The latest opinions of the Supreme Court and the earlier leaked “pre-opinion” about Roe v. Wade incline me to think that our Court is headed for a place in history alongside the “Dred Scott” Court of 1857. Chief Justice Roger Taney, the author of the infamous majority decision in the Dred Scott case, was the first Catholic to serve on the Supreme Court. His current successors are the club of conservative Catholics on the Court, Alito, Barrett, Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Thomas. It seems very likely that these justices are going to set aside Roe v. Wade and leave it to the individual states to regulate abortion. This will increase the already extreme polarization of our society and will divide the country as starkly as did the Dred Scott Decision.
