    The Spin

    Right narrative

    The Constitution does not, implicitly or otherwise, protect the right to abortion. By handing back the authority over abortions to individual states, SCOTUS is protecting federalism and the unborn from the precedent of an egregious and legally weak law that has damaged US society for almost five decades.

    Left narrative

    This is a catastrophic tragedy for all American women who have now been stripped of their right to bodily autonomy. This ruling confirms the right-wing extremist lurch of a Supreme Court that was so heavily curated by Trump and risks dragging reproductive rights back to draconian levels.
