A Quick Fact

Eighty per cent of the laws passed by the people in state referendums are overturned by one activist judge.

As an example:

A federal judge struck down a law in Mississippi banning abortion after 15 weeks.

U.S. District Judge Carlton Wayne Reeves ruled that the Mississippi law "unequivocally" violated the 14th Amendment, the portion of the Constitution that was used to justify Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court. Roe legalized abortion across the country for up until fetal viability, which is generally understood to be up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy. 11/19/18
