GOP Can't Make Up Its Mind About Abortion
By Brian C. Joondeph
Abortion has been a divisive issue in the U.S. ever since the Supreme Court, in an act of legislating from the bench, somehow found in the Constitution a “right” to abortion.
Even liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg criticized this decision:
Ginsburg, who died in 2020, criticized the 7-to-2 decision both before and after she joined the high court. She argued that it would have been better to take a more incremental approach to legalizing abortion, rather than the nationwide ruling in Roe that invalidated dozens of state antiabortion laws.
Instead, the Roe decision, 50 years ago, went against the Tenth Amendment as abortion was not mentioned in the Constitution:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court set the record straight in the Dobbs ruling, returning the decision to the states via their people or elected representatives,
The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey are overruled; the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.
