Twelve Republican Governors, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, filed a brief with the Supreme Court requesting the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
The baby killing Leftists worst nightmare has become a reality.
From the Tampa Bay Times:
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Florida on to an effort to have two of the most important abortion cases in U.S. history overturned by the nation’s highest court.
In a Thursday brief, DeSantis, along with ten other Republican governors, argued the Supreme Court should reconsider past decisions on the 1973 case Roe v. Wade and the 1992 case Planned Parenthood of Southeast Pennsylvania v. Casey. Roe established the constitutional right to an abortion nationally, and Casey reaffirmed that right while making it easier for states to legally pass some abortion regulations.
If the Supreme Court, which currently has a 6-3 conservative majority, were to overturn those cases, abortion law could be left up to individual states — which could then choose to ban the procedure or regulate it in a way not legal under current Supreme Court precedent.
Since Tampa Bay Times reporting, the number of governors has grown to 12, and include:
According to CNN, 228 Republican members of Congress sent a similar brief to the court with the same request. The key focus of the brief:
The judicial constitutionalization of abortion represents an unwarranted intrusion into the sovereign sphere of the States. Returning to the States the plenary authority to regulate abortion without federal interference would restore the proper (i.e., constitutional) relationship between the States and the Federal Government. It also would produce positive results, including letting the democratic process work as intended, deescalating tensions on this divisive topic, and allowing the States to serve as laboratories of democracy for establishing and implementing suitable abortion regulations based on the latest scientific knowledge.
The Supreme Court is slated to hear the Mississippi case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, which challenges a law that bans abortion after 15 weeks gestation. As SCOTUSBlog reported, a decision in support of the state law,
could upend the Supreme Court’s landmark decisions in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, in which the court ruled that the Constitution protects the right to have an abortion before a fetus becomes viable.
This is what abortion rights advocates have feared and fought against for decades, so these additional briefs by the 12 Governors and the U.S. Representatives leave no doubt of this intent. Now that a conservative-leaning Supreme Court will review the case, an overturn of Roe v. Wade could become a possibility.
And the meltdown ensues:
Mississippi— by asking the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade today— is begging for a return of back alley abortions, the death of thousands of women, and the oppression of poor women (especially of color) who will have no autonomy while wealthy women will work around state lines.

“Why is Kristi Noem missing from the list?”
Perhaps it’s theater from Rinos.
Look at some of the names.
DeSantis 2024.
Of course the stupid R v W should be overturned as well as the stupid Gay Marriage joke passed by Obama. And while we are at it, overturn the lame Griswold v. Connecticut 1964 about contraception. Big families create booming economies and grand cathedrals.
Fearless prediction:
1) Scotus will keep Roe 5-4, with Roberts and Gorsuch voting with the leftists.
2) Scotus will vote to overturn Roe 6-3. President Harris will immediately work with the Dems in Congress to expand the Court to 13 Justices, and appoint four whose common thread will be that they considered RBG too conservative. By 2025 Roe will be reinstated, 9-4, with Roberts and Gorsuch voting with the leftists.
Nothing is ever settled until it is settled the way the Left wants it settled. The only other options are a Third Great Awakening that converts much of the Left, and the Jehu Solution to the priests of Baal in our country, which is highly unlikely.
