What do you think the supreme court will do with the Alabama abortion law?

Posted on 05/26/2019 1:36:08 PM PDT by Cubs Fan

It seems to me the SCOTUS could take the case--then decide whether they will keep or overturn Roe V Wade

OR The option I think they will choose--

They could refuse the case --Which will allow Alabama and other the states to determine their own abortion laws --

Effectively the same result as overturning Roe. What do you think?

Unless I missed a surprising lower court decision, refusing to hear the case would allow a lower court decision to stand, not allow Alabama to do what they will.

“Best hope it doesn’t get there unless Trump gets another pick or 2”

Exactly right. I am praying the Alabama law is not the one that goes to the SC. I think there is 0 chance this SC will not strike it down and in so doing destroying any chance of reversing R v W for a generation.

The SCOTUS needs to take it now and reverse Roe, don’t wait til a liberal court comes again and reaffirms!

As long as they have a solid lefty majority (Breyer, Sotomayor, Ginsberg, Kagan, Roberts) there is no overturning Roe V Wade. Period.

Yeah. Good grief. Typing on a cell phone is torture.

I think it is way past time to amend the Constitution so that advocates for abortion are prohibited from voting and holding public office.
