Maybe I’m missing something. But didn’t the Supreme Court kick the whole abortion thing back to the states? If that’s the case, no federal law can override that ruling. It would take a constitutional amendment.
A federal law could specifically override the SCOTUS ruling. The SCOTUS vacated Roe because it was not codified in law or contained in the constitution as an enumerated right.
Correct, it's un-Constitutional on its face. The USSC will slap it back down (if they have 60 votes to overcome the fillibuster or the Dem's nuke the fillibuster rule) faster than the Democrats will lose the House & Senate in 99 days.
Yep. But we can codify Roe by legislation. Then someone will file a suit. The SCOTUS will take a year to take the case. In the meantime, abortion will be legal in all 50 states.
The Roe vs Wade ruling was made in the absence of a Federal abortion law.

Exactly! Congress can’t “codify” Roe and make it a federal law. The Supreme Court ruled it is unconstitutional and thus a matter for the States.
