...it 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 the federal govt.
To one answerer: When did the American public say they wanted abortion? Was there a nationwide vote? ;)
 
Yes. Whether or not one supports a so-called 'right' to abortion, it isn't in the Constitution. Talk of 'penumbras and emanations' is the vocabulary of spiritualists, not jurisprudence. If abortion is to be governed at all, the Tenth Amendment reserves that power to the states.
