From factchecker Snopes. This theory (I call it a theory as apparently there is no hard proof said claim is legit) has been circulating on social media recently and in particular amongst far-left groups, and it's time to set the record straight. Full disclosure, I consider myself vehemently pro-choice when it comes to abortion rights and even started a pro-choice group on this site, and do not agree whenever Government encroaches on any of our rights. All the same, I'm not interested in taking sides and will gladly give credit where it's due if the evidence leads me to, regardless of who may get upset over such in the process.
Did Conservative Justices Lie About Roe v. Wade?
Left-wing critics caused "#LyingGOP" to trend on social media in May 2022. But did they miss something important?
Claim:
Five conservative Supreme Court justices dishonestly suggested, in Senate confirmation hearings, that they thought Roe v. Wade was beyond overturning.
Rating: False-

Same here. Based on some of my observations over the years though, when discussing what could be considered controversial topics people's emotions tend to run high and in the process rational level-headed reasoning goes out the door.
Most interesting. WARNING! Metaphors ahead.

Hhmm, good question.
It appears that at the least, the Justices were evasive when answering many questions.

No doubt as to the evasive part, but still not outright lying as some had promoted though, not of which any evidence that I've come across anyways.
On a side note, Snopes is generally known to lean more to the left, and it's interesting albeit concerning to sit back and watch some of those on the far-left suggest somehow Snopes was wrong on that, despite the sources that were linked to, simply because Snopes may have said something that of which they did not want to hear. Of course, such folks will vehemently deny said evidence in favor of believing whatever narrative it is they wish to cheer on. Peculiar times we live in...
