If the Supreme Court, as expected, overturns Roe v. Wade later this month, the battle over abortion should return to the states. With Roe’s federal court-imposed national “solution” finally revealed as a fraud and a failure, each state will be free to ban abortion, to enshrine a right to abortion, or to find some middle ground between those two options. Some states already have pro-life or pro-choice amendments in their state constitutions, and some will have them on the ballot this year (or in 2023 or 2024). Others may choose a path on the issue legislatively, or have those choices made for them by state courts.

Or, that’s how it should be, anyway: Senate Democrats and the Biden administration are now openly plotting to undermine those democratic choices if and when the Court overturns Roe.
