OPINION | Roe cannot be seriously defended. It was, as the dissenting justices wrote at the time, never more than an "an exercise of raw judicial power." Prominent pro-abortion rights legal scholars – including the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – have over the years admitted as much, calling Roe "difficult to justify," a "barely coherent" "verbal smokescreen" that "is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be." |

Even with prices rising, homeownership became more affordable for many families in late 2020 and early 2021 due to record-low interest rates. But now rates have shot upward, and prices are still climbing. |
