If SCOTUS was interested in upholding abortion rights precedent, it would have issued an order that says basically “sorry Texas, Roe says you can’t ban abortion at 6 weeks. Nice try.” SCOTUS didn’t issue that order.pic.twitter.com/bZ71jJrFFy

And by not issuing that order, SCOTUS signaled that the 6-3 conservative majority has no interest in upholding Roe as precedent. And it did so on the shadow docket.pic.twitter.com/RC4FNeJXQR

You might remember that there actually is a formal challenge to Roe v. Wade “on the docket” for SCOTUS this term—Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Well guess what? The last 24 hours just told us everything about how SCOTUS plans to rule in Dobbs.pic.twitter.com/prBQxa1VML

Every time I start to think about living in another part of the country something like this happens. Me and my anxiety are staying planted in the state where abortion is a right enshrined in our state constitution.

Overturning Roe v. Wade is the GOP Hail Mary Pass. They could have done it anytime they actually wanted to but having done so would have cost them the votes of those single issue voters.
