(JUST THE NEWS) – Alveda King, an abortion opponent and niece of the late Martin Luther King Jr., says she hopes the U.S. Supreme Court revises Roe v. Wade and lets states decide the legality of abortion, much like they individually ratified the holiday honoring her late uncle.
During an interview with Just the News after the nine justices heard arguments in a historic case centered on Mississippi’s restrictive abortion law, King said she believed the high court was poised to reevaluate the rationale for the famous Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide a half century ago.
“Well, you know, Roe v. Wade is really bad law,” King told the John Solomon Reports podcast. “There’s so many holes in what was decided in 1973 that can easily be refuted today. They didn’t know if [a fetus] was really life, they didn’t know if it was a blob of tissue, a lump of flesh. Now we know through 3 and 4D ultrasounds very early that that is a human being. There are so many things that had not been considered. They didn’t know how damaging abortion is to a woman’s body and her health.”
