In June 2022, The Supreme Court, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, overturned Roe v. Wade, the decision that defined the law of the land regarding abortion since 1973.

Now we are in active national discourse about which abortion regime will fill this vacuum.

In Roe, the court ruled that the U.S. Constitution provides a right to abortion. The Dobbs decision, written by Justice Samuel Alito, concluded that the U.S. Constitution contains no right to abortion.

Now conventional wisdom seems to be that the abortion issue is "back to the States."

Although Dobbs notes that the Constitution "does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion," it concludes saying that it returns "authority ... to the people and their elected representatives."

So, although we know that each state can now regulate abortion as it chooses, is a federal abortion regime now precluded?

I would say........
