The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.
Justice Samuel Alito is absolutely correct when he writes that Roe v. Wade was wrong from the start because it absolutely was. America is a nation comprised of states who enact laws based on the will of the people, and abortion is something that should be decided by the people and not by the Federal government. Today a leaked, (and you can certainly guess who leaked it), draft opinion shows that the Supreme Court will vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Now let the burnings, riots and looting begin!
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJB)
Abortion should not be the main issue in the life of a born again Bible believer, there are many more important things than that from an eternal perspective. I mean, the people you see picketing the abortion clinics are rarely, if ever, telling lost people how to get saved. Why is that? It's because the religious right uses abortion as a fundraising tool, and it has become a rallying cry for the Evangelicals who frequent the One World Religion gathering known as the National Day of Prayer. Go watch "The Family" on Netflix to see what I mean. That said, I will be quite happy if Roe v. Wade really does get struck down, just prepare yourself for the Liberal freakshow that's coming. It's gonna be a doozy.
Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v Wade abortion rights, draft opinion shows
FROM 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.”
Deliberations on controversial cases have in the past been fluid. Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. 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.” - Justice Samuel Alito in an initial draft majority opinion
The immediate impact of the ruling as drafted in February would be to end a half-century guarantee of federal constitutional protection of abortion rights and allow each state to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion. It’s unclear if there have been subsequent changes to the draft. No draft decision in the modern history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still pending. The unprecedented revelation is bound to intensify the debate over what was already the most controversial case on the docket this term.
The draft opinion offers an extraordinary window into the justices’ deliberations in one of the most consequential cases before the court in the last five decades. Some court-watchers predicted that the conservative majority would slice away at abortion rights without flatly overturning a 49-year-old precedent. The draft shows that the court is looking to reject Roe’s logic and legal protections.
A person familiar with the court’s deliberations said that four of the other Republican-appointed justices – Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett – had voted with Alito in the conference held among the justices after hearing oral arguments in December, and that line-up remains unchanged as of this week.
