US Supreme Court overturns constitutional right to abortion

 

The US Supreme Court on Friday terminated the right to abortion in a seismic ruling.

The conservative-dominated court overturned the landmark 1973 “Roe v Wade” decision that enshrined a woman’s right to an abortion, saying that individual states can now permit or restrict the procedure themselves.

“The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,” the court said.

In the majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito said “abortion presents a profound moral issue on which Americans hold sharply conflicting views.

 

“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” he said.
