Angry mobs of protesters and the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh weren’t enough to intimidate the Supreme Court, which has just issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization:
Emily Miller (@emilymiller) ~ SUPREME COURT:
“Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives”
The federal government giving the power to legislate back to the states? What a novel idea!
Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) ~ 6-3. How about them apples?
We like them apples. We like them very much.
Emily Zanotti (@emzanotti) ~ “We end this opinion where we began. 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 that authority to the people and their elected representatives.” ~ Justice Samuel Alito writing for the majority.
Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) ~ Roberts: "I agree with the Court that the viability line established by Roe and Casey should be discarded under a straightforward stare decisis analysis. That line never made any sense."
Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) ~ This is a tremendous day for human rights in America. It is a victory for kindness, decency, humanity, and a defeat for cruelty.
Of course, we should all be bracing for the inevitable meltdowns. Pregnancy crisis centers and pro-life activists and conservative Supreme Court Justices should also be beefing up security one hundredfold.
Seriously, pray for all those who now have targets on their backs for believing in the right to life.
Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) ~ Pray for our country today.
Pray for the safety of pro-life activists on the hill.
Pray for the strength and wisdom of our leaders as they work to stop leftwing violence and prevent the left from achieving their openly-stated mission of dismantling our sacred institutions.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
