The supreme court majority opinion on the Mississippi abortion case, which was leaked in an unprecedented manner earlier this month, advocates for the return of the constitutional, conservative principles of federalism.
Federalism is the idea that a larger political body is set in place to unite separate states in a way that allows each to maintain its own integrity. Federalism, unlike the invented "right to abortion," is and has always been a constitutional principle. This principle was ignored when the Supreme Court voted in favor of Roe in the 1973 Roe V. Wade decision, and our constitutional order has been in steady decline ever since.
If the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision would not generate any new mandate or law. It would not coerce any party into some form of legal submission. And most importantly, it would not sway from any set constitutional principle. Instead, it would simply return the decision of abortion, a decision of life vs. death, back to the states.
As it turns out, the issue of abortion is not as clear as the Supreme Court once thought it to be. And even though what is morally right is not always the same as what is popular belief, the "popular belief" or democratic opinion of U.S. citizens speaks to the absurdity of the revived leftist push to legalize abortion on a federal level.
According to a recent survey conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, 73% of voters agree that an unborn baby is a human baby, and support serious (if not total) restrictions on abortion.
