Professor Barry McDonald, "Will the Supreme Court Apply a Double Standard to Abortion and Gun Rights?" -- The Hill

Professor Barry P. McDonald's opinion article, "Will the Supreme Court Apply a Double Standard to Abortion and Gun Rights?" is published in The Hill. The article considers upcoming Supreme Court decisions on the constitutionality of a New York State restriction on carrying guns in public, and a 15-week abortion ban enacted by Mississippi.

Excerpt from "Will the Supreme Court Apply a Double Standard to Abortion and Gun Rights?"

If the current conservative majority is principled and honest about applying constitutional text and understandings to both abortion and gun rights, it should conclude that the bases for both are, at best, highly contestable. If Roe should be overturned, then so should Heller.
