Wade decision, allowing individual states to determine the legality of abortion within its jurisdiction. Four justices signed on to Samuel Alito's opinion, but what JUSTICE wrote in a concurring opinion that “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous,’ we have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents?"
