Blackmun's "Chronological" Entry edit

The only reason I've been mentioning about Harry Blackmun's "chronological" entry in the Supreme Court decision is to sum up the day. He wrote "Abortion decisions down. LBJ dies." I only note this to mention the role that the Supreme Court also played in paying tribute to LBJ. It is relevant, not trivia, because of who led the SCOTUS tributes. -- SnoopyAndCharlieBrown202070 (talk)

Regarding Viability edit

The article should specifically mention in the first sentence that Roe only applied until viability (20-24 weeks into pregnancy). There is a lot of confusion caused by some politicians implying that codifying Roe would allow abortion until birth. Kdr202310 (talk) 11:27, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Certain Sections are Out of Date edit

Parts of the article still speak of the effects of overturning Roe v. Wade as a hypothetical. Language like "if Roe v. Wade were/is overturned" needs to be fixed. 2604:3D09:7B80:CC0:F8E8:D71B:D5B5:9A68 (talk) 01:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
