One issue of constitutional law and individual rights that has caused a great amount of public debate and has been highlighted in recent news is whether the Roe v. Wade precedent set in 1973 by the U.S. Supreme Court should be upheld or overturned. Justice Alito's draft opinion was leaked to the press in May 2022, further complicating the issue and raising concerns over the integrity of the Court.

QUESTIONS:

1. Supreme Court Justice Alito wrote in his draft opinion that "[t]he Constitution makes no reference to abortion and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision." According to Supreme Court precedent, would the fact that there is no specific language in the Constitution referring to abortion prevent the Court from upholding the rights granted in Roe v. Wade? Explain your answer, being sure to cite your sources.

2. In your reasoned opinion, should abortion be an issue governed by federal case law and constitutional interpretation (as it has been under Roe v. Wade) or should each state regulate access to abortion individually based on the majority opinion of its populace (under the traditional "police powers" of the states to regulate matters involving the health and welfare of their citizens)? Explain your answer, being sure to cite your sources.
