is unconstitutional? I can't seem to find where the Constitution gives the power to the Supreme Court to write laws, and that's exactly what the Supreme Court did in Roe vs. Wade, it forced all 50 states to legalize abortion......... Should it be overturned for that reason alone?
Actually here's part of the 10th amendment:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"
Roe vs. Wade took the issue out of the states' hands, and gave it to the federal govt.
"Texas Tornado" You can't make a point so you resort to attacks? Typical of the pro-abortion crowd......
 
more constitutional stuff re: roe versus wade:

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) is a United States Supreme Court case that resulted in a landmark decision regarding abortion.[1] According to the Roe decision, most laws against abortion in the United States violated a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision overturned all state and federal laws outlawing or restricting abortion that were inconsistent with its holdings. Roe v. Wade is one of the most controversial and politically significant cases in U.S. Supreme Court history. Its lesser-known companion case, Doe v. Bolton, was decided at the same time.[2]

Therefore the Supreme court didnt write a law it prevented one that was deemed unconstitutional. they didnt write a law at all, it abolished them..
 
Personally, I think that the Supreme Court overstepped its authority in the case of Roe v. Wade. This is not on the morality of abortion, but that the Supreme Court should not have heard a case involving the power of the state to ban abortions.

If a state enacts a law banning abortion, then it has been done with due process.

Much like the Dred Scott case and Plessy v. Ferguson, I believe that the Court made a bad decision.
