Conservatives have been playing the long game on Roe v. Wade, even as their attempts to overturn the 1973 precedent have failed time and again. Their patience is due to pay off this fall, when the court that former President Donald Trump built, with its 6-3 conservative majority, will determine how early in a pregnancy states can block women from getting abortions.
The decade leading up to this moment has been foreshadowing, as Republican-led states have thrown law after extreme law at the federal courts. But the case in question Dobbs v. Jackson Women s Health Organization is the big one. It s the chance they ve been waiting for and working toward as reverently and zealously as John the Baptist prepared the way for the Messiah.

GOP Governors Sign Bills Restricting Abortion in Oklahoma, Montana
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte on Monday each signed three bills to restrict abortion in their states.
Republican Gov. Stitt announced on Twitter the three bills set to be effective Nov. 1 in Oklahoma. “I’m keeping my promise to sign all pro-life legislation,” he said. “We now have three more laws protecting the lives of the unborn! HB 2441, HB 1904, and HB 1102.”
The state’s HB 2441 (pdf), set to be effective Nov. 1, stipulates that no person shall carry out an abortion without first checking whether the unborn child has a heartbeat. If a heartbeat is detected, typically at about six weeks of pregnancy, the abortion is prohibited. Anyone who violates the law “shall be guilty of homicide.”
