Abortion has ascended to prominence in modern America’s public debate for bodily autonomy, including the infamous claim over a fundamental “right to privacy.” The act of performing an abortion itself is Constitutionally unsupported; America’s modern determination whether performing an abortion is Constitutionally recognized as a fundamental right has fallen contingent on Judicial Review, and their equivocation of the U.S. Constitution. Supreme Court Justices are not legislators, nor should be tasked as U.S. policymakers; evident problems that persist through erroneous policy are addressed through Congress, or delegated to the States. The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) previously ruled abortion as an inherent right, Roe v. Wade in 1973, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 in 1992, proceeding to overrule their own ruling decades later in 2021’s Dobbs v. Jackson. Modern Americans must question the nature of the Supreme Court’s subjective interpretations deemed objective law; lest the Union of the States fall into monarchy, whereby the interests of Judicial Review supersede the U.S. Constitution itself, catering to selective representation under a loose constructionist rationale. The Supreme Court need only declare what the law is, for they are not lawmakers, nor legislators who draft policy; yet today’s Supreme Court Justices dictate bold Constitutional interpretations and rulings, expanding implied rights to bolster national government power.
