I saw it in the Wall Street Journal.
I don’t think it’s Constitutionally appropriate for members of Congress and the Senate to be writing letters to the Supreme Court as if they were average citizens. Their Constitutional role is to pass laws, not petition nine black-robed demigods.
A good start would be to defund Planned Abortionhood.
Willard the Abortion King of MASS is pretending to be pro-life...
Congressmen should not be "asking" the Supreme Court about any law. They MAKE laws!
Roe vs Wade was and always has been unconstitutional legislating from the bench. Congress should have tried, convicted and removed every Justice who approved it. Since Congress didn't, it needs to pass a law specifying that abortion is a matter reserved to the States in accordance with the 10th Amendment and further specifying that is not subject to judicial review.
The whole concept of judicial review of laws for constitutionality is very shaky.
Roe v Wade was as bad a decision as the Dredd Scott decision.
Not only was if flawed in it’s Constitutional reasoning (having to provide some obscure link to the Constitution), it was bad for the nation since it created division when it did not have to).
It will be overturned at some point.
That does not mean that abortions will not still be legal in those states that want it to be legal, but it does mean that the citizens in those states can decides for themselves.
Strangely it also means that fewer woman will die because of abortions since as it stands now most abortion providers do not have to meet any standards (even when there are laws on the book, the feminist fight any effort to enforce them). Because the standards are not enforced you have barely qualified individual performing abortions and often in unsafe circumstances. I suspect more woman have died as a result of legal abortions then died when they were illegal.
I would guess that within 20 years Roe v Wade will be overturned.
There is 0 chance this SC would overturn RvW. We need to flip 2 rat Justices to do that. I suspect these people know that. So this is either an election ploy or worse some of them want to get it in front of this SC to sabotage any effort to overturn for a generation.
OK, here it is. There is a case out of Louisiana on abortion rights. A bunch of Democrats filed an amicus brief in support and then a bunch of Republicans also filed one. So, the breifs were filed properly in an existing case with original jurisdication. The case is due to come up in March 2020.
Link to amicus brief filed by Democrats.

The democrats realize that their people aren’t going to come out to vote if they don’t create a frenzy. Whip, whip and whip to get them back on the plantation. The party of the Klan is desperate.
Roe vs Wade must be overturned. It violates the 10th and 11th Amendments to the Constitution. Read below:
10th AMENDMENT
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
11TH AMENDMENT
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
At this point, what difference does it make. The baby wasn’t aborted and is now in middle age. The court can’t rule except on an actual case, not in advisory capacity. So until there’s a state law outlawing abortion that the SCOTUS can review, with a plaintiff who has standing to contest the constitutionality of the law as it pertains to her, i.e., that she’s preggers and lives in that state, and wants to abort, this is just plain posturing.
