Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed in a statement released on Friday that President Biden’s Department of Justice would use “every tool at our disposal” to fight for abortion. In a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court ruled Friday that the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision is no longer the law of the land, as abortion is not protected by the U.S. Constitution. As a result, the decision will now rest with each individual state — federalism at work. Three of the five justices who overturned the landmark decision were appointed by former President Donald Trump: Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and...

It has become almost impossible for most Americans to avoid the anti-abortion arguments, the protest placards and the graphic pictures of foetuses. They might encounter them outside abortion clinics, but they are also in thousands of churches, schools, clinics and homes. Women who want an abortion, especially in Republican-controlled states, face a maze of regulations. And now, finally, the anti-abortion movement is in sight of its greatest victory. Americans have had the right to abortion since 1973 when, in the landmark Roe v Wade decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the right was guaranteed by the US constitution. No state...

Wade if Republicans install Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court and strike down the landmark law protecting abortion rights.

January 22, 1973 is the date that most associate with Roe v. Wade. That is the day when Justice Harry Blackmun read a summary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe and that of its companion case, Doe v. Bolton. Every year there are demonstrations in Washington on January 22 to commemorate or protest the Supreme Court’s decision recognizing a woman’s right to an abortion. But there is another date that actually might be far more significant in the history of these decisions: May 25, 1972. That is when these cases should have been decided, and likely were decided, but...

WASHINGTON -- The Republican lawmaker who helped guide the GOP to an expanded majority in the House three years ago warned yesterday that a Supreme Court ruling overturning a woman's legal right to an abortion -- a possibility if the high court shifts further to the right -- could hurt his party's political prospects and cause a ''sea change" in suburban voting habits. Representative Tom Davis of Virginia, who chaired the National Republican Congressional Committee through the 2002 election, said that if the Supreme Court threw out Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that established that abortion rights were...
