Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, ending right to abortion upheld for decades
The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the constitutional right to an abortion, reversing Roe v. Wade, the court's five-decade-old decision that guaranteed a woman's right to obtain an abortion.
Hasnain says:
This is the worst timeline. A fully corrupt Supreme Court doing whatever it can without any regard for the rights of millions of Americans; or even the appearance of self consistency. It’s so blatant.
Yesterday; NY’s ban on concealed carry was repealed because it’s too important to leave to the states (among other arguments); today, abortion was “left up to the states”.
“Writing for the court majority, Justice Samuel Alito said that the 1973 Roe ruling and repeated subsequent high court decisions reaffirming Roe "must be overruled" because they were "egregiously wrong," the arguments "exceptionally weak" and so "damaging" that they amounted to "an abuse of judicial authority."
The decision, most of which was leaked in early May, means that abortion rights will be rolled back in nearly half of the states immediately, with more restrictions likely to follow. For all practical purposes, abortion will not be available in large swaths of the country. The decision may well mean too that the court itself, as well as the abortion question, will become a focal point in the upcoming fall elections and in the fall and thereafter.”
