    “It is time to heed the Constitution, and return the issue of abortion to
    the people’s elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his
    ruling last June overturning Roe v Wade.

    Such democratic sentiment was a staple of the abortion debate long before the court’s Republican majority overthrew Roe with its ruling in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization. After all, who were these unelected judges
    making decisions for the American people? Contentious, complicated issues belonged in state legislatures, where elected representatives, close to the people, subject to their influence and electoral veto, would render a more judicious outcome.
    In a concurring opinion in Dobbs, Justice Brett Kavanaugh declared that the court would no longer meddle in the debate. “Instead, those difficult moral
    and policy questions will be decided, as the Constitution dictates, by the people and their elected representatives through the constitutional processes of democratic self-government.”
    One year after Dobbs, how is all that “democratic self-government” going?

    The Supreme Court said it was time to return the issue to lawmakers, who continue to flout the will of the voters.


    people’s representatives has proved to be just another joke on democracy.
