Thank you Supreme Court!

Abortion laws will be decided in State Capitols

In 1973, Roe v Wade was wrongly decided by the Court, as the right to an abortion was wholly contrived by activist judges. The Dobbs decision rightfully returns this question to the states. Interestingly, with Democrats holding a 60-vote supermajority in the Senate and a substantial majority in the House in 2010, they never attempted to codify Roe into federal law, leaving the Court with no other choice but to return the issue to the states. If the left wants to blame anyone for today's ruling, they should look House Speaker Nancy Pelosi squarely in the eye, and ask, 'Why didn't you try to put it into federal law?' The only thing for the Court to consider were state laws, and what the limit to those are. In this case, with a solid 6-3 ruling, the Court ruled that states are where the question shall remain for the next generation to be regulated or prohibited. Suddenly state legislature and gubernatorial races just became a lot more interesting as abortion laws will be decided in State Capitols.

“In 1973, Roe v Wade was wrongly decided by the Court, as the right to an abortion wholly contrived by activist judges. The Dobbs decisions rightfully returns this question to the states. Interestingly, with Democrats holding a 60-vote majority in the Senate and a substantial majority in the House in 2010, they never attempted to codify Roe into federal law, leaving the Court with no other choice but to return the issue to the states. If the left wants to blame anyone for today’s, they should look to Speaker Nancy Pelosi squarely in the eye, ‘Why didn’t you try to put it into federal law?’ The only thing for the Court to consider were state laws, and what the limit to those are. In this case, with a solid 6-3 ruling, the Court ruled that’s states is where the issue will remain for the next generation. Suddenly state legislature and gubernatorial races just became a lot more interesting as abortion laws will be decided in State Capitols.”

Jackson Women’s Health Organization, https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf#page=8 “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. The Court overrules those decisions and returns that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”
