We will certainly see serious rioting. There are a number of "activist" groups, notably Antifa, the Abortion Lobby, and others, who will seize on ANY excuse to go into the streets and destroy things. Several "pro-choice" groups have already stated that they will do virtually anything to keep Roe v. Wade in effect, threatening widespread protests which will easily turn violent.

Rioting is almost a cottage industry in many of our larger cities, especially since so-called "progressive" district attorneys have publicly announced they've stopped prosecuting a number of crimes. These crimes include shoplifting, robbery of under $1000, and drug possession. Note the rash of "smash and grab" crimes in several large California cities that have followed such pronouncements.

"Roe did not legalize abortion. Rather, the Court discovered a "right to privacy" — nowhere mentioned in the Constitution."
The article makes this one, very important, distinction. Roe set a Legal Precedent, it did not Amend the Constitution, or create a Right. Article V of the Constitution, gives us the process by which an Amendment can be made.

I do not agree with Roe. But the argument of "right not mentioned in Constitution" is just a bad argument. 9th Amendment makes it very clear that just because a right is not mentioned specifically does not mean that it does not exist within the Constitution. In other words, rights do not have to be specifically spelled out to exist.


Now, in my opinion, Roe STILL fails because it prioritizes a woman's right to convenience over an unborn human life's right to continue living. Yes, rights are clashing, and when two interests have clear rights at stake, courts are required to evaluate which rights have supremacy. In my opinion, the court decided incorrectly that the mother's right to convenience trumps the unborn human life's right to live.

That is really the only true Constitutional argument here. Both sides are arguing their rights, the court has to decide which rights have supremacy. Arguments about a right not being specifically mentioned in the Constitution fall short. After all, the right to be born is not specifically mentioned either.

Judicial review isn’t mentioned in the constitution.

You should read up on implied powers
