of course it is just theater. It won’t pass - they don’t have 60 votes.

Even if SCOTUS doesn’t say it’s a state issue, how does Congress ‘codify’ it? Nowhere in Article 1 Section 8 does Congress get the power to codify anything about abortion. Abortion has nothing to do with interstate commerce, the national debt, treaties with foreign nations or Indian tribes, coinage, weights and measures, the national defense, etc. etc.

Roe claimed that abortion was part of a ‘right to privacy’ implied but not actually stated by the 4th Amendment and therefore the states could not restrict it since Constitutional guarantees supersede state laws. An odd ruling since this ‘offense against the ‘right to privacy’’ went undiscovered for nearly two hundred years.

THIS is a wedge issue to pander to the “Progressive” base, for the flailing mid-terms. If we had ONE Republican Senator with balls, he would add an Amendment that requires DNA identification of the male parent, for ALL abortions, AND, DNA Requirements for all single-mother babies to establish paternity and responsibility for paying for the fun-times results to the father until the offspring are 21 years old. IF the concern is for the “females health care”, it sure would be good if the baby mama’s had to ID the FATHERS before they can feed at the public trough.

The draft decision does not specifically call it a state issue. Nothing in it prevents actions at the federal level to ban abortion, and Cruz, Hawley, and other senators are talking about introducing legislation to do so and ending the filibuster if necessary to get it passed.
