Roe v. Wade is About to Come Down From Constitution

What a day this could be!!  Just imagine the prayers that have been sent to rid this country of the blight of baby killing/child sacrifice!  It appears that it is going to happen as a majority opinion paper from SCOTUS was just leaked yesterday.

A leaked document claims that the Supreme Court voted to strike down the Roe v. Wade decision. 

“ROE V. WADE MUST BE OVERRULED.”

An initial draft majority opinion attributed to Justice Samuel Alito, the document was published in Politico on Monday. 

 “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito wrote. “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision….”

“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” he continued. “Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

If the ruling is handed down, it will place the power to legislate either for or against abortion in the hands of state legislators. In his opinion, Justice Alito lamented that Roe v. Wade stopped that process, shutting down what was, at the time and still is, public debate and the political process concerning the issue in what he called an “exercise of raw judicial power.”

“…It sparked a national controversy that has embittered our political culture for a half-century,” Justice Alito wrote.  “The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions,” he continued. “On the contrary, an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1973.”

The draft opinion runs 98 pages, including a 31-page historical state abortion laws appendix. Politico cited a “person familiar with the court’s deliberations” as stating that four other justices – Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett – voted with Alito after hearing oral arguments in December in Dobbs v. Jackson, which concerns a challenge to Mississippi’s ban on abortion after the 15th week of pregnancy. The Supreme Court ruling is expected to be published until late June.

The disclosure of the document is a breach of Supreme Court secrecy.

Roe v. Wade was the 1973 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. The ruling was revised in the 1992 decision Planned Parenthood v. Casey which abandoned Roe‘s trimester framework in favor of a standard based on fetal viability and overruled the strict scrutiny standard for reviewing abortion restrictions. The ruling has been criticized as being an egregious case of judicial activism. It has also been charged as claiming to be based on constitutionally protected civil rights when it clearly has no basis in the constitution and is not relevant to civil rights.

In the words of Justice Alito, the two decisions represented “an error that cannot be allowed to stand.”

“Our nation’s historical understanding of ordered liberty does not prevent the people’s elected representatives from deciding how abortion should be regulated,” Alito wrote, adding later, “ We, therefore, hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”

The story’s publication generated outrage among supporters of abortions and led to a cord of protestors gathering outside the Supreme Court Building on Monday night. Some Democrat politicians believe the ruling will galvanize left-wing voters in the upcoming midterm elections.

Of course this wouldn't end abortion in America, but what it would do is allow the states to let their elected officials decide what to do about terminating pregnancies.  So if New York wants to allow it and Oklahoma doesn't then the Supreme court would have nothing to say about either one.  For sure it's going to be a huge step toward slowing down the Satanic killing machines that have sacrificed 74 million babies on the altar of the god of convenience and selfishness.
