The U.S. Supreme Court has finally overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that federally legalized abortion throughout the entire country, now upholding a Mississippi law banning the procedure beyond 15 weeks of pregnancy. All fifty states will now have the right to make their own decision as to how they wish to handle the killing of babies.
The decision to overturn the 49-year-old law was handed down weeks after a draft version of the opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked to Politico – sparking outrage and protests across the country and illegal protests outside the homes of conservative Justices, that went unpunished and actually supported by the Biden administration.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito wrote in that leaked decision, adding that “its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences.”
And he is absolutely correct in his opinion, in mine.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett joined in Alito's opinion.
Democrat-appointed Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented and are in favor of infanticide when it's a case of rape, incest, or just as birth control.
While recent polling has found the majority of Americans wanted Roe v. Wade to be upheld, particularly by those people who don't understand that it is now a state's decision to handle, it will now allow 22 states to implement abortion restrictions that the majority of their voters want.
Those states include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Recent polling has found the majority of non-aborted Americans wanted Roe v. Wade to be upheld.
Ahead of the decision, Democrats in Congress attempted to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law, but the bill failed to clear a test vote in the evenly split Senate, only garnering 49 votes last month.

Now we can expect violent protests and the lives of conservative justices to be in danger by those who want the right to kill the unborn and even the newly born.
