Four Ways A Romney Supreme Court Would Change The Constitution Without Amending It
Four Ways A Romney Supreme Court Would Change The Constitution Without Amending It: Eliminating The Right To An Abortion: Roe v. Wade is already on life support. The Court’s current majority weakened the longstanding rule ensuring that women may terminate pregnancies that threaten their health, claiming instead that a federal abortion restriction should be allowed in part because “some women come to regret” their own reproductive choices. If Romney were able to add an additional conservative to the Supreme Court, Roe would likely be forfeit.
