On abortion, House Dems reveal massive constitutional ignorance
By Andrea Widburg
It’s been enjoyable watching the Democrats’ frantic response to the Supreme Court’s abortion decision. That decision did not ban abortion in America, instead returning it to the states where it belongs, but the Democrats’ have decided abortion is indeed dead and the past couple of days have seen two loony, unconstitutional plans for resuscitating it.
The first plan is to pass federal laws legalizing abortion across the nation. Jeff Charles sums up the two Democrat bills this way: “These two bills, if passed by the Senate, would essentially codify Roe into law. It is their second attempt at passing laws that would promote abortion and would even go beyond what Roe allowed.”
Two bills ought to be enough, right? Oh, no. The young leftist guns in the House have an even better idea—pass a law saying that the Supreme Court cannot rule on abortion cases:
A group of House progressives led by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.) called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to strip the Supreme Court of its abortion jurisdiction.
“We write to urge your support for restricting the Supreme Court’s appellate jurisdiction in the areas of abortion, marriage equality, non-procreative intimacy, and contraception,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the congressional leaders.
“In doing so, we can ensure that, as Congress takes legislative action to codify each of these fundamental rights, a radical, restless, and newly constituted majority on the Court cannot further undermine the protections we would enact.”more
