The Supreme Court's decision overturning the half-century-old ruling in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortions nationwide has the potential to scramble in dramatic ways a 2022 campaign landscape that has favored Republicans.
A majority of justices, each appointed by Republican presidents, joined the opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, ruling Mississippi can maintain its law banning abortion after 15 weeks of gestation. The decision gives states the power to determine limits on when a woman can terminate a pregnancy.
Vance lauded the decision and vowed that the next phase of the anti-abortion movement would be one of action. "It is unjust. It is wrong. And I’m going to fight it with everything I’ve got. Send me to the U.S. Senate, and I’d *proudly* vote to codify Roe v. Wade into law," he said. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a former press secretary under President Donald Trump, also praised the decision. She is the Republican nominee in the Arkansas gubernatorial race.
Democratic Reps. Abigail Spanberger and Elaine Luria bemoaned the decision, with Spanberger calling it"a dark day" and saying,"As a federal lawmaker, I will work to restore a woman’s right to choose and protect our Fourteenth Amendment rights."
