One day after the Supreme Court heard arguments in the first abortion-related case since Roe v. Wade was overturned, retired Justice Stephen Breyer told CNN that the justices will be forced to consider abortion “more and more and more.” In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Breyer chided the conservative majority for believing that the “harmful” Dobbs decision in 2022 would put an end to Supreme Court cases challenging abortion access. “The majority thinks it’s going to turn the whole issue over to the legislatures of states, and we’ll never have to deal with it again,” Breyer said of the landmark decision. “’Oh really,’ we said, ‘is that true?’” Breyer joked, citing the arguments in front of the justices Tuesday over attempts to limit access to mifepristone, the primary drug used for medication abortions. “Yesterday morning, they dealt with a big issue, and there will be more and more and more,” Breyer said. Two years after his retirement from the high court, Breyer released a new book “Reading the Constitution” that explains his approach to the law. The book compares Breyer’s approach to constitutional law to the current conservative majority’s invocation of “originalism.”
