If Americans support abortion, let's vote

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Among those powers, there is nothing about the Supreme Court or any federal bureaucrat setting abortion policy for the nation. There is nothing vaguely related to abortion whatsoever. You can read it yourself.

Merely to state the logic of the "privacy right" concocted in Roe is to expose its inanity. Writing for the majority, Justice Harry Blackmun conceded that the "Constitution does not explicitly mention any right of privacy," but then he babbled on about the court or "individual justices" having "found at least the roots of that right in the First Amendment; in the Fourth and Fifth Amendments; in the penumbras of the Bill of Rights, in the Ninth Amendment or in the concept of liberty ..."

Any "right" that is that hard to pin down is a hoax. Still, from a "concept of liberty," and vaguely alluded-to "zones of privacy," abortion enthusiasts won a right to kill babies without the mess and bother of passing a law.

The abortion cases are a direct assault on the most basic "choice" citizens are allowed in a democracy -- the right to vote. Not the right to have your improperly punched ballot recounted 17 times in a bald attempt to throw an election, but simply to have a say about a pressing moral issue committed to the states by the Constitution.

Ms. Feldt drones on about "respecting differences" and finding "common ground" -- all in defense of an indefensible edict that stripped all Americans of the right to determine their own destinies by voting for the laws they want. Repeal Roe and let's vote.
