abortion; Aristotle thought it less cruel than exposing unwanted infants to the elements. The West has been arguing about this hard moral problem for over 2,000 years. Most Western democracies have found a compromise between the liberal position, held by this newspaper, that the state should not control women’s bodies; and the most conservative position, that any abortion is murder.
By their dereliction, legislators dump big decisions on the justices. As a result Supreme Court confirmations have become trials of strength where the Senate majority holds sway. Donald Trump, who ran on a promise to pick judges explicitly to overturn, further dissolved the idea of judicial independence. All this politicking heaps intolerable pressure on the court.
Three bad outcomes may follow. The justices might find their judgments ignored. An America where the rule of law was weakened would be less free and more dysfunctional. If the court loses its ability to be the decider of last resort, the role asked of it in the presidential election in 2000—and again in 2020—it could lose its ability to settle disputes peacefully.
They will find it difficult to change their opinion now it has been leaked. Hence the leak.
Let’s hope this unfettered slaughter can be tempered some what, any procedure should be done in a hospital, the patient should have all the information, family involvement mandatory, no taxpayer money, you decide you pay, abortion butchers go home, streamline adoption 🤔
Prosecute baby murderers!
Hast thou labored in vain have I spent my strength for nought? Surely it is a light thing to preserve in an acceptable time
Question!! Why the Supreme Court has a SAYING & NOT the American woman!? Pity. Thanks.

The Court appears to be returning the issue to the states (ie the people) rather than have 9 people decide for the entire country.
Fire all media personnel
Maybe congress is where we need term limits? They have been remarkably unable to enact laws. Immigration, abortion, tax reform, border security-why can’t they do their job?
Yes
Get some new judges.😊
They already have a term limit. 1 term of lifetime duration.
Supreme Court Justices serve lifetime appointments on the Court to prevent corruption and pressure from biased groups.
Congress first
No. Your harmful ideology is loosing. Deal with it.
Not sure I am following this type of logic.
And if it happens, it will very bad to US democracy. That's exactly what has been happening in Brazil, and guys, it is a shame, a truly institutional mess.
Very easy. A quick abortion for barack obama 🫃🏾
The Justices' job is to do their jobs, not to restrain themselves.
The court did that when they legislated abortion 50 or so years ago.
Who even reads the economist anymore😂
They are intended to be an (almost) all-powerful unelected chamber. Have you read the constitution?
Uhm, haven't they already?
Then we, the people, should rise up.
Judicial activism has been a problem for decades, but now it is finally touching home. The idea that the judiciary is a farce given the battle between the two parties to gain control of various benches. The media usually notes if it was an Obama, Bush, Trump appointee etc,so,yea
You opinion is like toilet paper 🧻
The people are willing to live with unpopular decisions based on the American Constitution. We are not willing to accept decisions based on the religious doctrine of five zealots.
We can abandon the USSupremeCourt if they take away our rights.
All I hear is Blah Blah Blah
Yes, giving power to states and their elected officials really does that. 🤦♂️
Don’t think it needs saving…unless ya don’t agree with its decision n that’s why ya think it needs saving?
You mean save its self from fascist democrats
They’re undoing the knot from 1973.
The well-to-do will continue to have access. It's the poor & oppr women who will continue to suffer. It's an auth move to suppr the poor, achv two outcomes: weaken demcrcy by discrgng voter part & cling on to pwr in spite of ⬆️anti-gop demographcs, imo
show the flies the shift so they come
No. They enforce the laws and the constitution as written. It was the opinion of one of those judges that the ruling on the case Roe Vs Wade was fragile and the Democrats did nothing to strengthen that law for decades. They had multiple opportunities and did nothing.
Abolishing the Supreme court
'If the Justices cut through legislative knots will they transform themselves into unelected Third Chamber power?'
Prosecute baby murderers!
Congress needs to pass a constitutional amendment... That means everyone has got to give in to the others side!
They always were politicians in robes and now the Court is packed with Koch funded justices who will fulfil the grim social vision, driven by unbridled greed, of their paymasters. The oligarchy now owns at least two and practically 3 branches of US government.
It did that in 1973, to reverse it now would reverse the Court playing the role of the legislative branch.
What's this 'IF' shit? They have been doing that for the last 55 years. It's just that now you disagree with ONE decision...and your whole world collapsed.
It literally is the third branch of government? Did high school lie to me? Legislative, Executive, Judicial.
We voted for this in 2016
Welcome to the new confederacy. Brought to you by the FederalistSociety
Statements like this suggests that whoever made them does not understand the checks and balances between our three branches of government.
The most explosive decision since Dred Scott ensured the American Civil War.
Prosecute baby murderers!
The economist is among those who want to bring down the supreme count, and it’s talking about saving it?
Re: The judges may change their mind or temper their arguments before the final opinion on abortion is issued. Even so, the Supreme Court is poised to reopen some of the most contentious questions in American public life
SCOTUS has as much credibility as all things perverted by Trump's GOP Thomas is an active seditionist and five lied during their confirmation hearings Unless there's impeachment, zero respect for this corrupt bastion of evil currently butchering the spirit of our Constitution
Why? This is wildly unpopular.
This was never closed. Medical evidence continues to show the undeniable humanity of babies in the womb. Yet we dismember, decapitate, and stop the hearts of unborn babies, and clean the horror up with the word “abortion.” Our permissive laws keep China and North Korea company.
Not the way half of the folks want It!
Abortion disproportionately harms unborn humans.

When the investigation is over and they find out Alito did this to make sure no changes would be made to it exactly what do you think they will do. Nothing, because they will just wait for everyone to forget about it.
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Powerful image
'In Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany and Japan, legislatures have allowed abortion early in pregnancy and made it illegal later.' It was not done legislatively in the US; that's the problem. Congress does not have the authority to legislate. So it is up to the states.

Prosecute baby murderers!

It broke in 2000.
Been broken since 2000, if not earlier. Nice of you to notice.

It's broken. It has been broken. Deeply. It's time for the 'moderates' to wake up to reality.
here's threatening SCOTUS from the comfort of the city of london
WE NEED 30 AN HOUR MINIMUM WAGE.
it is because previously lefties judges screw up common sense and morality?

To avoid breaking the federative pact, judges must continue and restore order, returning the usurped powers of states to decide on the murder of babies
Whole system , democracy & capitalism, is collapsing
It’s probably beyond the Economist in 2022, but it’s not the NINE justices who need to restrain themselves. It’s the 5 Super Conservatives, who seem determined to blow up Stare Decisis and recast the U.S. in an ideological mode to their liking.
'Precious institution' Keep your religious bullshit to yourself.
Wish you printed this 50 some years ago before Roe v Wade was decided.
shouldn't they have restrained themselves when they legislated from the bench?
The court cannot be saved, this is a secretive cabal of (currently) 9 individuals with lifetime appointments, no ethics constraints, closed debates, most of which were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote and some who were under clouds of sexual assault accusations
insane system of electing the justices...too political...
