re: #43 Dangerman

Someone will have to explain how codifying into law would work.

scotus just said there’s no right so wouldnt they declare any law unconstitutional?

After all , they are the court

The decision says there is no constitutional right to abortion. That just means that states (and the federal government, for that matter) will no longer have abortion restrictions struck down in court on the basis that the Constitution guarantees abortion access. In effect, it throws the question of abortion to the legislatures, state and federal.

A federal statute requiring states to allow abortions would be unaffected. Unless states found a basis, presumably a constitutional basis, why such a statute was improper and got a federal court to strike it down.
