While speaking at the University of Chicago Law School this past weekend, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the landmark abortion case, Roe v. Wade, was decided by “unelected old men” who went too far, and that overturning the law wouldn’t make much difference one way or the other.

LifeSiteNews is reporting that the 80 year-old Ginsburg, who is known to be the most liberal on the nation’s high court, told students she would have preferred that the court struck down only the Texas law in question in the Roe case rather than affecting all other states as well.

“My criticism of Roe is that it seemed to have stopped the momentum that was on the side of change,”” she said. “Instead, the court should have put its stamp of approval on the side of change and let that change develop in the political process.”

The decision should have affirmed a woman’s right to abortion rather than an alleged right to privacy, she said.

As a result, the Roe decision “wasn’t woman-centered, it was physician-centered.”

Should Roe be overturned, “it’s not going to matter that much” she said. “Even in the worst-case scenario, regulation of abortion would simply return to the 50 states, and you would have a number of states that will never go back to the way it was.”

Her opinion is sure to rankle the nation’s abortion lobby which has long used the possibility of the overturning of Roe v. Wade to terrorize women into supporting abortion rights.
