The fight, however, is not over. While legal opinions vary, it appears that today’s ruling will lead to abortion restrictions of varying degrees in 20 states with perhaps 10 more poised to do the same. This leaves at least 20 states where abortion will remain, by and large, freely available. Undoubtedly, pro-abortion activists and politicians will move to expand abortion access on a state-by-state basis. There are even calls for the federal government to step in and curtail the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs. Today is a day for thanksgiving to God, but not at the expense of remaining vigilant in prayer and Catholic action for the protection of life in service to Christ the King.
THIS^^^. While many states are restricting abortions, others are expanding it, and we see many large corporations now funding travel for abortions and and calls for abortion clinics to be set up in anti-abortion states on federal property.
And I foresaw precisely this when I criticized the wording and the reasoning behind the Dobbs ruling. It actually makes it much more difficult now to restrict abortion nationwide. What it needed to do was to affirm a Constitutional Right to Life that cannot be legislated away by states ... but instead it did the opposite, strongly implying that pre-born babies are not "life" but are in some other category (a "moral" issue rather than one of natural law).
