It may just be morning in America — that was the overwhelming feeling as I stood outside the Supreme Court with the sun warming us on as oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Mississippi abortion case, were to be heard. For those of us who are outside the Court every January marking with sorrow the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, hope was palpable.
If Roe is overturned, that will not be the end of abortion in America, but states including Mississippi and Texas will all but ban it. Roe was overreach by the Court — doing what legislatures should do, based on all kinds of faulty and outdated facts. The bad science of Roe and its cruel abortion regime were emphasized by the presence of more than 100 doctors and other medical professionals outside the Court. If you were a speaker at the rally, as I was, when you checked in, you met a receiving line of doctors in lab coats encouraging us to persevere and urging the Court to end Roe. Doctors know the violence that abortion does to a woman and her child.
