BlowBackTM future post date: June 21st, 2009

The Supreme Court today upheld the basis of Roe v. Wade in a 5-to-4 decision handed down today in Smith v. Alabama. The Smith decision strikes down an Alabama law passed by Governor Roy Moore requiring the consent of a Baptist minister for hysterectomy as an unconstitutional breach of privacy rights noted in Roe and Griswold v. Connecticut.

Again, as in prior cases coming before the court this term, the swing vote was cast by Justice Harriet Miers. Miers again drew the ire of conservatives for her willingness to support precedence on controversial issues, much like the Justice she replaced, Sandra Day O'Connor. According to commentator Bill Bennett, Miers "should have been aborted herself along with every black child born in 1946."
