Yes, The Alabama Legislature Is Right To Openly ‘Defy’ Roe V. Wade

It is erroneous to think of an idiosyncratic (let alone wrongly decided) Supreme Court edict, such as Roe, as the “law of the land” which is binding on all fellow constitutional actors. There is nothing in the Constitution’s text, structure, or original understanding to indicate that. And in fact, the Alabama state legislators’ oath of office emphatically contradicts that line of thought.

So the great state of Alabama has officially passed the strongest pro-life bill in the country. The bill, which bans all abortions except for those deemed truly necessary to save the life of the mother, now awaits Republican Gov. Kay Ivey’s signature. The bill contains no exceptions for pregnancies resultant from rape or incest, and has already induced a general state of meltdown from large swaths of the rabidly pro-abortion cultural Left.
