In the matter of Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the United States Supreme Court today “issued its long-awaited, and previously leaked opinion, overturning Roe v Wade — effectively ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and giving individual states the power to regulate and restrict the practice.

Along with posting a 2:44-minute video featuring an interview with Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley, Fox News Channel reported Adam Shaw expanded upon “10 key quotes from Justice Alito’s opinion overturning Roe v Wade ….

[1] Alito details how abortion was viewed pre-Roe ….

[2] Roe ‘egregiously wrong,’ deepened division ….

[3] Alito on confusion over what the 14th Amendment protects ….

[4] Alito dismisses claim decision will lead to reversals on same-sex marriage, conception ….

[5] Court not allowed to impose its own ‘theory of life’ on the nation ….

[6] Alito says Roe decision ‘usurped’ power ….

[7] Roe ‘relies on an erroneous historical narrative’ ….

[8] Alito emphasizes democratic consequences of Dobbs ….

[9] Alito says he does not know how the US will respond to Dobbs ….

[10] The opinion concludes.

‘Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.’
