An affirmation of States’ Rights
Its the only way to control Woke DC Fedzilla, and confront the DOJ/KGB
...”ending Federal Recognition of a Constitutional right to abortion”
...Gee. They say it like it’s a bad thing. Making it a right WAS the problem. Pregnant women were the only people on earth who could commit murder and not be penalized. “Abortion is the sacrifice of the unborn, on the altar of convenience”. What’s so hard to understand? Keep your damned legs together.
No doubt, and this is a great ruling. But I'm not convinced it's really a matter of states' rights. If an unborn baby is really a human being, the protection of its life is a constitutional, hence federal, matter.
Freakin Roberts!!
You can count on a wave of domestic terrorism to sweep the country. The American Cheka under Merrick Garland will stand by passively and do nothing to stop it, but they will do everything in their power to encourage the terrorists.
Needless to say, the Media-Dem Party will also encourage the terrorists.
We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court’s opinion.
Alito’s opinion began with an exploration and criticism of Roe v. Wade and its holding that while states have “a legitimate interest in protecting ‘potential life,’’ this interest was not strong enough to prohibit abortions before the time of fetal viability, understood to be at about 23 weeks into pregnancy.
The Court did not explain the basis for this line, and even abortion supporters have found it hard to defend Roe’s reasoning,” Alito wrote.
Chief Justice John Roberts agreed that the viability line “never made any sense,” but said he would have taken “a more measured course” with this case. Rather than overturn Roe v. Wade altogether, Roberts said he would have continued to recognize a right to get an abortion, and that the right should “extend far enough to ensure a reasonable opportunity to choose, but need not extend any further.”
The Court’s opinion recognized that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause has been found to guarantee certain rights that are not spelled out in the Constitution, but that those rights are “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.” Abortion, the Court said, “does not fall within this category,” as “such a right was entirely unknown in American law” until the late 20th century.
The opinion continued to shred the Roe decision, saying it “was egregiously wrong from the start,” and that “[i]ts reasoning was exceptionally weak[.]”
Rather than continue the tradition established by Roe and Case, the Court wrote that it “is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
RE: Freakin Roberts!!
Surprisingly, he was one of the six who sided with the majority.
I had expected the decision to be 5-4.
I hope they DO take to the streets and reek chaos it will just show everyone how hypocritical the Jan.6 committee really is!!{
Meaningless doublespeak drivel.
Really bothered by all the headlines. They aren’t taking away a right, just admitting it was never there.
That’s a Fox News headline???
Where have you been the last 50 years? Has Fed.gov, controlled top-to-bottom by progressives and now woke radicals and their massive intelligence and law-enforcement apparatus done anything but expand abortion?
The people are re-learning the importance of limiting the power of the government.
I think Roberts was probably a decent HOWEVER the leak caused him to change sides and back the court!!
Indeed.
Right. To. Life.
I still think it's more likely than not that he was the leaker (not to the press, I suspect, but to the white house hoping for leverage and THEY leaked it without his agreement) and if he sided with the majority than he knew the chance to get the ruling he wanted was lost and he made a political decision to sign his name to it for plausible deniability reasons.
Roberts joined with a concurring opinion upholding the Mississippi law (6-3). He did not join the other five justices in overturning Roe v. Wade (5-4).
States have powers.
There is a large difference.
Saying states have rights is using the Orwellian language of Progressives.
