From Big Tent Democrat:
Of special interest in today’s SCOTUS decision upholding a late term abortion ban is that the mantra “leave abortion to the States” has been utterly abandoned by the Republican Party and anti-choice forces. This is a federal ban. This line from Justice Thomas’ concurrence is ironic:
I also note that whether the Act constitutes a legitimate exercise of the Congress’ Commerce Power is not before the Court.
For those of you who might have thought the conservative Justices were conceding the point.
