About
The "Death of Roe" refers to the now-expected overturn of the Supreme Court's landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision [W] which made it illegal for states to outlaw abortion. This decision has been affirmed by SCOTUS countless times since, and yet the six "conservatives" now on the GOP-packed bench see no problem in overturning what has been well-established precedent for five decades.

analysis
- 2022-05-06 ProPub: Draft Overturning Roe v. Wade Quotes Infamous Witch Trial Judge With Long-Discredited Ideas on Rape (via) «Justice Alito’s leaked opinion cites Sir Matthew Hale, a 17th-century jurist who conceived the notion that husbands can’t be prosecuted for raping their wives, who sentenced women to death as "witches," and whose misogyny stood out even in his time.»
- 2022-05-04 DKos: Alito cites racist eugenics theory to support overturn of Roe v. Wade «Alito pivots to the white savior role, actually attempting to justify that the removal of reproductive rights somehow aligns with a fight against racism—even citing the same misrepresented statistics used by pro-choice activists advocating for eugenics.» This looks like the abortion is black genocide argument again.
- 2022-05-03 House Judiciary GOP tweet: «Still trying to find the word “abortion” in the Constitution.»
- 2022-05-05 DKos: This Republican tweet counted on people not having read the Constitution. Whoops: many things they consider important are also not in the Constitution -- and the Constitution explicitly states that the rights it does list (among which is "«The right of the people to be secure in their persons»") should not be construed as the only rights under protection.

fallout
- 2022-05-04 Can Republicans Stop Patients From Leaving the State for an Abortion? Some Are Willing to Try. Texans flee to Oklahoma: Oklahoma passes a copycat law. Missouri had already drafted a similar law back in March, anticipating this decision. «...the Court has no understanding that a post-Roe world is going to be one where jurisdictions fight each other. [...] if in a state like Missouri, a zealous prosecutor goes after an Illinois provider who has been providing abortions on their citizens, the courts are going to have to figure out: Can a state do that if the provider is completely following Illinois law?”» This is fine with the GOP; they feed on social chaos.
- Louisiana:
- https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1522044847254872064 «Here is Louisiana’s new fetal personhood bill—which House Republicans just voted out of committee 7–2—making abortion a crime of homicide “from the moment of fertilization” and allowing prosectors to charge patients with murder.»
