== Regarding Viability ==
== Justices in the Majority ==

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.

For the justices in the majority, should we keep the picture of just Harry Blackmun, as he wrote the majority opinion, or can we also add those of Chief Justice of [[Warren Burger]] and [[Thurgood Marshall]]? The only reason I'm asking this is because the big news the day of ''Roe v. Wade'' was the passing of LBJ and although both Burger and Marshall were in the majority, they also led the SCOTUS tributes on the passing.

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.

One thing that I mentioned here that was removed, but I feel that it needs to be mentioned is that the news of ''Roe v.

I used [[Golden Age Nursing Home fire]] article as the guide, as that happened the day after the [[assassination of JFK]], but the news of it was overshadowed by the assassination.

Under [[Roe v.

Both cite apparently reliable sources, which do support the respective claims: the first date is given by Arlidge in [https://books.google.com/books?id=1Uw0DgAAQBAJ&pg=PA176 The Lawyers Who Made America], while the second is given by Prager in [https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/09/jane-roe-v-wade-baby-norma-mccorvey/620009/ Jane Roe's Baby Tells Her Story]. How should this be resolved?

Personally, looking at both sources, I'm inclined to attribute this to a mistake of fact on Arlidge's part, even if his book is generally reliable. The claim for the date of birth is more specific and more recent, and the article indicates it's based on the author's access to primary sources. Arlidge does not indicate where he got the date for his claim. [[User:Agreeable-absurdist|Agreeable-absurdist]] ([[User talk:Agreeable-absurdist|talk]]) 16:03, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

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)

Justices in the Majority

[edit]

The only reason I'm asking this is because the big news the day of Roe v. Wade was the passing of LBJ and although both Burger and Marshall were in the majority, they also led the SCOTUS tributes on the passing.

Discrepancy in dates

[edit]

Under History of the case, there is an apparent discrepancy between the second paragraph, which states that McCorvey discovered her pregnancy in June 1969, and the third, which states that she gave birth on June 2, 1970. Both cite apparently reliable sources, which do support the respective claims: the first date is given by Arlidge in The Lawyers Who Made America, while the second is given by Prager in Jane Roe's Baby Tells Her Story. How should this be resolved?

Personally, looking at both sources, I'm inclined to attribute this to a mistake of fact on Arlidge's part, even if his book is generally reliable. The claim for the date of birth is more specific and more recent, and the article indicates it's based on the author's access to primary sources. Arlidge does not indicate where he got the date for his claim. Agreeable-absurdist (talk) 16:03, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
