A Minnesota law professor expressed hope that the U.S. Supreme Court soon may overturn Roe v. Wade and recognize that abortion “has no roots in the Constitution.”

Speaking with The Catholic Spirit, University of St. Thomas law professor Teresa Collett shared her thoughts about a major abortion case that the Supreme Court heard in December.

“Roe is purely a judicial creation — it has no roots in the language of the Constitution, American history or our legal traditions. As such, what the Court created, the Court can reject,” she told The Catholic Spirit.
