In 1918, Scotus settled the issue of WWI conscription v. the 13th Amendment’s ban on involuntary servitude. Borrowing from Vattel, the court majority wrote in the Selective Draft Law Cases:
So, the Scotus boldly defended the survival of society and the republic. In the Draft Law Cases, Scotus aligned with our Framers and determined our continuance as a nation and community as government’s first duty. Thousands might die in battle that millions may live.
Contrast the continuance of the American republic and the society on which it rests with the Scotus’ defense of abortion.
Sixty-five million Americans and counting. Poof! Gone. The Left, which is big into recycling, doesn’t see it that way. To them, recycling babies into dollars to buy Ferraris is no different from recycling plastic bottles into Ferrari dashboards. Millions die so that an equal number are not inconvenienced. Casting the wholesale termination of the next generation as an absolute right superior to all others surely threatens society’s continuance . . . America’s posterity.
What gives? Protecting American lives and culture figured large to our Framers. Society summarized its objectives, as outlined in the Preamble to our Constitution with “Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” We command our government to think ahead, to consider the effects of what it does today to future Americans. Corollary to doing what is proper is to avoid doing wrong. Don’t do today that which could harm future generations. Shouldn’t “first do no harm” be the starting consideration of every governmental action?
Our republic blunders along in this contradiction. From our Declaration’s statement of right to life, to a Constitution written to defend life, to conscription statutes that compel men to perhaps die in defense of fellow citizens, Scotus in one sense stands ready to defend American lives and community. Yet in greater ways it promotes the coarsening of society and its demise.
This is the sort of inconsistency and contra-constitutionality that sets my blood to boil when I view the Supreme Court. Their black robes, the garb designed to induce respect for their judgement, only worsens my disgust. Scotus is often just another political body. The United States are on auto-pilot to destruction and Scotus dialed in the compass course. Scotus sets its precedent superior to all else, even God. Nations can violate their own rules set forth in Constitutions. They can also violate God’s laws . . . for a while.
Roe was nonsense in 1973 and remains nonsense today.
Wonder why we need so many illegals? They’re replacing the 65 million unborn children that would have been in the workforce.
Pro-abortionists are like ghouls to me. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how anyone, Christian or not, could be okay with killing our offspring by drowning/burning them in saline, or chopping them up....or jamming a knife into the back of their little heads.
That said, this way just bad law. There is no right to privacy or terminating a pregnancy anywhere in the constitution.
I have no idea why liberals are so mad about this. All of their women are too busy pretending to be men to get pregnant anyway. (or they are so ugly, no one would touch it to begin with!)
Of course we can’t even define what a woman is anymore, so there’s that.
The very same people are or would be outraged over the poultry hatching industry practice of throwing cockerel chicks into a chopper/grinder as soon as the sex is determined because most people only want females for eggs and meat.
Because they ultimately want to control who is born and when, and who dies and when.
Those deemed as societal misfits will be labeled as "useless eaters" and will be denied life saving health care, shelter, food, etc.
This is also why "Obamacare" is so important to them, it is the other end of the spectrum, where they will kill off old white people by not letting them get surgery or meds.
Remember Obama's "she might be better off with a pain killer" comment ?
This is where they are heading.
Stay frosty ....
One ironic thing; most of those aborted would probably have grown up to be Democrats.
America’s conservatives...fighting to protect the lives of future Democrat voters
Ugh. Once again, we must suffer these heinous protesters, most of whom would be lucky just to get a date, much less arouse a male to any point that would get them pregnant. Blechhhhhhhh.
The US entered World War I because Woodrow Wilson wanted to make the world safe for democracy, not to defend the US.
That sounds a bit strange and convoluted.
For the record, the 'United States' is not a sovereign. We the People are the sovereigns. The 'United States' is a mere government that We the People delegated a few things for them to do for us, given that we are the sovereigns.
