Overturning Roe Would Be Just the Beginning

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Nevertheless, the oral-argument transcript suggests that the five-justice majority is likely ready to find even these minimal constraints on gun ownership incompatible with the Founders' original meaning.
57% : The other may settle, by flat-out rejection, the fate of affirmative action in higher education, which has occupied the Court in a profoundly important series of nuanced rulings since the 1970s.
56% : And they have so far been regarded as in line with the 2008 Heller decision, which stated that the Second Amendment does not allow a person to "keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
53% : Indeed, the greatest threat posed by the new majority involves not eliminating individual rights but elevating newly expanded rights so that they are free from government action, and narrowly reading or invalidating existing remedial statutes, thus impairing the ability of government at both the state and federal levels to function and meet the needs of our challenging times.
50% : The opinion emphatically asserts that abortion is different because another life is involved.
42% : The plurality opinion of three Republican-appointed justices in Casey reaffirmed the constitutional right to abortion as a form of liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment's language, which says that no person shall be "deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law."
35% : Jessica Bruder: The future of abortion in a post-Roe America
31% : Justice Alito's leaked opinion, on behalf of five justices, exemplifies this latter approach -- because no right of abortion is specifically mentioned in the Constitution, the argument goes, the Supreme Court's recognition of such a right cannot possibly be proper.
28% : He does that by rewriting the history of abortion that he says was misstated in Roe, and concluding that a right to abortion is not essential to our nation's scheme of ordered liberty and thus cannot be protected under the decisions that recognized liberty interests protected under the due-process clause.
