Roe v. Wade would be effectively reversed.
Abortion Never Declared Absolute “Right” - Abortion has never been declared by the Court to be an absolute constitutional right. In fact, when writing the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, Justice Harry Blackmun wrote:
“We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. . . the judiciary at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.”
The Court then admitted:
"If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case
, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life is then guaranteed by the [14th] Amendment."
A Life at Conception Act, by establishing personhood for the unborn, would do just that.
…
A Life at Conception Act is consistent with Supreme Court Precedent.
Since a Life at Conception Act must pass by majority vote in both Houses of Congress, and be signed into law by the President, the measure will go to the Court with considerable backing in the likely event it is challenged.
Furthermore, if the court attempted to backpedal on its language in Roe v. Wade permitting this legislation, Congress could use its power under Article 3, Section 2 of the Constitution to change the jurisdiction of federal courts and eliminate their jurisdiction over abortion.
This kind of legislation has been used by Congress before to reign in the Courts on other themes (see Norris LaGuardia Act). At that time, judges would know that being “fired” from jurisdiction over abortion would be a real threat to their power since it would require the same majority as the Life at Conception Act.
