Some observations: 1. Justice Blackmun, who wrote Roe, admitted that there was no Constitutional justification for it, saying he got it from the "penumbras and emanations" of the Constitution. Even the late Justice Ginsburg, who supported the result, said it was wrongly decided. This presumptive decision, if it holds, is constitutionally correct.

2. This leak is a complete breach of legal ethics, possibly of the law itself, and the person who leaked it should be fired.

3. If you're going to call January 6 an insurrection, then you must call the demonstrations currently occurring at the Supreme Court an insurrection.

4. If this is the Court's decision, it will not end abortion, but will return it to the political arena and to the States.

However,

5. One could argue that the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, with their prohibition on taking "life, liberty, or property without due process of law," prohibit abortion. That would make it a matter properly in the Federal arena and require that it be outlawed.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

A Federalist decision here,bodes well for other casses on Federalism, and mabey overturning Woodrick v Filborne.

"If this is the Court's decision, it will not end abortion, but will return it to the political arena and to the States."

Should have happened in the first place.
