| Subject: Immoral Justice Anthony Kennedy got cold feet and kept abortion legal Thu Jun 28, 2018 6:06 am | |
| The Supreme Court was about to overturn Roe v. Wade, until Justice Anthony Kennedy got cold feet. In 1992, Chief Justice William Rehnquist was in his chambers writing the majority decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a case that would have overturned legalized abortion. Unbeknownst to him, that’s when Kennedy got a note from the then-Justice Harry Blackmun. ''Dear Harry,'' Blackmun wrote Kennedy in a little note. ''I need to see you as soon as you have a few free moments. I want to tell you about some developments in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, and at least part of what I say should come as welcome news.''
