The Justice Department declined an opening from a Washington, D.C., federal judge to weigh in on whether abortion is constitutionally protected under the 13th Amendment.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton who is presiding over a criminal case, asked parties last month to submit filings on whether the Supreme Court considered the totality of the Constitution in its overturning ofKollar-Kotelly's request was in a case involving anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy, who is charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act by blocking access to an abortion clinic.

Ashley Garecht speaks as anti-abortion protesters rally near a Planned Parenthood clinic in Philadelphia, Friday, May 10, 2019. The demonstration was spurred by the actions of a Democratic state lawmaker who recorded himself berating an anti-abortion demonstrator at length outside the clinic. “The Court need not consider, let alone decide these issues to resolve the pending motion, as doing so is not necessary to answer the straightforward jurisdictional questions before the Court,” attorneys for the DOJ wrote. “Put simply, the Court need not reach whether the Thirteenth Amendment — or any other provision of the Constitution — protects a right to abortion or that Congress had authority under anything other than the Commerce Clause to enact the FACE Act.

In February, the judge asked the DOJ to submit their arguments by March 3 on whether the summer 2022 decision in is confined to the 14th Amendment and"whether, if so, any other provision of the Constitution could confer a right to abortion as an original matter … such thatHandy is among nine others who were charged with obstructing access to a clinic and conspiracy against rights prior to the high court decision.was overruled,"there is no longer a federal constitutional interest to protect, and Congress lacks jurisdiction. For the same reason, the Court here does likewise.
