We will remember June 24, 2022. It will stand as one of the most consequential days in Supreme Court history. Americans will remember this day as when the court overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
But we should remember much more than merely the outcome. Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion shows how terribly wrong the court has been on abortion over the last 49 years.
We should remember how badly the court erred in deciding a right to abortion existed. Alito’s majority opinion gave a forceful argument for why “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.”
