AOC’s Roe v. Wade grandstanding has gone too far

If you’ve bothered to actually read the Supreme Court’s opinion on Roe v. Wade – rather than the endless social media memes – you’ll know that America’s chief justices have not decided they can rule over women’s bodies. The court has rather declared that the issue is not a matter for the court – that abortion should be returned to the nation’s elected representatives.

Funny thing, though: the nation’s elected representatives, at least the Democratic ones who most vocally support abortion, don’t seem to want that power – and they are furious with the Justices who have handed it back to them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic congresswoman who urged pro-abortion activists to take to the streets after last week’s ruling, has now called for the impeachment of two Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, on the grounds that both men ‘lied’ in their confirmation hearings on the matter of Roe v. Wade.
