What is also strange about all this is that the SCOTUS already has Catholics who will not overturn Roe v. Wade, and Kavanaugh says he respects legal precedent. In addition, Roe v. Wade is legal precedence and it is a Scotus hallmark. That is not flimsy. What is flimsy is the far extremes the 2 main political parties have gone to on all the issues. There may be some better limits to abortion with Kavanaugh. In his abortion case his dissenting opinion clearly showed he preferred that an illegal woman had time to talk to a sponsor before making a decision since she was under age.
