Let’s get all the caveats out. This is a draft. Everything could change. However, it’s certainly looking like 50 years of tireless efforts by pro-life advocates is going to result in the overturning of the notorious Roe v. Wade.
The draft was written by Alito. (Not Roberts)
Politico:
The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Wow. Just wow.
This was quite likely leaked by some pro-abortion lefty looking to gin up outrage. I can’t even imagine what CNN,MSNBC, and mainstream media newsrooms are doing right now.
This is a victory. A great victory. But this is where the battle starts. It just begins when the court’s ruling passes. Every state will finally get to have a say. Finally, the horrific ruling that stifled debate about life in this country can be had.
The pro-life movement has its work cut out. Now let’s get to it.
Say, what will I do with myself every January 22nd instead of Marching with a few hundred thousand others for life.
