There are so many things being done now by all three branches of government that your statement applies to.

“I cannot think to lay my finger upon just where in the Constitution he has the power to do this.”

No president using the Constitution ever had the ability to rule on abortion because it is an elective procedure and doesn’t fall under the first amendment as a governed freedom. The Supreme Court ruling in the Roe was misguided in its application but was the only connection to the federal government they could create.

And now that Roe has been taken off the table, it is going to be difficult to reapply it by declaring an emergency based upon state rulings that the Constitution and the courts have now been determined mute on. If the GOP holds its ground, it will take a Constitutional amendment that will never make it through congress.

And even if it does, it is a health issue that is covered in state law and is not an insurrection. But if the GOP folds like they have been known to do, they will allow (ignore) the obvious violation of law and a new back door will be opened.

RE: Constitutional “right” for getting an abortion.....

Local news woman said “the Roe decision was overruled by the Supreme Court and women lost their Constitutional right to abortion.”

She had heard that lie so many times that she obviously believed it.

Show us the line in the Constitution, “reporterette.” (Nod to Rush Limbaugh for that term.)
