The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear Mississippi’s appeal in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to decide the fate of the state’s Gestational Age Act. That law, passed in 2018 and held in limbo ever since by the courts, bans abortions after 15 weeks except “in a medical emergency or in case of a severe fetal abnormality.” Nothing in the text or history of the Constitution bars such laws, and the Court should say so.
Better still, it should put an end to the long charade of judge-invented abortion law. The Court should say that Roe v. Wade never had any legitimate basis in our Constitution, and return the issue to the people’s representatives. It should do so precisely because this issue is too important not to be decided by the people.

It’s a long shot honestly....
Which is ridiculous isn’t it...
Power to the people! Except when the people don’t accept all the progressive beliefs
I agree that there is a fair chance that SCOTUS will fail to do the right thing.
Which would be more evidence that our entire government is run on the basis of “whatever the important people want”. This whole Rule of Law thing is, in my opinion, already out the window. The Constitution? BAH! A quaint piece of old paper.
How did it EVER get to be that one could kill a baby in the womb...just because. Unbelievable.
If it happens, the Never Trump clowns at NRO will have to thank the eeeevil Orange Man.
Returning the issue of abortion to the states is a longshot, even with the supposed 'conservative' court.
What I suspect will happen is this SCOTUS will rule in favor of Jackson in fear of the Dims going through with packing the courts as they have threatened.
It takes four years to get to a court where even an outside chance of a win exists
On Lib causes, it takes four minutes to find a like-minded judge to hand the Left an injunction to head off any sensible legislation.
Might as well be in the Constitution: no nationwide injunctions from conservative lower courts.
Well, people like sex and they wanted sexual liberation. If a a few (million) child sacrifices were needed to get there, they were willing to make that trade.
Yep, cuz conservatives don’t believe in “judicial activism” even if it’s par for the course and by not engaging in it they are just conceding that battle to the left.
Roe versus Wade was and is unConstitutional. Both the 10th and 11th Amendment were violated by Harry Blackmun and 6 other old, egotistical justices with that opinion. Please read below.
10th AMENDMENT
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
11TH AMENDMENT
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
There is no wording in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights having to do with abortion. (See Amendment 10 below). At the time when Roe vs. Wade was enacted, 48 States had restrictions on abortion. One State had partial restrictions and one State had free access to abortion. Juristiction belongs to the States!!!
Mighty brave of the National Review - better hope they checked with the US Chamber of Commerce first.
Anti-Federalist Papers
Brutus; January 31, 1788
"Every body of men invested with office are tenacious of power; they feel interested, and hence it has become a kind of maxim, to hand down their offices, with all its rights and privileges, unimpared to their successors; the same principle will influence them to extend their power, and increase their rights; this of itself will operate strongly upon the courts to give such meaning to the Constitution in all cases where it can possibly be done, as will enlarge the sphere of their own authority."
The original enabling document “The Declaration Independence”, without which the Constitution has no authority, recognizes the unfettered God given rights of Life, Liberty and The pursuit of happiness.
R vs W will not be overturned by the Supremes.
Scalia used the term Orwellian? OMG! George Orwell honed in on the DemonicRat turn to totalitarianism.
