"The facts" were decided by the District Court, and were not controverted on appeal, so they were not subject to review. Res judicata, you know what that means.

The issue was whether Roe, who was no longer pregnant, had standing to challenge the law. The Court observed that the appellate process takes more than the 266 days of pregnancy, if a woman had to be pregnant when the case came before the Supreme Court, no one could ever challenge the law and exhaust the orderly process of appeal.

The Court held that the other appellants didn't have standing, so there's no reason to even bother reading about them.
