Overturning separate but equal expanded right, but overturning Roe has taken away rights...
Abortion rights activists protest in Austin the day the ruling was announced. Overturning Roe is a step back for democracy because it restricts rights.On the evening of June 24, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated the constitutional right to abortion, several hundred women, men and children marched in protest through downtown San Antonio.
Until that morning, it was an affirmation courts had acknowledged and protected, dating back to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that established women have a constitutional right to abortion. That Roe would always stand as the law of the land was never secure, given the divide in the United States about abortion, and the long-stated goal and diligence of anti-abortion rights forces within the Republican Party to shape a Supreme Court majority that someday would overturn Roe.
Last weekend, Sen. John Cornyn got into hot water for a tweet he sent responding to former President Barack Obama, who denounced the Dobbs decision on Twitter for overturning nearly 50 years of precedent. Cornyn tweeted back, “Now do Plessy vs Ferguson/Brown vs Board of Education.”In 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy that separate was equal. That was overturned in Brown in 1954, when the court ruled that separate could never be equal.
