This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 4 times. The weeks in which this happened:

Blackmun's "Chronological" Entry

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

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Certain Sections are Out of Date

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]
