Leftists are attempting to sell the narrative that a Justice Amy Coney Barrett will instantly end Roe v. Wade, the premier Supreme Court decision governing a woman's right to abortion.
Parties unsatisfied with lower court decisions can petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case or grant a writ of certiorari.
Second of all, if the court chose to hear an abortion case, they would have to get a majority decision to change the current law.
One rogue justice doesn't get to change the law of the highest court in the land.
Otherwise said, the case at hand is to be decided by the decisions of similar cases in the past.
If a judge wanted to rule on an abortion case, they would be required to evaluate the facts and merits of the present case, while respecting the applicable legal precedents set by Roe v. Wade.
The power of the Supreme Court and its justices is to interpret the law, determine the constitutionality of the law, and apply it to individual cases.
