U.S. Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade
Friday, June 24, 2022
Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in Mississippi’s Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health upheld the constitutionality of a pre-viability abortion ban.
Today’s decision overturns the 1973 ruling on Roe vs. Wade, which made abortion legal throughout the nation.
In the majority opinion, the Supreme Court states, ”There is nothing in the Constitution about abortion, and the Constitution does not implicitly protect the right.” The justices also assert that “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives."
