Many smart people are misinformed on what the majority opinion in the Dobbs case held. The Supreme Court did not criminalize abortion. It said nothing about whether the procedure should be legal or not. It merely said that the Court as an institution never should have involved itself in the issue. As such, it returned the issue to the political arena, where it belongs, for the people, through their elected representatives in the statehouses (and perhaps Congress) to decide.

Second, contrary to some commentators on the Left, the Supreme Court did not "go rogue." For years, many liberal commentators, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself prior to joining the court, agreed that Roe was bad law. Alito's well-crafted decision made that clear.

Third, here's a fun fact. For the first two years of Obama's first term, Democrats had a supermajority, filibuster-proof control over Congress. Yet, despite the known threat to Roe at that time, they did not even attempt to pass a law granting a nationwide right to abortion. I suspect this is because Democrats would rather have the threat to abortion access a live issue to use for fundraising purposes and to rile up their base.

Fourth, liberals have ceased to lionize Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was old during Obama’s term, and had several well-publicized health scares. Perhaps her decision to not resign and allow Barack Obama the opportunity to replace her with another liberal justice should be viewed as selfish. Instead, following her death, and days before the 2020 election, President Trump replaced her with Amy Coney Barrett, who was part of the Dobbs majority.

We may have witnessed the most consequential two days in Supreme Court history. In addition to striking down Roe/Casey, the court also greatly expanded gun rights and limited the ability to enforce Miranda rights. No matter what one may think about Donald Trump, his presidency is proving to be perhaps the most highly consequential of any president who served a single four-year term.

The Court removed themselves from the equation and said the issue should be decided at the local level

So now, every State Govt Representative will have to declare a position on abortion and the issue will be decided based on who controls the State House

It will now be a partisan ping pong ball that will switch back and forth depending on the partisan winds

You just described our entire system of governance. It is as it should be.

The people influence their State Houses so that means the matter is squarely in the hands of the people, where it belongs.

For the immediate future that will most likely be the case.

So in other words... pretty much the same as before. Abortion will continue to be used as political ping pong as it was while RvW was still in force.

State Houses couldn’t be trusted to decide the issue of slavery, civil rights, gay marriage

Why should they be trusted with abortion?

For 50 years, the issue was resolved
Now it will bounce back and forth depending on who controls the State House

In fact, they did decide those issues. Some just didn't decide the way you think they should have.

It is absolutely wrong to think that every state and region in the country should be in lockstep with the Northeastern States.

It has never been resolved. I don't understand why you people don't understand that.

Haha - yeah... no it was not.
And you know it.
Every election I can possibly remember - Abortion came up over and over and over.

Abortion is a civil rights matter, as many states will no doubt rule.

Like many other issues such as punishment for burning down businesses.

The corrupted Prog media and the entertainers can start to back off and that will help. The 1800's are not coming back by Republicans. It will be Progs who do it.

Because they know WHY it wasn't resolved.
Democrats had 19 years with a majority and never tried to write it into law to actually resolve it.
They had 2 years with a super majority and a Dem President who would have signed it in a millisecond... but they didn't.
And the reason they didn't is so they could keep using Abortion to scare women into thinking a Republican vote is a vote to ban Abortion.
PERIOD.
The single person who is at "fault" for this happening the most is Nancy Pelosi.

Agreed. They also had the opportunity to amend the Constitution and enshrine abortion into our highest law.

They failed at that too.

Truthfully, for Me, that would be the ONLY legitimate way to make Abortion legal in the entirety of the country. Just passing a Federal law won't cut it. Federal law can be challenged. The bar to challenging an Amendment is nearly insurpassable.

"Roe isn't really about the woman's choice, is it?" Ginsburg told the University of Chicago Law School in May 2013. "It's about the doctor's freedom to practice...it wasn't woman-centered, it was physician-centered."

Once again the far left misses the point..

 

[BlindBoo]

Ladies and old RINO's need to help the Democrats take over enough state governments to pass a new Constitutional Amendment to render the McConnell Sweep ineffective.

Just vote um out. It's the only way to be sure.
