Today, the Supreme Court overturned nearly 50 years of bad abortion law: “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled.”
The issue of abortion will be left to the States.
In 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion under the auspices of the “right of privacy,” which it held to “encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” While we do have rights that are guaranteed to us despite not being in the Constitution (those natural rights), abortion was never one of them. Not until Roe, at least.
It is estimated that more than 63 million babies have been aborted since Roe. That’s more than the combined population of Florida and California. Recent CDC numbers show nearly 630,000 abortions in 2019 – meaning 195 abortions per 1,000 live births.
Abortion has never been a rare procedure since legalization, and the activists who led the fight to legalize abortion for 50+ years prior to (and after) Roe would be proud of that fact. Recall the words of Margaret Sanger, who preferred state-mandated sterilization of populations and races she considered inhuman: “we prefer the policy of immediate sterilization, of making sure that parenthood is absolutely prohibited to the feeble-minded.” Abortion was the means to terminate those who sterilization couldn’t prevent.
From the early days they believed progress required the death of “inanimate ‘unwanted’ children.”1 Leaders such as Dr. Alan Guttmacher, the former president of Planned Parenthood, saw abortion as a necessary tool to “achieve population control on the international stage.”2 He went so far as to support having the UN, via abortion and other measures, slow down the “reproductive rate” of developing countries – those places with what he dismissed as “the black man or the yellow man.”3
What resulted from Roe was, besides 63 million dead and America’s diminishing respect4 for human life, was the elevation of abortion to being a sacred act and a sacred right. Nancy Pelosi, when asked about her support for late-term abortion, described it as “sacred ground.” Planned Parenthood tells us “Abortion is sacred.” This denotes a religious aspect to abortion, with proclamations it is consecrated and holy, to be set apart and held in reverence for the worship of a god or deity. To which gods? The individual and the movement. Or Moloch.

Alan Guttmacher: “coercion” may be needed to reduce population 1/6/2015, 12:35:22 AM · by Morgana · 19 replies Clinic Quotes ^ | January 5, 2015 | Sarah Terzo Alan Guttmacher, once president of Planned Parenthood, in 1969: “I would like to give our voluntary means of population control full opportunity in the next 10 to 12 years. Then, if these don’t succeed, we may have to go into some kind of coercion, not worldwide, but possibly in such places as India, Pakistan, Indonesia…” Alan Guttmacher, The American Journal of Nursing (June, 1969).

Just as the Constitution intended.
But don't' forget, before the feds bullied their way into forcing abortions, generally the states had anti-abortion laws that the feds illegally abolished.
We don't know what's going to happen but it is reasonable to believe the states will generally go with anti-abortion laws.
It's not a sure thing, but it is up to the people of each state. One thing is for sure even though there is the possibility of some states making abortion legal: it can't be worse than the corrupt and bloody illegal feds forcing abortion on all the states.
Again, freedom isn't perfect but it's way ahead of whatever's in second place.
Well, we know the governors of Washington, Oregon, and California released a video statement today, saying their states would be a ‘safe haven’ for women who want to seek an abortion.
So, I’m thinking that they really have no idea what could happen. We know that Almighty God does NOT like abortion, and they just allied themselves against Him.
Just off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California, there is something they all seem to have forgotten about: the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Runs from Vancouver Island to the northern part of the San Andreas Fault. Same type of fault that let go in 2011 in Japan.
All God has to do is tap His mighty finger on it, and...
Ever hear of a “Full 9 Rip”? that’s where the whole thing lets go . and it actually happened in 1700. Imagine a 9.0 or higher earthquake all up and down the coast...of Washington, Oregon, and the northern part of California.
Just sayin’.
Exactly. This could go either way.
Which means Biden will order Federal Funds to not be sent to States where abortion isn’t legal.
It feels to me like big pharma & their lobbyists wanted to corner the market on abortion through pills, by eliminating competition in operations.
