I was thrilled when Roe v Wade was overturned.
I confess, I haven’t paid a lot of attention to the specifics afterwards, so I get confused.

I thought the great thing of Dobbs was that the issue had been taken away from the federal government and given to the states to decide. Since the Constitution does not discuss it, it then becomes a 10th Amendment situation, and MA can pass some laws, and Alabama can pass other laws. Seems to me that this is how things should be.

But the GOP seems to really want to return this to the hands of the federal government. I do not know why. I don’t see it as a good idea at all.

It's a stupid idea.

Republicans have thought that it was the duty of [feds]government to defend life and liberty, via the Declaration of Independence. Just as they didn't support each state allowing slavery, or polygamy.

It was given BACK to the states. Every state had its own abortion law on the books. And at one time, EVERY STATE outlawed abortion.

Along come Roe v. Wade. The USSC should have never taken it up. It belonged to the states...and to the people....not 9 judges. And it's back to where it should be...governed by State Law.

It's dead as a Federal Law.

They'd rather have the minority party Democrats running things all over the country.

The eventual goal should be a ban on abortions. But the timing is not right yet, it will not pass plus even if it does it can be reversed easily.
We should advocate for the prolife position in our culture, and pass state laws in states where people are strongly prolife.

We’ll get there eventually.

Technically it was legislation passed by SCOTUS. There are literally thousands of such cases.
