If SCOTUS stands up and votes to repeal the 1973 Roe v Wade decision and all legal bumbling since then, it will be absolutely wonderful for these United States of America. Such a decision corrects the first order error the Supreme Court made in Roe – abortion is not a decision for the Federal Government. Abortion, like all other medical procedures, are issues for regulation, or restriction, or not – for the states.
It’s that simple. The Federal Government powers are limited to 17 things – see the Constitution. The state powers are plenary. That means the states can get involved in anything not expressly enumerated as a federal power or prohibited by the Bill of Rights.
The decision is a first, important step in restoring the Constitution as written.
If you believe that court decisions re-write the Constitution and create new laws as we go along, so you place the power of judicial precedence – stare decisis – above the Constitution as written, then remember the Courts ruled a black man couldn’t be a citizen, segregation was legal, and Japanese-Americans could be sent to concentration camps. Stare Decisis shouldn’t be the judiciary setting things in stone. It’s a good thing, that those decisions were overturned.
The leaked draft decision is phenomenal in its step by step destruction of the Roe decision. Any attempt to dispute the decision on Constitutional, jurisprudence, or legal technicality will fail to any fair-minded observer.
The “fair-minded” observer is the rub. For most Americans the issue of abortion isn’t Constitutionality or legality. Abortion is emotional. People on both sides of the issue think what they actually feel. No words will change their feelings.
Now, all Americans will get to fight out the issue in their state legislatures and governor’s offices. They can argue on whatever grounds they please.
In these bitter fights ahead much will be made of religion and the moral aspects of abortion.
Opposing teams of theologians will make contending arguments – all based on their religion, of course. Opposing polls will be flaunted as evidence for both sides. Politicians on both sides will blather for the most part and find the position that may get them re-elected.
But, all the storm and fury boils down to a few simple questions.
- Since abortion kills the baby, may a mother choose an abortion for any reason?
- What reasons justify the killing of the baby?
- When during the pregnancy may the abortion kill the baby?
The states will decide why a mother can kill her baby and when.
In America, 60 million babies have been killed since 1973. I wonder how many deaths there would have been if SCOTUS had done their duty and not written their un-Constitutional decision? Had many babies would have lived with no Roe?
The states are going to answer the simple questions of unborn baby life and death. Initially, the nation will likely be half Baby Death and half Life.
From 1619 to 1777 slavery existed in all the colonies. Vermont changed that as an independent state in 1777. It took until 1865 to make all states free.
As states, one-by-one, went from slave to free, let’s work to make states go from baby death to life. And, not settle it all with a horrible civil war.

I wonder if the “Leak” of that draft decision wasn’t intentionally timed to coordinate with Mother’s Day? After all, Mother appears to be a target, too.
Do any of these people who are so excited about everyone getting abortions, even media people who want to have sex, only to get an abortion, if the leaker is a Republican, ever consider that the damage they are doing against mother, child, society, civilization, might have all been avoided, if only their mother had aborted them?
It really makes me wonder about how these people could be so vain, arrogant and ill towards the ones who brought them to term. Without going into the religious arguments, it just seems pretty selfish that anyone would take to the streets, literally trash motherhood, curse the graves of those who gave them life.
That’s an awful long fall.
What’s doubly dismaying is how these freaks squander the gift of viability they were given when so many who wish they could give birth are denied the opportunity.
