I can understand a pragmatic position that outlawing abortion (by passing state laws) is unwise. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it.

I do not understand, and I can never accept, a view that there is a "right" to abortion which is guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

That's because the Constitution guarantees no such thing. Of course, the Constitution itself is unable to grant rights; we have those given to us by our Creator; the Constitution merely lists some of them so that the government can't infringe upon them.

Government is instituted among men, deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed so that the government can prevent the infringement of liberties and rights. One of these is the right to live, and therefore the govt is bound to protect the right to live of unborn children. So not only does our Constitution not grant any such right to abortion, our govt should be stopping it. At the federal level no less.

I have an idea:

What say we legalize Post Birth Abortion (PBA). We hurry up and abort all the liberals. Then we can outlaw all abortion with out any trouble.

Just an idea and I aint the first:


I think this is the greatest cartoon in the history of cartoons.
