Supreme Court Overrules Roe v. Wade in Dobbs Decision – Returns Abortion to State Lawmakers

WASHINGTON, DC – The Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade on Friday, holding in the Dobbs case that the Constitution does not include a right to abortion and returning the issue of abortion laws and regulations to state legislatures.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the Supreme Court in Friday’s 5-4 [–> 6-3] decision:

>>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 the authority to the people and their elected representatives.>>

Roe was handed down in 1973 in a 7-2 decision, holding that the U.S. Constitution includes a constitutional right to abortion, despite the fact that abortion is not found in the text, structure, or history of the Constitution, and the nation went more than 180 years without ever noticing it existed. It has been one of the most divisive legal issues in American history.

An early draft of Alito’s opinion leaked in May, the first such leak of a full opinion in the 233-year history of the Supreme Court, leading the left to violent protests, including destroying a pro-life center in Wisconsin, vandalizing churches, and threatening protests at the home of conservatives justices in violation of federal law.

These threats have culminated in what was almost an assassination attempt of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which went seemingly unnoticed by President Joe Biden – who did not speak out to condemn it – and has led to rapid action on a new federal law to protect the justices. The court majority evidently stood firm against the threats and public pressure, overruling Roe and the later revision of Roe in 1992, Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

With Roe overruled, the issue of abortion now goes back to the states to pass whatever restrictions on abortions the voters of each state choose to adopt.

This is an issue that pivots on life, the first right, and lurking within is, what is law and what may a civil authority legitimately rule as law. DEVELOPING

“I do not understand you. Who has whose children?” The educational system. Companies like Disney. You get them young and indoctrinate them. Hitler once said something like” you may not like my ideology but it doesn’t matter I have your children”Do not underestimate the power of indoctrination. Indeed when the Allie’s invaded Germany the most rabid defenders were the Hitler youth who got the full Monty of indoctrination. Vividvividbleau

JH at 296, It seems you prefer to ignore facts you don't like. You will defend "women" but not men or unborn human beings. Your worldview prevents you from seeing the scientific facts. I sincerely hope that, at some point, you are persuaded that protecting human life from death is the first consideration.relatd

KF “This is what we have to address and reverse. KF” Correct this is a battle of worldviews and unfortunately our side is losing badly because they have our children. Andrew Breitbart said it well “politics is downstream of culture” The question is what is culture downstream from? It is downstream from worldview, that’s the elephant in the room. Vividvividbleau

FH, perhaps you do not recognise the moral hazard acknowledgement in Descent, http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?itemID=F937.1&viewtype=text&pageseq=1
At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked,16 will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.
This is said without even a by your leave as to how to avert it, it is said in support of why fossils are unlikely. KFkairosfocus

KF: JH, we both know that half the time the unborn child in the womb is not even the same sex as his mother.
Agreed.
We both know that, having human parents, the unborn child is human;
Agreed.
which absent propagandistic distortions immediately leads to recognition of rights starting with life. KF
Ignoring the hyperbolic BS, this is nothing more than an unproven assertion based on your personal opinion. Rights are what we as a society say they are. Hypothetically, if the right to life begins at conception, why don’t we isolate women at the moment of conception to ensure that none of their behaviours can have a negative impact on the fetus? Make them wear red robes and white hats. If a pregnant woman continues to participate in activities that could harm a fetus, why don’t we charge them with negligent homicide when their actions result in the unintentional death of the fetus? When a woman opts for an abortion, why don’t we charge them with premeditated murder, and force them to suffer the consequences which, in many states, is the death penalty? If a woman takes the pill or uses an IUD, and is sexually active, why don’t we charge them with conspiracy to commit murder? We don’t do any of this because we all know, if even subconsciously, that a fetus does not have the same right to life as a living, breathing, feeling, thinking human being does.JHolo

For all of Jholo’s self righteous preening over people of color the abortion rate by black women is 5 times that of white women. Millions upon millions of unborn blacks and an incalculably loss of the potential gifts they could have brought to the world. Some of you may know the name Steph Curry one of the the NBA’s all time greats. His mother was actually at the clinic and changed her mind. How many Steph Curry’s have been aborted? How many Einsteins have been aborted? Vividvividbleau

It seems to me that African slaves were also once considered not to be “human” either, but a prehuman vestige of evolution, an idea later promoted by Charles Darwin in his 1871 book, The Descent of Man.
Nonsense. There's nothing in The Descent of Man that supports slavery. It is mainly about the evolutionary idea of sexual selection. There's plenty to indicate Darwin was abolitionist in his thinking.Fred Hickson

For those who think a pre-born baby is not allowed to live because it has not been born, there is fetal surgery. So no, the surgeons involved are not operating on a space alien but a human being who is still in the womb. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/fetal-surgery/about/pac-20384571 https://thecatholicspirit.com/featured/fetal-surgery-photo-still-making-an-impact/relatd

JH at 285, If you were a fertilized egg, an embryo and fetus, would it be OK to kill you in the womb? What is growing in there? Something non-human? And "The Woman" who is part of the current Marxist Class Warfare against men. Where is the man in all this? He has no say? Is it because he is the enemy? That thing to be avoided except for sex? You have no valid argument. Here's an article about fetal pain: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7350116/ Have you ever seen an ultrasound where they can tell the sex of the baby?relatd
