If congress can use the commerce clause to ban a particular abortion procedure ( a ban which I presume overrides any state law ) then by this SCOTUS ruling, congress could ban ( or allow ) any procedure. This ruling seems to take at least some power out of the hands of the states.

Basically partial birth abortion was legal yesterday, but is illegal today.

Bout time Bush did something to validate my reasoning for voting him in. Thanks W!!

Wickard v. Filburn started the damage back in the 1940s. It’s been downhill ever since. The feds have been taking stuff away from the states for almost half a century now.

Isn't that just what Roe did?
