Federal judge says there may still be a constitutional right to abortion

A Washington, D.C. federal judge is exploring a different perspective of the U.S. Constitution, suggesting Americans may have a constitutional right to receive abortions based on a clause in the 13th Amendment, Politico reports.
On Monday, February 6, U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly made the suggestion as part of a criminal case involving anti-abortion activists.
Per Politico:
"The Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization concluded only that the 14th Amendment included no right to abortion but stopped short of definitively ruling out other aspects of the Constitution that might apply."
