Donald Trump was a prime example of this electioneering tactic: he went from selfless pro-choice advocate to evangelical protector of the unborn almost overnight.

According to the Politico report, the first draft of the court's majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito and backed by four other conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — in 'Thomas E Dobbs, official State Health Department of the Mississippi Department of Health v. Jackson's Women's Health Organization, popularly known as the “Mississippi case.”

It was unclear which way the opinion of the ninth justice, Chief Justice John Roberts, would go, but a possible dissent from him would leave the court's conservative bloc with a 5-4 majority.

“And one of the important things to note about Roe v. Wade is that it has been reaffirmed many times in the last 45 years, as you know," Kavanaugh added, citing the 1992 Supreme Court ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. that reaffirmed Roe.

Kavanaugh, however, refused to make promises during his hearings that he would not vote to overturn Roe, saying he would violate judicial rules by doing so.

While Kavanaugh's earlier briefs and rulings hinted that he at least might vote to restrict abortion rights as a judge, Gorsuch was a complete mystery during his 2017 hearings.
