There is nothing in the Constitution about abortion, and the Constitution does not implicitly protect the right.
Watch. They’ll punch a pregnant woman passing on the street in the stomach to keep abortion alive.
Candidate Trump: I’ll appoint Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion case: OCT 19 2016 9:31 PM EDT

Donald Trump said the overturning of the landmark Supreme Court decision giving women the right to abortion “will happen, automatically,” if he is elected president and gets to appoint justices to the high court.
“I am pro-life,” Trump said during Wednesday night’s presidential debate when asked whether he wanted that decision, Roe v. Wade, reversed by the Supreme Court.
Trump said that if the ruling were to be reversed, laws on the legality or illegality of abortion would “go back to the individual states” to decide, which was the case prior to Roe v. Wade.
But when moderator Chris Wallace pressed him on whether he wanted the ruling overturned.
Trump said, “That will happen, automatically in my opinion!” because he would get to nominate potentially several justices to the court.
In response, Hillary Clinton said, “I strongly support Roe v. Wade.”
“I will defend Roe v. Wade, I will defend a woman’s right to make her own decision,” Clinton said.
She criticized Trump for having said in the past that a woman should be punished if she got an abortion when it was made illegal.
Trump fired back, saying Clinton was in favor of partial-birth abortions being legal, which meant that a fetus could be “ripped out” of a mother’s womb a day before she was due to give birth.

Just curious. Has Jorge Bush said anything about this? I would not be surprised if he never really was pro-life, just pandering for votes.
You are so very right. Mitch McConnell deserves a fair amount of recognition for the part he played in making this decision possible.
Still true, but separate issue. Time will tell.
It took 50 years for this to finally come to pass, and I have been praying and working toward it all that time. Continue to pray and ask others to pray on your behalf for the “integrity of elections” issue.
And yet, Praise the Lord for this decision.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is VERY MUCH in line with the tradition of SCOTUS.
The decision was 6-3
I have read most of the Opinion, focusing on Thomas’s concurrence.
The main opinion by Alito is a brilliant piece that basically says WHY abortion IS NOT AND CANNOT BE “inferred” to be “a right” under the Constitution.
He spells out all the steps needed to show this.
Regardless of whether or not he said it, the health, safety and welfare of it’s inhabitants are under the Tenth amendment reserved to the States.
Sadly, America is MUCH different now as we are at war with the Communist/NAZI party.
With the GOPestablishment (aka DNC-lite), patriots MUST stand and fight those treasonous bastards.
That means "no deals" as that is simply delaying the inevitable as the GOPe has shown us for years.
It took nearly 100 years for the USSC to finally, in Brown vs. Board of Education, eliminate the horrible Dred Scott decision of 1857. This despite a couple of Constitutional Amendments in the intervening years that made it clear that segregation was atrocious.
I suggest we simply praise God that we saw this decision in our lifetimes.
i am grateful. didn’t think i’d see it.
fight is just beginning though. it now, really is ON.
“This would never have happened without Trump...”
Hmmmmm.... Agree and disagree... The most prominent candidate other than Trump 6 years ago was Cruz. IF he had won, I believe the decision would have been the same. Indeed, I suspect it likely that 2 of those justices would have been nominated by Cruz.
Nevertheless, I agree that Trump or another very conservative Republican President (along with McConnell) was essential ingredient.
Roberts did not concur with overruling Roe, just that Roe permitted Mississippi to restrict abortions after 15 weeks.
Communism and national socialism are polar opposites.
Laughable.
cRuz is a Bushbot.
ONLY Trump could do this....for such a time...is this!
The Dred Scott decision was overturned by war and by a constitutional amendment in 1865.
Brown v. Board did not overturn Dred Scott, as the Constitution had been amended 90 years previously to overturn it.
Brown didn’t even overturn Plessy v. Ferguson, it made an EXCEPTION to the general rule that segregation was legal because of expert testimony by “modern psychologists” that segregation IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS was harmful to black children.
Plessy v. Ferguson was rendered irrelevant (not exactly overturned) by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and if you think Congress is not busy right now studying how a statute can overturn a Supreme Court decision, then you don’t know them like I do.
FYI...
N.A.Z.I. = National German SOCIALIST Workers Party
BOTH are branches of leftism with same TOTALITARIAN agenda.
They are NOT polar opposites as you claim.
Good grief...get a brain.
With Cruz we would NEVER have known just how corrupt the government is in EVERY stinking department, Cruz is a SWAMP creature through and through CRUZ would NEVER have been able to handle in a million years what the Trump admin. had been through NEVER!! Cruz WOULD NEVER have been on top of Covid demands we NEEDED every damn medical supply invented because Obama left everything empty Cruz does not NOW or EVER have what it takes to be a really strong POTUS, Cruz would be an excellent justice on the SCOTUS but he does NOT have the balls needed to be a REPUBLICAN POTUS, being POTUS as a Republican takes a spine made of absolute stone, Cruz does NOT have that NO WAY!!
Did you ever meet someone from the USSR that loved their system?
Are you old enough to have met Germans who loved their system?
Big difference. Communism = antifa. Total control. Mind control. Mandatory demonstrations of loyalty to a constantly changing set of rules and beliefs.
In Germany in the 30s, only politics was closed off. For heavens sake, Dachau was built to hold the leadership of KPD. The communists.
