Charles Fried, former judge and US solicitor general who changed course on abortion, dies at 88

Decades after trying to persuade the US Supreme Court to overrule the right to abortion in most instances, Mr. Fried wrote in 2021 that overturning Roe v. Wade now "would be an act of constitutional vandalism — not conservative, but reactionary."
