It did not categorically say that the federal government, in pursuit of its acknowledged grant of power, could not continue to enforce federal law.
Yeesh. People need to read the opinions carefully, and not the opinion they wish had been written instead.
Tell me what I am missing:
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health
Organization, which overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v.
Casey and
held that there is no constitutional right to abortion. (For more detail on the Dobbs decision
and its impact, see this CRS Legal Sidebar.)
The Dobbs majority emphasized that its ruling would “return
the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” and that those elected officials—not the
courts—would “decid[e] how abortion should be regulated.” Although existing federal laws prohibit
certain abortion procedures and protect individuals obtaining reproductive health services from
intimidation, most abortion-related matters are regulated at the state level. After Dobbs, such state
abortion regulations will generally be sustained by federal courts so long as they have a rational basis.
(For more information on current state abortion restrictions, see this CRS Legal Sidebar.)
Seems pretty clear that this is not a Federal issue, but stictly a sate one.
