The Supreme Cort building in Washington on March 11. By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 22 at 2:55 PM In his final debate with Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump was asked whether he wanted to see Roe v. Wade overturned. “Well, if we put another two or perhaps three justices on, that’s really what’s going to be — that will happen,” he said.
Mississippi’s new restrictions are part of a reinvigorated nationwide effort to limit access to abortion, propelled by Republican-dominated state legislatures and an increasingly conservative Supreme Court. This year alone, at least 11 states have introduced “heartbeat bills,” including Texas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Missouri — some of the country’s most populous states.
And there is no doubt that overturning Roe, which is one of the core goals of the Republican Party, would be a political catastrophe. Around two-thirds of the American public opposes overturning the decision, and few things would motivate Democrats to get out to the polls more than the court finally doing what liberals have warned against for years.
And Roberts is fine with TRAP laws. In 2016, when there was still a pro-abortion-rights majority on the court, he dissented in a case where the court struck down a Texas TRAP law that required abortion clinics to meet a long list of requirements, including things such as having 8-foot-wide hallways so two gurneys could pass by one another, as though it were a hospital emergency room. Few clinics could meet the standards — none of which had any rational connection to protecting women’s health.
Yes!!!! best news
We must stop them no matter the cost.
The law is crap and getting worse with last minute abortions. The courts use some garbage logic to say it wasn't a person. However for inheritance purposes life is at conception. How can one law dehumanize and the other not.

If the Supreme Court expressly forbids via the Lemon Test ANY STATE ACTION which is advancing a RELIGIOUS MANDATE, how can the Supreme Court “undo” or “revoke” SECULAR PRIVACY RIGHTS (Abortion) without becoming unnecessarily ENTANGLED with RELIGION?
Tell us, WP, how “could” the Supreme Court “overturn” Roe’s delineation of SECULAR RIGHTS on RELIGIOUS GROUNDS without VIOLATING their own enumerated LEMON TEST? Think about it.
When are the people going to wake up the REPUBLICANS DON'T WORK FOR THEM OR EVEN CARE ABOUT THEM ..THEY CARE ABOUT POWER , .......YOU WILL GO BANKRUPT WITH TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS ...VoteBlue
As lefty pushes for after birth murder
Good
I remember when N.Y. was only stare you could get a legal abortion in continental US. Sad days
I hope they realize, which they probably don't, that if Roe v Wade is ever overturned by SCOTUS, abortion simply becomes an individual states issue, and since not all states would ban abortion (mine wouldn't), there will always be someplace to go get one if you need or want one.
When dems are taking a baby just born & killing it . That not roe v wade , thats murder & somebody needs to do something about it. U ppl r sic
No shit. Maybe you should put “breaking news” next to this.
It was based on a lie, after all. Not to mention all the precious children lost in its wake.
FAKE NEWS
But so what. Then the issue would go back to the states where probably 40 would say it’s okay under most circumstances.
'There was no collusion with Russia, so quick, let's scare women!'
finally true justice
Like with Obamacare, the main street GOP just wants to fundraised and campaign it. It offer no solution and ramifications that overturning Roe vs Wade will ensure.
2. When women are back to back alleys and accidentally committing suicide the Republicans can go to the same hell they're trying to save those very lives from that could be used for war instead. Or embryonic stem cell research. Or Soylent Green. Ok I got bored. Bye.
Good!! We need to stop because it's led to violence in our society. Mother Teresa's '94 insight, 'Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
Make America great again, more conservatives on the court.
How Dictatorial. In the land of the “Free”? NO Free Choice There! Bloody Disgraceful. Telling a woman what she should and can’t do with her body. It’s 2019 FFS! Also with Euthanasia. Given strong safeguards, let people make Their Own choice!
1. Trying to get rape victims to come forward, the only time I agree with abortion and not as a contraceptive but shouldn't be up to men/government anyhow, w/ its lack of Sep. Of Church'n'state, would take much longer than 6 weeks. Some support system thereby is necessary. PP?
The Democrat Party is the party of late-term abortion, infanticide and illegal immigration
Democrats are trying to kill infants born! Time to bring a reckoning down on those who murder the most innocent!
It should be reversed it was based on a lie she never got raped
No they don’t 🙄🤥 yawn
No collusion admit it. Don't distract your low intelligence voters please and thank you.
Which would only turn the decision to the state level. Quit overplaying this.
It ain't about women's health, it's about all the sex you want with none of the consequences. Liberal men been knowing this for years and pushing this Bullshit on the American people about a woman's right or her health. Killing a baby is murder
Beautiful!
What nonsense! Those justices aren't some feeble children who can be pushed. You're hallucinating again.
Roe was a garbage activist tyrant ruling in the first place, based on a lie.
They are going to overturn Roe. A national political divorce allows normal people to not have to worry about what five Republican sociopaths masquerading as judges do.
There can be no equality where control over one's own body is denied. Such a move strips women of all power. Exactly as men desire.
😁
I really don’t think they are, if Democrats has any sense they would compromise on 3rd trimester abortions.
I hope they at least ban abortion after 12 weeks.
Abortion is murder.
They know perfectly well that depriving women of life, liberty and the ability to have control of their futures will be unpopular once red-state women realize that they are being sold on the idea that sexual slavery is a Republican policy.
