That implies that quite a few Justices lied to get on the court. As far as I'm aware, all of them claimed that lots of precedents were settled law during confirmation hearings.
I refuse to believe that anyone would lie to become a judge. It's flat out unamerican.
All of the Justices appointed by Trump - which pushed the majority towards the conservative - were selected from a list created by the Federalist Society[0] specifically for their conservative ideology, which by definition includes opposition to Roe v. Wade.
Given how strongly conservatives hold to the belief that the US has been corrupted by federalism, secularism and progressivism, it isn't at all surprising that justices would lie during confirmation, since they believe they're serving a higher cause. In fact, Democrats are accusing them of doing exactly that[0] by claiming "settled precedent" for Roe V. Wade, which they later overturned. Of course, it's not difficult to find arguments to the contrary, the polarized optics of American politics being what it is. I'm sure Team Red has a list of examples of nominees by the Democrats who they claim did the same thing, but that doesn't disprove the thesis.
