Court returns abortion issue to states and Democratic process

 Washington Examiner:

At long last, and as long expected, the Supreme Court has overturned its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. By overturning a decision that was wrong from the beginning — that was, as Justice Samuel Alito put it, “on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided” — the court has ended the pretended constitutional right to abortion asserted almost 50 years ago.

The Roe era will go down in history as a period during which liberal intellectuals attempted to force radical principles on the population by arrogantly thwarting the democratic process on the most divisive moral and cultural issues of the day. It marks an important turning point in the battle over abolishing abortion.

No, this decision does not end abortion — indeed, it marks only the beginning of a much larger political battle over abolition. But it marks an important milestone because, finally, the issue will be settled in the manner in which democracies should settle political issues.

As Justice Brett Kavanaugh noted in his concurrence, “this Court will no longer decide the fundamental question of whether abortion must be allowed throughout the United States through 6 weeks, or 12 weeks, or 15 weeks, or 24 weeks, or some other line. The Court will no longer decide how to evaluate the interests of the pregnant woman and the interests in protecting fetal life throughout pregnancy. Instead, those difficult moral and policy questions will be decided, as the Constitution dictates, by the people and their elected representatives through the constitutional processes of democratic self-government.”

As much lip service as leftists pay nowadays to “our democracy” when they think the idea will benefit them, they do not actually believe in the principles of self-governance and majority rule. Otherwise, they would support this decision. In many states, majorities have already decided to ban abortion altogether. In many, majorities will keep abortion policy just as it is. And in still others, a great political fight is about to begin. In all cases, a democratic process will decide the outcome.

...

I was in law school when Roe was decided as I recall and I remember the law professors questioned the constitutional basis for the decision.  What should be clear now is that state legislatures will make decisions about when and if abortions should be allowed.  All of you former-fetuses out there should be thankful you survived Roe.
