His challenge (”if he can name a single justice on the current U.S. Supreme Court who has ever acknowledged that the unborn child has a right to life, whether in a majority opinion or a dissent.”) is a “When did you stop beating your wife?” challenge.

He uses the word “current” to exclude Rehnquist.

He uses the phrase “in a majority opinion or a dissent” to exclude any extraneous writings or speeches.

He knows full well that there have been very few abortion cases brought before the Supreme Court since 1973 for the very reason that a losing case reinforces Roe v Wade.

Therefore, until you have a winning case, you don’t keep providing ammunition to the opposition by bringing losing cases.

He also knows that a judge who issues an opinion on science as a matter of law will likely never be considered for a position on the Supreme Court.

That of course is the fatal flaw of Roe v Wade (opinion on science as law) and he knows it. That is why Justices like Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito are so dangerous to Roe v Wade. They judge the law based upon the law and not opinions of Science.

What this guy wants is for them to make the same mistakes liberal judges did in 1973 and make a judgement based upon an opinion of science.

Of course, my opinion is that the “American Right to Life” is a shadow organization meant to discredit the “National Right to Life”.

American Right to Life is composed of some of the best pro-life leaders in this country.

They just put a Personhood Amendment on the ballot in CO for November, with more than 50,000 signatures to spare.

"National Right to Life" "discredited" itself quite a long while ago.
