They didn't stay the law going into effect...that means they will overturn Roe. Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #7
No. It most certainly does not FBaggins Sep 2021 #8
Roe vs. Wade is still law in the USA . . .. Lovie777 Sep 2021 #2
Clearly Roe has little influence at the moment and will be overruled. Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #6
It is immediate...within the year I expect Roe will be overturned. SCOTUS signaled this. Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #5

In no sense did they “overrule“ Roe. All they did was fail to respond to an emergency appeal before a law went into effect. They didn’t even reject it… they just haven’t responded. That could happen at any point.

And even if they did respond this morning with a rejection… the emergency request has nothing to do with the merits of the case. No court has ruled on the law itself. That, too, could happen at any time.

Still… even the majority makes clear that the decision has nothing to do with the constitutionality of the law itself and is based on the fact that none of the people being sued can enforce the law (and thus cannot be ordered not to enforce the law)

It’s pretty clear that the law will be put on hold as soon as the first real case is filed

It didn't have to happen. I hope after this Democrats will vote blue no matter who and will participate fully in mid-terms.

In fact - they explicitly said so.

I’m sure that Roe will be narrowed in a year or two, but not enough for this Law to survive long-term

Women will die and birth control is next. Already in Ohio certain forms of birth control are banned.
