March for Life president Jeanne Mancini is \u2018hopeful\u2019 the high court will uphold the state law to ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley condemned Democratic comments as “really dangerous” as the Supreme Court prepares to review the precedent set for abortion rights under Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re seeing a predictable ramp-up already in rhetoric from Democrats, including Democratic senators about how it will be a revolution if the court overturns Roe,” he told Fox News. “This is really inappropriate and dangerous rhetoric.”<\/p>\n
“Really dangerous,” he added. <\/p>\n

\n Sen. Josh Hawley, (R-MO) speaks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to examine Texas’s abortion law on Capitol Hill on September 29, 2021 in Washington, DC. The senator\u2019s comments were in response to a prediction made by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., who said there would be a “revolution” if the high court repealed the 1973 landmark decision made in Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n “I hope the Supreme Court is listening to the people of the United States,” Shaheen said Monday. “I think if you want to see a revolution go ahead, outlaw Roe v. Wade and see what the response is of the public, particularly young people.<\/p>\n “Because I think that will not be acceptable to young women or young men,” she added.<\/p>\n Fox News could not immediately reach Shaheen for comment, but tough questioning by certain justices on the Supreme Court Wednesday in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health could spell trouble for proponents of Roe v. Wade. <\/p>\n The 1973 decision made its way back to the Supreme Court this week when the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy was contested. <\/p>\n Democrats have long argued that the near 50-year precedent established under Roe v. Wade federally secures a women\u2019s right to access an abortion and should not be reversed. <\/p>\n Justice Brett Kavanaugh pushed back on the argument for stare decisis \u2014 the principle that the court should stick to its past rulings \u2014 and suggested some of the nation\u2019s most significant cases were repeals. <\/p>\n “If you think about some of the most important cases in this court’s history … there’s a string of them where the cases overruled precedent,” Kavanaugh said, referring to cases like Brown v. Board of Education and Miranda v. Arizona. <\/p>\n Justice Stephen Beyer contested this line of reasoning, chopping it up to overly simplifying complex factors that should be considered in a women\u2019s right to choose.<\/p>\n But Kavanaugh\u2019s questioning left Republicans feeling emboldened that the high court may not only support the constitutionality of the 2018 Mississippi law, but overturn Roe v. Wade altogether. <\/p>\n “There seems to be a majority of justices who are ready to uphold Mississippi\u2019s law,” Hawley told Fox News. “I think that in of itself is quite significant.”<\/p>\n “I think there\u2019s a distinct possibility now that the court will overturn Roe,” he added.<\/p>\n Democrats have argued the court does not accurately reflect the sentiments of the American public, as it seats six Republican-appointed justices and only three Democratic-appointed justices.<\/p>\n Progressives on the Hill have vowed to take action in an attempt to balance the court \u2014 though it remains unlikely they would have the votes in the Senate to make real change. <\/p>\n
