U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
Friday, June 24, 2022
Indianz.Com
The U.S. Supreme Court has reversed decades of precedent, with a new conservative majority denying women the constitutional right to an abortion.
The majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito. Four of the court’s conservative members joined the decision in which the precedents of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey were explicitly overturned. In the prior cases, the Supreme Court had confirmed the constitutional right to an abortion.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito wrote in the decision. “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely — the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
