.

There will be some who say that Alito is overreaching, others who say he is 'rebalancing'. Either way, had abortion been argued under different parts of the constitution it would have been settled and sorted. There is nothing illegal about what Alito is attempting, there is nothing unforeseen about what is happening here - this was a failure of the US system to rectify a bad piece of law.

Now let me simply direct you to an authentic legal scholar who believed Roe v Wade was the right choice but had some scepticism it was left open for attack. Justice Bader Ginsberg.
