Abortion

Clearly the most emotional issue of our culture. I'm squarely against it, and I'm completely against the State spending a penny of our money on it. To make it illegal feels right, but the clarity seems to get obscured by an individual's right to control over their own body. I'm not completely sure, and I'd be interested in your opinion on this.

I've writen several pieces

about so-called bioethicists who’s (to use your words) clarity seems to get obscured by their own “ethics”. Their solution is to declare that babies aren’t really human until up to three months after they’re born! Pro-abortionists apply the charade of “pro-choice” using the same argument that this isn’t really a baby – merely a lump of cells no different than a tumor or a parasite growing in the mother’s body. If a baby isn’t entitled to life even after birth, it certainly doesn’t have any rights even moments before taking its first breath. The results of Roe v. Wade is that the debate if over – it’s in the Constitution.

Well it’s not in the Constitution, and the debate’s not over. Five Justices suddenly “found” a “right to privacy” that no one knew about for almost 200 years. And remember four Justices vehemently disagreed.

If Roe were to be overturned today, abortion would not be illegal tomorrow. That decision would revert back to the individual states. Freeborn Americans would be allowed to debate the issue in fifty state legislatures, using moral and ethical arguments and the latest scientific information. Such information as fetuses reacting to stimuli as early as 20 weeks.

Roe, like Dred Scott, is the result of activist jurists making law under the cloak of the Constitutional.
