Following the news of the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision overruling Roe v. Wade...


I thought it was 6-3!

The Dobbs decision about the 15 week time limit for Mississippi was 6-3, with Roberts joining the conservatives.

The also voted to overturn Roe v. Wade separately. That ruling was 5-4 with Roberts joining the liberals and voting not to overturn Roe.

So it depends which one you are talking about.

I don’t care about the 6-3 decision about Mississippi’s 15 week limit, because once you overturn Roe, it is all bets are off and all of the states can go back to the drawing board and exclusively pass laws regarding abortion.

The Federal Government now has no power to regulate abortion in any way. It is strictly a state rights issue.

So technically Mississippi got their more restrictive time limit, but in all reality they will probably ban abortion outright now.
