“The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a ‘person’ within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.”
— Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973
Indeed. Basing a life and death ruling on “penumbras and emanations” was nothing short of shameful
So was Blackmun laying the foundation for Roe v.Wade's eventual overturn?
It's pretty easy to realize in 2013, as it was in 1973 that a "fetus" is a person.
Even 40 years ago they would try to save premature newborns.
Not something usually done to "clumps of tissue" or a diseased appendix.
The ruling is also a disappointment to a degree, Ginsburg said, because it was not argued in weighty terms of advancing women’s rights.
And there, her own words recorded in print, is why this person should NOT be on the Supreme Court
;;;;;;;;;;;;;\\
On the other hand it also means that she’s not going to support the advancement of the homosexual agenda by judicial review
It’s self-evident that a child is a human person.
The only thing we lack are officers of government who will simply fulfill their primary duty, which is to protect them.
Roe is moot.
Yes, when I took a minute to read the actual opinion I couldn’t believe what a pathetic joke it is. They’re going to make their stand on this lame decision? I look forward to the day when we can stomp the liberals’ faces in it. I’m sure Ginsberg isn’t the only liberal who knows how fragile their position is. We’re going to win the abortion issue — it’s just a matter of time.
She’s a little muppet like Dr Kermit except he is still relevant until his verdict.
Is she checking her Heaven ticket?
I Imagine it’s one way Down!
Those who bleat about “a woman’s right” are trying to chase the horse after it has already left the barn.
If women really had rights, they’d get to keep the barn door closed.
All those who voted to overturn hundreds of years of law, tradition and human decency and say they found Roe V Wade in the constitution deserve nothing less than the death penalty performed by an evil Dr. tearing them into pieces.
I don’t know if their souls can even be saved at this point. I suspect they have been given over to depravity.
In addition to their depravity, they are provably liars as there is no way they can find the right to abortion in the Constitution. Knowing that, they just made it up out of penumbras.
That presumes that she is not going to be a hypocrite.
Intellectual consistency is not something that judicial activist liberals have ever considered to be any sort of limitation on their power to legislate from the bench.
Roe v Wade is the most illogical, irrational, illegal, and immoral opinion I ever read. Far worse than Dred Scott.
Blackmun was possessed by Old Scratch.
