I want to talk for a moment about the fight for the right to life for the unborn child. 

We are awaiting a Supreme Court decision that will show us whether or not the five “pro life” justices on the Supreme Court will actually do the thing that pro life people put them on the Court to do. Will they overturn Roe? Or, will they issue a decision that keeps Roe in place?

Prognosticators on both sides of the abortion divide expect the Court to punt. The possible decisions that court watchers and political commentators are suggesting all involve a “narrowing” of Pennsylvania v Casey, not an overturn of Roe v Wade. 

They have the votes. Or they should have. It’s as simple as that. The Court can overturn Roe with the case that is in front of it right now. We could have an end to legal abortion in this country before the end of summer. We should have an end to legal abortion before the end of summer. 

Whether or not we will see an end to legal abortion by fall remains to be seen.

I want to see Roe overturned. It could be — it should be — overturned by the end of summer. 

Will it?
