Yes, I know it's a synecdoche for "legal abortion." But using a decades-superseded case caption as your synecdoche IN A DISCUSSION OF LEGAL PRECEDENT instead of the current governing standard is just a self-own. Precision, people. Precision.

It's important. If a party files a brief on a legal issue and cites a superseded case as setting forth the standard and framework, it is "problematic" as the kids say. It's fine to be imprecise in politics. Not in law.
