OA593: Roe Was Never About a 'Right to Abortion'

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>It is absurd to say "point to where in the Constitution it says you have a right to an abortion." Legally speaking, there's something a lot deeper and more basic going on. As we all already know, this leaked decision makes a mockery of the law. Andrew has some further deep-diving for us on how the court, a mere 20 years ago, ruled in the opposite direction on similar legal questions. Many of the same Justices were a part of that ruling. Listen and learn!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Links: <a href= "https://www.supremecourt.gov/publicinfo/press/pressreleases/pr_05-03-22"> Court press release</a>, <a href= "https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21835435/scotus-initial-draft.pdf"> Draft Dobbs opinion</a>, <a href= "https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/abortion-policy-absence-roe"> Abortion Policy in the Absence of Roe | Guttmacher Institute</a>, <a href= "https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/supreme-court/2019/114153.html"> Hodes & Nauser v.
