The US Supreme Court has reversed its 1973 decision and eliminated the constitutional right to abortion. Germany made its abortion law more permissive in 1976, three years after the Roe vs Wade judgment. Before the Roe decision, the state of Texas found an ingenious way of banning abortion without falling foul of Roe. In a move worthy of a Victorian patriarch, Texas licensed vigilantes to police pregnant women.The US Supreme Court refused to stay the law. It’s fitting that the Supreme Court of the United States of America has signalled the end of the American century.
