    Right, that was the talking point, and that was smart to stick to that. Because it sounds like an answer to the question, but it doesn’t nail down specifics that can be used in attack ads from the right or the left.

    Roe V Wade was a court decision that was interpreted and modified through a long history of court decisions. It’s not one set of rights and restrictions.

    Here’s an excellent, in-depth summary of all of the relevant court cases that led to the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Org ruling:

    To codify Roe V Wade into law would require a constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion. Anything less will be challenged in court, and unless we can impeach some illegitimate Justices, the SCOTUS is going to continue to push their radical agenda against women.

      Or we could hit a double whammy of strengthining your right to privacy such that any anti abortion or anti trans care law becomes impossible to impose.
