More than 200 Republicans in Congress want Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade

Most Republicans in Congress want the Supreme Court to make abortion illegal as it prepares to hear its first major case on the issue since President Trump appointed two conservative justices to the bench.

More than 200 members of the Senate and House of Representatives - all but two of them Republicans - want the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 decision which made abortion legal in the United States.

Thirty-nine senators and 168 House members submitted an amicus brief to the court as it prepares to hear the case of June Medical Services LLC v. Gee.

The case is an appeal filed by a Louisiana clinic challenging a state law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.

well it should be overturned. It was based on lies and the woman did not want it turned out the way it did.

The entire vaccine industry is dependent on those fetal tissues to grow viruses.

It has served as a population control tool extremely well and middle class Caucasian people have slowed their birth rates a lot because of abortion.

The elites can never give up abortion and they control the US Government completely.

Go back to pre 1973. Abortions were available and legal in most states, with restrictions that made it safe, where it was available. In Maryland, all it took was 2 doctors that would sign off on the procedure to protect the health of the "mother," and that could include both physical and mental health. Most were performed to protect mental health and were signed of by psychiatrists in Maryland. Then the abortion had to be performed in a hospital by a doctor, and was covered by insurance, if the patient was covered. I'm getting on in my years, and I have first hand knowledge of what I am saying.

Or, one from Maryland could take a drive over to Washington DC, and get an abortion for $300 in a clinic, no questions asked.

Every state had their own laws, concerning abortions, enacted by elected representatives that reflected the will of the people of that state. Roe v Wade was a SCOTUS mistake (yes they make them). It has caused a division of our country and cost millions of unborn lives, especially the "partial birth" abortions that Roe v Wade made legal by virtue of some convoluted right. It was, and should be, a state and their citizens right to determine the laws and accessibility to abortion. The law was fine before SCOTUS stepped in with their convoluted interpretation of a right found nowhere in the constitution. SCOTUS, back then, just made up the right to an abortion that states had to comply with. That's right, they just made it up from the bench. It is long overdue to fix their mistake that has so violently divided this country for over fifty years. I hope to see it before I die.

But Republicans control 1/2 of Congress, the most powerful half....and the White House, and conservatives are in the lead in SCOTUS. What's your point? Get mine?
