Who had the over?
On second day of hearings, Roberts questioned on Roe, abortion.
“It’s entitled to respect under those principles,” Roberts said. “I think it is a jolt to the legal system when you overturn precedent. It is not enough that you may think that a prior decision was wrongly decided.”
In his writings, Roberts has argued that the Roe v. Wade decision by the high court had been wrongly decided.
Troy Newman, leader of Operation: Rescue, said anti-abortion activists weren’t surprised by Roberts’ comments Tuesday but would watch him closely.
“We’re concerned about these statements, but the proof will come when it’s time for him to rule on these cases as a justice,” Newman said.
