After Roe the Court stayed active policing abortion law, unlike after Brown.

Evidence

In contrast with the arena of school desegregation, in which the Supreme Court virtually withdrew for a decade after announcing its landmark ruling in Brown, the Court remained actively involved with abortion policy. In the two decades after Roe, the justices ruled on 21 abortion cases. From 1973 to 1986, the Court consistently reaffirmed its basic holding and closely policed state efforts to curtail the right recognized in Roe. — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 1621
