Ohio Pro-Life Movement: State Courts Can’t Stop Fight

On June 24 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its most consequential decision in decades when it overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Writing for the majority in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, Justice Samuel Alito stated clearly and unequivocally what honest legal scholars have been saying for 49 years: “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences.”

The damaging consequences that Justice Alito is referring to include, first and foremost, the slaughter of more than 63 million tiny human beings in the womb since Roe was decided in 1973. Saint Theresa of Calcutta did not mince words in her condemnation of this blight on the American judicial landscape when she once noted that the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe had “deformed a great nation.”
