But that's not exactly what happened with RoevWade. 22 (or was it 26?) states
had either passed or were considering abortion legislation -- more legislatures
than have been involved in Marriage Equality.
And two of the largest states -- California and New York had both abolished
anti-abortion laws by then.
The narrative of the Supreme Court suddenly changing everything is not exactly
accurate.
