The National Law Journal's Marcia Coyle said she thought it was unlikely that either of the major abortion rulings would be overturned, even if the Supreme Court becomes more conservative in the wake of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death. Instead, she said, the high court “is more likely to cut back on the abortion right" by focusing on restrictive state laws in the lower courts "than to suddenly overturn everything.” Still she said, “I think that the abortion right is very much in danger if there’s a sixth conservative justice." Coyle spoke with PBS NewsHour's national correspondent John Yang on Sept. 22 about the life and legacy of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
