Where is Susan Collin's "concern" over Roe in light of the Texas ruling?

After ensuring us that various RW justices, including Kavanaugh, considered it settled law?

She said she would wait until the Mississippi ruling to comment:

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) says she won’t comment on a major Supreme Court case challenging the landmark abortion rights ruling Roe v. Wade until a decision is reached, likely until next summer.

“I’m going to wait until the decision is rendered,” Collins told HuffPost.

“I’m for Roe,” is all she said when asked if she worried for its future.

But we did have a ruling today, and to no surprise she said nothing. She's exposed herself again as a complete hypocrite and a liar.

She supposedly supports codifying Roe into law. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/gop-sen-susan-collins-supports-codifying-roe-v-wade-abortion-n1285202

What do you want to bet she votes against it when a bill does come up?

A total tool of the Republican Party. She will never be remembered as a Margaret Chase Smith or a Olympia Snowe. Just a Trump rubber stamper. Her concern noted and put in the trashcan.

She has never had any concern.

She knew exactly what would happen.

She is a republican.

Republicans are evil liars.

I'm not sure where anyone got this idea. She keeps her mouth shut about abortion to appease her voters that she's fooled.

allows her to "thread the needle", along the lines of saying that Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land...nothing to see here...yadda-yadda-yadda.
