Packing the court and organizing a case to arrive at the correct time would seem to have been an option to do just that. Although I'm not sure the moderate Republicans could have been convinced (maybe just moderate Republicans don't believe it's murder?). So you may have me there.
Packing the court would destroy it and the country, and even if you believed abortion was murder you’d have to balance it against the suffering caused by the destruction of the rule of law.
