OPINION: 'If the [Supreme Court] opts for Alito’s draft, or something close, fasten your seat belts, Ohioans: Your ride to November will be bumpy,' writes columnist Thomas Suddes.

overturning Roe v. Wade, a keystone of abortion rights since 1973, has touched off a national firestorm, assuming the court adopts Justice Samuel Alito’s reasoning, or some version of it. The net effect could be to let each state’s legislature virtually end abortion inside that state.

In Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, Ohio has a right-to-life governor, who has said he’d sign an abortion ban. And given its legislative record, the Ohio General Assembly has a de facto right-to-life majority. At a minimum, Roe v. Wade’s reversal would likely let Ohio’s 2019 heartbeat bill kick in. It forbids an abortion if a fetal heartbeat is detectable.

Alito’s draft stressed that assigning the states full authority over abortion didn’t mean that the high court would also let the 50 states individually decide whether to obey or ignore other Supreme Court opinions. A good example:, the case, originating in Ohio, that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. “Nothing in this [draft] opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,” the Alito draft reads.

That’s why pro-life as well as pro-choice voters should focus on this year’s elections for the Ohio Supreme Court, where lawsuits over any abortion-ban laws would likely end up.

Felony arrest warrant issued for former Seahawks S Earl ThomasEarl Thomas III is facing some serious legal charges in Texas, and this time only days after stating that he hopes to return to the NFL. According to Ryan Autollo of the Austin American Statesman,... I hate that it just says former Seahawk when his last team wasn’t the SEA. Huge example of how a headline make can things worse/shames an entity or person. It should include BAL at least. Shame all to the Seahawks though. Regardless if it’s him in a Raven jersey. Words matter. So much for the come back.
