Trump-Nominated Justices Help Deliver Biggest Pro-Life Win in American History
In the midst of extraordinary tumult over the issue of abortion, the Supreme Court has finally issued a decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and simultaneously overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the two cases that established and maintained abortion as a right in the United States.
“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 decision, written by Justice Samuel Alito declared.
Even before the 6-3 decision was made, the Dobbs’ case was set to be a historic one since it directly brought into question the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision as well as the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey ruling, Supreme Court precedents that created, then reaffirmed, the right to abortion.
The decision will amount to one of the lasting legacies of the former President Donald Trump, who nominated three of the justices who made up the majority — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barret.
Alito’s opinion was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett. Thomas and Kavanaugh also filed concurring opinions, along with Chief Justice John Roberts.
The court’s liberal wing, Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonya Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented.
In an occasionally mocking tone, the dissent called the decision “catastrophic.”
“Today’s decision strips women of agency over what even the majority agrees is a contested and contestable moral issue. It forces her to carry out the State’s will, whatever the circumstances and whatever the harm it will wreak on her and her family,” the dissent states.
But the decision makes the constitutional heart of the matter clear.
“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” Alito wrote.
Pro-life advocates hailed the decision.
