There Is No Such Thing as the Right to Kill
American Spectator ^ | June 24, 2022 | Itxu Díaz

Posted on 06/26/2022 3:05:09 PM PDT by jcon40

As a columnist, my job is to get really angry at something and then sit back and rant a bit. Today I do so strangely happy, after hearing the news that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. The paradox of being a conservative is that we love to party, but have little to celebrate, at least lately. Today I will drink to life.

That the left continues to insist that the Constitution — it doesn’t matter if it’s the American one or any of the European Constitutions — guarantees anything even remotely resembling the right to abortion is insane. I don’t know of any Constitution that includes the right to kill, other than the Constitution of the Islamic State.

The author should have differentiated between “kill” and “murder.” There is no right to murder. But if someone breaks into my home, and wishes harm on me, or my family, I will kill him/her.

Is it too much to ask so-called conservative columnists to use the term “premeditated murder” instead of kill, abort, or even weaker terms? By extension, call those that get abortions and perform abortions, murderers - baby murderers.

Justice Thomas is a unique individual on the Supreme Court. He has made decisions that he disagreed with in his personal beliefs. But he made his decision based on constitutional law.

He is a great justice and defender of the constitution even though his decisions may go against his personal beliefs. He only considers constitutional law and nothing else.

He is a great justice of the Supreme Court and a worthy man to wear the mantel of out deceased justice Anthony Scalia.

Saul had more than a right to kill (Amalek), and he didn’t finish the task as commanded.

Exactly.

Killing in self defense versus murder. Two different things entirely.

Yep. Best line in the article.

But I liked this one too... “I will never understand why so many people agree to do to their babies what they would never allow to be done to their puppies.”

Betting the protestors would also protest ditching a whale’s unborn baby.

That’s why many say the translation of Thou Shall not Kill, should be Thou Shall not Murder.

I wonder if the pro abortion crowd thinks the very innocent child broke into the home (womb) of the woman who ordered his being into existence, along with his father’s order.
