Senator Tom Cotton Predicts Supreme Court Will Overturn Roe v. Wade

[Free Beacon] Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) told attendees at a Federalist Society conference this week that he expects the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade, given that a majority of its members profess to be textualists and originalists.

The senator this week delivered remarks at the University Club of Washington, D.C. The speech covered a range of legal topics, including a case the justices will hear in December that asks whether Roe should be overturned. The event was closed to the press, but a source in the room conveyed portions of Cotton's remarks to the Washington Free Beacon.

Cotton's comments come amid a budding influence campaign around the December case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Center. Judicial liberals have divided over strategies for protecting abortion rights before the conservative Court. Some pro-abortion activists, such as the 50-odd demonstrators who picketed Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home on Sept. 15, favor direct political action against the justices themselves. Others recommend a conciliatory approach.

"The only thing standing in the way of justices doing the right thing is the intense social pressure of liberal elites," Cotton told conference attendees.

"Now is the time for true friends of the Constitution to speak up," he added.

#1 We now witness a politician once again telling people precisely what they wish to hear. The actual facts are very likely to be found elsewhere.

#2 What about reversible sterilization for teen-agers?

#3 I agree with Besoeker. SCROTUS wouldn't knock down Bath House Care because reasons. They will genuflect to the emanations of the penumbra once again. Cotton, whatever his good point might be, is either just saying this for public consumption, which is bad. Or he actually believes it, which is worse.

The SCOTUS went to far with Abortion ON DEMAND and it needs to be toned down to As Medically Warranted.

Not the now "Opps how did that happen again, oh well back to PPH." type attitude it hold now.

Look its not the 1970's.
This generation understands the ramification of unprotected sex and has easy access to preventive measures.

There are so many Before Sex and immediately after Sex solutions (Plan B) available. That On Demand Abortions are no longer justified and we should be treating this as a serious Medical procedure and not Industry. Plus adjusting Sex Ed to teach more PERSONAL SEXUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

#5 PERSONAL SEXUAL RESPONSIBILITY

#6 Whenever a court rules in favor of the left, it's 'settled law'. Otherwise it's not 'settled law'.

#7 As much as I would like to see Roe v Wade overturned, I fear it will never happen. Too many justices bow in fealty to stare decesis.
The only way it will happen is if there is a constitutional amendment.
