So Alabama has passed the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/47209/alabama-senate-passes-strongest-pro-life-bill-hank-berrien">strictest pro-life law</a> in the nation, amounting to a full-on abortion ban with a lone exception for abortions deemed truly necessary to save the mother&#8217;s life. The law has an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/47249/hammer-yes-alabama-legislature-right-openly-defy-josh-hammer">overtly anti-Roe v. Wade footing</a>, which <a href="https://twitter.com/josh_hammer/status/1128807540756758528">may</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1128801269844332544">may not</a> be a sound idea as a matter of both litigation strategy and public relations tactics. The reality, as I expressed to Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro on his <a href="https://soundcloud.com/josh-hammer-7/josh-hammer-interview-51519">radio program yesterday</a>, is that the U.S. Supreme Court, as presently constituted, is highly unlikely to do anything more on the abortion front than possibly tighten the &#8220;undue burden&#8221; constitutional standard that was fabricated in the 1992 Roe follow-up case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey. For that reason, it is exceptionally difficult to see a world in which the Supreme Court would even grant a writ of certiorari to hear argument on the Alabama law, after it wends its way up through the federal judiciary.

Thomas is only current SCOTUS justice who is a lock to overturn Roe/Casey. Roberts and Kav will not do it. Gorsuch *probably* would, but not obvious. Alito didn&#8217;t join Thomas&#8217;s 2016 Hellerstedt dissent!
