Now, Ginsberg also believe Roe vs Wade was correctly decided, but did argue that the timing of the decision was bad. The timing was bad for the Decision stopped in its track the then ongoing reform of abortion laws that was occurring in the US, but striking down all of them. Roe vs Wade also united the opposition to Abortion, given the broad nature of Roe vs Wade, those people who had supported limited reform of abortion law, either had to accept no restrictions on abortion (except in the last trimester) or support those people who opposed all abortions. Many supporters of reform ended up opposing abortions. Thus the huge opposition to abortion we have in the US at the present time. In many way Ginsberg saw this, she accepts it today, but has commented that Roe vs Wade was Judicial Activism that has come back to haunt the Supreme Court.
