Some Judicial Restraint

Regular listeners of the podcast know that Stephen has called Roe v. Wade “bad law” for years. Even liberal justices such as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg have been critical of the precedents used in the Roe v. Wade ruling. The landmark 1973 case, of course, has just been overturned, and legislative powers regarding abortion have been returned to the individual states where they should have always remained. Amidst the frenzy of public reaction, it’s important to remember that the US has not outlawed abortion. The ruling has simply said that the Constitution provides no guarantee of abortion. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was a good decision and a wonderful restoration of balance in American government.
