The argument regarding whether or not Roe v. Wade should be overturned should not be made from a religious standpoint. Religion is a personal choice in this country, not a matter of law and if you want to keep the government out of your religion, you had best keep your religion out of government. With that said and while I’m on the topic of personal choice, let me address the oft heard liberal talking point of “my body, my choice.”
When it comes to abortion, while it is an elective procedure, ultimately, except in rare circumstances, it is the woman’s choice, and the baby’s body we’re talking about here. In the overwhelming vast majority of abortions, the woman is making a choice based solely on what she finds convenient for her. While babies can and are placed for adoption all the time, some women just don’t want to be inconvenienced for nine months and would rather kill the soon to be born child in order to maintain their lifestyle than carry the child to term.
By the way liberals, you shot yourselves in both feet regarding the “my body, my choice” thing with masks and the jabs.
Next, I want to address where a vast amount of abortions take place in this country – Planned Parenthood. They bill themselves as “women’s healthcare facilities” when nothing could be farther from the truth. Let me start with this – while in rare cases where the mother’s life (not her lifestyle) might be at risk, abortions are NOT healthcare. Planned Parenthood was the product of its founder, Margaret Sanger who was a champion of killing as many black babies as possible. Sanger, while promoting birth control, (read “abortion”) advanced her controversial “Negro Project,”and wrote in her autobiography about speaking to a Ku Klux Klan group and advocating for a eugenics approach to breeding for “the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extinction, of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”
That’s right, the woman who founded PLANNED PARENTHOOD, the abortion mills liberals defend and champion as “healthcare centers for women” was in fact a RACIST who sought GENOCIDE against BLACK PEOPLE via ABORTION. I sure haven’t heard a single word from liberals wanting to CANCEL Planned Parenthood or remove any statue or mention of Margaret Sanger from the public square – have YOU?
So much for the liberal talking points regarding an end to Roe v. Wade or shutting down Planned Parenthood will harm the black community, but liberals are continuing to lose their last marbles over the leaked draft decision from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding Roe v. Wade and it’s reaching a pitchfork and torch level of hysteria.
This past week, we saw liberal disruptors protesting outside of the homes of our Supreme Court Justices trying to pressure them into changing their vote. That’s illegal. It’s barred by the rule of law. According to Title 18 U.S. Code 1507, “Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.”
“Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt.”
Have we seen even ONE liberal protester arrested? No, and while it should be shocking that we haven’t, it’s par for the course as I’m sure the Biden DOJ and his Attorney General, Merrick Garland are simply too busy investigating parents who attend school board meetings and trying to figure out what cataclysmic crimes with which they can charge the Qanon shaman. Strolling through the U.S. Capitol while wearing a buffalo hat and face paint or wanting a say in your children’s education…THOSE are the REAL threats to America.
Am I comparing apples to oranges here? No. In fact, last September, the National School Board Association demanded that Biden “utilize the expertise and resources of the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service, and the National Threat Assessment Center” to enforce “the Patriot Act in regards to domestic terrorism” against parents who dared to speak at school board meetings, and just three days later, Merrick Garland fired off a letter to the FBI and US Attorneys claiming “a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff” and demanding that the regime use its power to quash the threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate.
What we’re seeing now is “a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against” U.S. Supreme Court Justices simply being ignoring because it fits the liberal agenda.
The leaked draft decision from the SCOTUS which started the latest liberal meltdown is a 5-4 ruling which means that one Conservative Justice stood with the liberal black robes, but which one?
Back in 1991 at his confirmation hearings, Clarence Thomas said he hadn’t given that much thought to whether Roe v. Wade was correctly decided but a few months later, in the dissenting opinion from Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992, he said, “The power of a woman to abort her unborn child.”
Neil Gorsuch said during his confirmation hearings regarding Roe v. Wade, that the Roe decision was “precedent,” but declined to call it “super precedent,” which, loosely defined, means a deeply rooted, repeatedly upheld precedent. He declined to indicate whether or not he would strike Roe v. Wade.
When questioned by Sen. Feinstein, Brett Kavanaugh said, “Senator, I said that it is settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court, entitled the respect under principles of stare decisis. And one of the important things to keep in mind about Roe v. Wade is that it has been reaffirmed many times over the past 45 years, as you know, and most prominently, most importantly, reaffirmed in Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992.”
It should be noted that just a few years ago, both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh voted to uphold a Louisiana law that severely restricted access to abortions and would have left that state with but one single abortion clinic. Both of those Justices were in the dissenting group meaning the majority vote struck the Louisiana law down.
During her confirmation hearings Amy Coney-Barrett, under questioning from Feinstein, brought up Planned Parenthood v. Casey in which Justice Scalia “joined the dissent, which took the position, and I quote, ‘We believe that Roe was wrongly decided and that it can and should be overruled, consistent with our traditional approach to stare decisis in constitutional cases.’” While Coney-Barrett also declined to state her position on Roe, she has long held the same judicial ideals as did Scalia.
And there there’s Chief Justice, John Roberts who would rather stand on precedent that is wrong than correct the wrong for the sake of constitutionality. Roberts was the swing vote in that Louisiana law case and voted with the liberals. Roberts is also not above legislating from the bench as evidenced by his actions regarding Obamacare.
My money is on Roberts being the cross-over vote in the leaked draft decision.
So, here’s my bottom line on Roe – decisions at the Supreme Court level should NEVER be made on ANY Justice’s personal, religious or social issue ideology, but on constitutionality alone. In 1973, the high court legislated from the bench, and I believe that each time it has been upheld since has been further legislation from the bench. Clearly, as explained by the 10th Amendment, powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved TO the states respectively, or to the people, and as there is NOTHING in our founding document regarding abortion, it should have ALWAYS been left to the individual states.
Overturning Roe v Wade now would simply put the power of the decisions regarding abortion back into the hands of the people in their respective states via the election of state lawmakers BY the people.
Constitutionality – What a concept.
