Justice Scalia on Roe vs. Wade: “Not Yet, Maybe Not Never, but Certainly Not Yet”
By Terry Vanderheyden
FREIBURG, Switzerland, March 10, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Justice Antonin Scalia, one of nine judges on the U.S. Supreme Court, told a group attending a fireside discussion that he sees it unlikely that Roe v. Wade will be reversed now, but has hopes that it may be down the road.
As reported by Bureau Audiovisuel Francophone (BAF), Justice Scalia confirmed that the abortion ban passed this week in South Dakota will “ultimately” make its way to the Supreme Court. When questioned by BAF on the timeline for a reversal of Roe v. Wade, Justice Scalia responded, “I have no idea . . . and no idea whether it will be.”
Speaking before academics at the University of Freiburg Wednesday, he explained that, with the current court, there is still a majority who favor abortion. “It is not likely to be overturned with the current court because there are still five justices on our court who voted in favour of Roe v. Wade,” Justice Scalia said. “If I had to guess, I would say, ‘not yet . . . maybe not never, but certainly not yet.’”
