The court should hold, in an appropriate case, that abortion laws do not trigger any form of heightened scrutiny under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that earlier cases holding otherwise are to that extent overruled. Rational-basis review would apply, and every abortion law should easily pass it.

Of course, far more must be done to restore the proper scope of due-process, but one case at a time. (And some people think I'm not moderate.)
