The vote to overturn Roe v. Wade was 5-4. Alito wrote the majority opinion, joined by Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.
The vote to uphold Mississippi’s abortion restriction was 6-3. Roberts voted with the majority for that outcome, but he said in a separate opinion that he would not have overturned Roe.

Perhaps, but it shows (yet again) that Roberts is not to be trusted. He’s a politician, not a jurist.

From Glenn Reynolds, Constitutional Law Professor, University of Tennesee, talking about Congress and abortion:
“It will not be able to either protect abortion or ban it under its commerce power because abortion isn’t interstate commerce, and is a traditional subject of state regulation.”
See his commentary on Dobbs at Instapundit com
He’s right.
That was literally one of my first thoughts, and they will get away with it. The FBI and DOJ will be curiously unable to determine who did it.
Pres. Biden, in his comments today, said that “abortion was a Constitutional right...”
Joe, please show me in the US Constitution where the right to an abortion is enumerated....
Joe also said that “the SC overturned the right to an abortion in the US” ... Joe, abortion is still legal in many states. But NONE of this will be Fact-Checked by the corrupt media...
He’s bribed and blackmailed.
understood
yes
You know, I voted for Trump twice, but his appointments…
I guess I’d vote for him if he won the nomination.
We need a real Conservative in there.

Best president in my lifetime!
NeverTrumpers: ESA_O
The midterms are 4-1/2 mionths away. Too much stuff that SloJoe is doing to piss people off. Abortion is not the #1 priority for most. Gas, inflation in general, food shortages, etc etc etc... Minimal effect on the midterms, only inthe Communist +15 districts where there wasn’t a chance to get a seat anyway
It’s INTERSTATE commerce, isn’t it? I dont think commerce clause has any jurisdiction within states. Legal eagles, please join in, I don’t claim to know the answer to this but am curious.
And shame on the cowardly and disreputable Roberts.
I believe Congress is in the process of banning the product of a vaping company from the market. That would apply to all states.
My Mom sat me down and said pretty much the same thing!
She said “IF you get pregnant, you will NOT get an abortion, and WE together would raise the baby.”
Turns out, I couldn’t have babies either!
I got chills when I read your post!
“Or Congress.”
That would be problematic. Murder is not a federal law decision, it’s a state issue.

Just because they do that doesn’t mean it’s constitutional…. They’ll try whatever they can get away with of course.
They better be careful if they try that. A federal law could be challenged and end up in the Supreme court where they might just uphold an across the nation federal right to life as stated in the Declaration. (Comparing it to the emancipation proclamation.) They better just take it to the states where it belongs.
Or if they try, using the commerce clause as DoodleDawg says they might, we might just end up overturning a whole lot of unconstitutional garbage that they’ve used the commerce clause to justify these past 50+ years.
The constitutionality of the Commerce Clause has been upheld by any number of Supreme Court decisions.
And I think I’ve told you before that my Dad’s sailboat was named the, ‘Ms. B. Haven!’
We were both BLESSED to have had GOOD MOMS! :)
My Mom is on vacation right now, (she went to TN to see the Ark exhibit) but when I talk to her this weekend I’m going to tell her that time has run out for an 84 year old woman to have a late-term abortion on her 62 year old daughter, LOL!
