Even though the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Congress could introduce and pass legislation that would federally protect abortion services. That would effectively supersede the court’s decision, George Washington University Professor Casey Burgat told VERIFY via email in May.

“However, and this is a big however, SCOTUS could then deem the new abortion law unconstitutional in a future case,” Burgat wrote. “A federal law is the best, most legitimate means of codifying the principles of Roe v Wade. It's not bullet-proof because a future Supreme Court case can render the new law unconstitutional, but it's by far the most feasible strategy to make abortion legal in all U.S. states.”

Lawmakers introduced legislation last year that would codify Roe v. Wade, but, so far, it has failed to become law. The Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021 was first introduced in the House in June 2021. In September 2021, the bill was passed in the House 218-211. On Feb. 28, the Senate voted against bringing the bill to the floor.

Doron Kalir, clinical professor of law at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, said if the Women’s Health Protection Act was passed in the Senate and signed into law by President Joe Biden, it would likely be contested in lower courts im

1. Why was the 19th Amendment necessary?

1. The Supreme Court declined to grant universal suffrage for women.

2. A federal statute was deemed ineffective to overcome Constitutional challenges.

2. Probably a good move...

...because, if a federal statute had been enacted instead, the current SCOTUS would probably have voided it.

4. Can Congress override what the Supreme Court did in, for example Oberfell? Are we SURE we want

to give a Republican Congress the power to override USSC rulings?

5. Today's SC will overturn such law with injunction just like they would overturn ACA

they are waiting for a case that would challenge a law in blue state that permits and protects abortion practice on 5th amendment grounds as in violation of fetal personhood.

6. But

even if Congress codifies Roe v. Wade, the law could be contested in the lower courts and soon be back with the Supreme Court. If they overturn the law, according to the 9th Amendment each state can create its own abortion laws, like now​. But the Supremacy Clause of Article III of the Constitution says that under certain circumstances the Supreme Court can overrule decisions by state courts. So, what it boils down to is that We the People are screwn.
