This is a faulty working definition, and probably the Fallacy of Composition and Fallacy of Wrong Direction . . .

False Dilemma, and Fallacy of Consequences . . .
And even taking off my logic hat to ignore your appeals to an anonymous authority, I think we're missing the fact that the Supreme Court is much more than the Abortion Court, and that most pro-life/pro-choice arguments ignore the elements of constitutional law that the Supreme Court must decide - and very few have addressed this aspect for Mr. Roberts.
I think we're overstating his impact on potential Roe decisions - plus we're ignoring the very real possibility that the Court doesn't even desire to rule further upon the matter.
