U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly informed lawyers on Monday that they must file briefs addressing any potential right to abortion that the Constitution might convey in its 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. The case at hand stems from criminal charges against pro-life activists who have moved to dismiss the charges in light of the Dobbs v. Jackson court ruling last year that overturned the constitutional right to abortion, the Washington Times reported.
She said the justices only considered precedent surrounding the 14th Amendment when the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last year. The decision upended Roe, the 1973 ruling that gave women a national right to abortion.
But, can an unwanted pregnancy be seen as “involuntary servitude?” Time will tell. What do you think?
