In the wake of Roe v. Wade’s demise, after originalism prevailed and the Supreme Court recognized in last month’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case that indeed the Constitution, American history, and tradition do not support a right to abortion, Washington’s party in power has advanced a flurry of pro-abortion initiatives. But in the…

Pro-abortion activists are angry. They want Democrats in Washington to produce a cohesive plan to limit or overrule the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that undid Roe v. Wade.   Democrats, in turn, are scrambling to do anything they can to extend abortion on demand, which, for nearly 50 years, they could take for granted. Last…

Dick Durbin was the man in charge. It was Jan. 17, 1982, when the Springfield Right to Life Committee held its annual gathering at the Illinois Capitol to protest the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade. As the master of ceremonies that day, Durbin presided over an event that opened with a prayer…

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, there was a shocking (if temporary) turn in the news coverage. The anti-abortion victory was so historic that journalists actually interviewed anti-abortion activists to get their reaction to this glorious news. It was different when some scabrous leaker gave Politico a copy of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft…

In recent remarks on abortion, President Joe Biden sought to pull on Americans’ heartstrings by telling the horrifying story of a pregnant 10-year-old. “Just last week, it was reported that a 10-year-old girl was a rape victim in Ohio—10 years old—and she was forced to have to travel out of the state, to Indiana, to…

Editor's note: The Daily Signal's audience greeted the news of the Supreme Court's overruling of Roe v. Wade with both joy and new resolve. Here's a sampling from the mailbag at [email protected].—Ken McIntyre Dear Daily Signal: In 1980, I was 22, single, and pregnant. I was devastated. My doctor told me to have an abortion. He recommended a…

Are “pro-choice” policymakers really interested in women having choices? A new bill from Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., shows they aren’t. Their target? Life-affirming, community-based pregnancy resource centers. Why target them? The abortion industry and its allies in Congress accuse pregnancy resource centers of being “fake clinics” that “deceive” pregnant women…

One of the central justifications for the left’s proposed court-packing scheme is to claim that the reversal of Roe v. Wade is so radically out of step with the American public that it is an undemocratic, minoritarian power grab. Not only is the argument based on the unconstitutional notion that justices should weigh the vagaries…

This week, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling overdue by some five decades, striking down Roe v. Wade (1973) and its constitutionally unsubstantiated “right to abortion.” Writing for the 6-3 majority in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Justice Samuel Alito stated, “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no…

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, the notorious 1973 decision that wrote abortion rights into law. Critics of the court’s new ruling overlook a crucial fact: By throwing out one of the most anti-democratic court decisions in the past 100 years, the justices have upheld the democratic process. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s…

In the 72 hours since the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling, the Democrats’ hysteria has sucked up most of the oxygen in the room—and that’s just fine with corporate America. While some CEOs have taken their battle stations on the sinking ship of Roe v. Wade, the bigger story might be how many haven’t. It’s been an unusually…
