Opponents of abortion, sensing victory, turned their attention to the courts and appealed cases to the newly constituted Court in the hope that the justices would seize the opportunity to reverse Roe. Pro-choice groups, meanwhile, turned to the political arena, mobilizing support for pro-choice candidates and urging Congress to enact legislation safeguarding abortion rights. — G.
