Yes. This is very true. Charlie Kirk also mentioned this in his show this morning. Many people erroneously believed that the right to abortion is in the Constitution. They compared this ruling to the one earlier this week supporting the 2nd Amendment, even some politicians in our legislative branch. What they failed to recognize that both decisions were made regarding the Constitutional basis for the laws. What most don't recognize as well: any power not granted to the federal government is granted to the states; so yes, as Jeff below noted this decision did not abolish abortion, but returned the authority to the state legislatures.

Some states are still fighting for the life of the unborn. One only needs to look to California which is on the cusp of legalizing abortion up to birth and infanticide in the first 28 days of life.

Praying for hearts to be changed.

Yes, we need to pray for changed hearts. One cannot legislate morality.

So true. The court does not make laws, they help enforce the laws based on our Constitution. They did not make a moral decision (though we all need to), but a legal one. They didn't outlaw abortion, they just demonstrated that they don't have that authority. They returned authority to the people of each state to decide through their elected representative legislatures.

A legal decision, not a moral one, and not based on public opinion or pressure.
