The majority decision in Roe v. Wade (1973) stated the following: "appellant and some amici argue that the woman's right is absolute and that she is entitled to terminate her pregnancy at whatever time, in whatever way, and for whatever reason she alone chooses. With this we do not agree." Subsequently, Casey (1992) affirmed that States have authority to restrict access to abortion. Fourteen years after the landmark decision of 73 Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) then admitted she was never raped and had only made up the story because she regretted the consensual sex that got her pregnant. Objectively analyzing abortion is considered an oppositional stance by pro and anti groups alike, that either refuse or neglect to acknowledge gross inconsistencies in their beliefs. In California, abortion is seen as absolute despite the procedure actually being illegal after 'fetal viability'. In Oklahoma, which is preparing to pass one of the strictest bans on abortion, there are many exemptions for medical reasons, rape, sexual violence, and incest. None of this seems to matter to the pro or anti advocates. While the right-wing is passing off abortion bans with massive exemptions as absolute bans, the left-wing is passing off the same bans as having no exemptions. Others are simply calling to override Congress, dictate the law by the Executive, and pack the Supreme Court in the name of 'jusitice'. The White House is even encouraging protests and insurrection to influence the decisions of judges, a Federal Crime punishable under 18 U.S.C. section 1507.
