<\/p>\r\nThe U.S. Supreme Court has reversed decades of precedent, with a new conservative majority denying women the constitutional right to an abortion.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nThe 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<\/em> and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey<\/em> were explicitly overturned. In the prior cases, the Supreme Court had confirmed the constitutional right to an abortion.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n“We hold that Roe<\/em> and Casey<\/em> 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<\/em> and Casey<\/em> now chiefly rely — the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”\r\n

<\/P>\r\nThe 6 to 3 outcome in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em> confirms the draft opinion that was leaked<\/a> in early May. The lineup and the outcome of the decision were previewed in the unprecedented disclosure.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nJoining Alito in overturning the constitutional right to an abortion, in order of seniority, are Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. All were nominated to the Supreme Court by Republican presidents — three of them since 2017, long after Roe<\/em> and Casey<\/em> were decided.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nWith the majority ruling, the Supreme Court is confirming the authority of state governments to determine the manner in which they can regulate a woman’s right to obtain medical services of her choosing.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people\u2019s elected representatives,” Alito wrote in the opinion, which runs 79 pages. Two appendices bring the majority document to 108 pages<\/a>.\r\n
