1973 United States Supreme Court

“The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.” C. S. Lewis

Note that the only two who voted against the majority in Roe v Wade (against MURDERING babies) are on the right side of the photo. Rehnquist standing and White seated. Now isn’t that interesting

Roe v. Wade must be reversed

Bush needs to tell the states to ignore the ruling and to draft their own laws.

Congress needs to remove jurisdiction and remove a few judges, starting with the 9th circuit and moving laterally and vertically from there.

The article is spot on. The Court just made this up and legislated from the bench. Harry Blackmun was a very nice man, but a hopelessly muddled thinker who will go down in history as a terrible Justice.

Many think the Court did this to head off a nasty and divisive fight over legalizing abortion that was boiling up in the state legislatures. They thought this would settle the issue for good. What elitists don't get is that an issue is only settled legitimately in the minds of the people when it has been resolved through the democratic process and is open to revision in the future should majority feeling change. Rule by judicial fiat doesn't settle anything; thus, Roe opened a 30-year cultural civil war that rages on today.

Thanks for all the valuable information you post for Pro Life. This article is among the most significant I have seen. It will be making the rounds of my email contact list.

Last week Kate Michelman (NARAL-retiring chief abortion propagandist) spoke at the National Press Club. I have emailed NPC President asking when a Pro Life speaker will be invited to speak. I will let you know what I hear back.

Hello, to All !!! From PA_hayseed: I'm an ordinary man with a crude and unrefined idea, like iron ore fresh from the ground. As steel is made by first putting iron ore in a hot fire to burn away impurities and adding a few ingredients, then perhaps this raw idea could be forged into something that could overturn Roe v. Wade.
I'm all for property rights, and ownership of one's own body is a fundamental pillar of property rights. The "pro-choice" crowd considers a developing baby (they call it a fetus) in the womb nothing more than a wart, cyst, or growth --- just a fleshy parasite to be removed, cut away, whenever it becomes "inconvient".

(I believe) Forensic science has established in the courts that a 98.9% DNA match identifies a DNA sample to "someone", so if a wart, mole, cyst or any growth satisfies the 98.9% genetic DNA match with that person's DNA (use a blood sample for a control in the test), then the rights of ownership of one's own body kicks-in and that person is free to remove, excise, or cut away that mole, cyst, or growth.

But if that 98.9% match is not established --- a pre-born child would only have a 50% match (biologists out there, please advise), then that pre-born child would only be guilty of "simple trespass" (an example of "simple trespass" would be an invited guest refusing to leave after a party) according to the property rights of one's body. I believe that there are existing criminal laws already on the books that consider the act of killing someone, who is unarmed, for simple trespass, murder.

I realize that the moment of birth is now recognized as the beginning of a person's life, and only then would have the full protection of the law, but if the pre-born is already alive, and possesses his/her own unique human DNA, shouldn't the law's definition of personhood be revised? (I believe we're almost there now, Freeper Lawyers, please advise)

Please flame away ----- if, together, we can get the fire hot enough, we can make some good steel with which to forge a sword to slay the Roe v. Wade monster that was spawned thirty years ago.

Brilliant article ... thanks for posting.

Roe v. Wade is the perfect example of the corrupt liberal mentality: elitest, incoherent and selfish, all covered up by affectation.

In so many ways, abortion and the abortion culture are a mirror for a person's deepest impulses.

Cutting to the chase..........its just WRONG!! The God of Abraham whom they are trying to remove from this country says..."You reap what you sow." We have sown a blood bath of unborn murdered children, now we will watch the ones we chose to keep become murders of each other. You sow a spirit of murder, you will reap murder. As all the experts stand around scratching their heads wondering what has happened to this country and why is each generation so much more vicious, cold hearted and blood thirsty. We taught them.

"Bush needs to tell the states to ignore the ruling and to draft their own laws.

I agree completly. Just as important to ending the holocaust of abortion would be for our government to revoke
NSSM 200
National Security Study Memorandum 200
Blueprint for world de-population and western domination

Henry Kissinger as Secretary of State for Nixon signed the document. It was published in 1974 and declassified in 1989. NSSM 200 is the executive branch’s version of Roe v Wade applied on a global scale—but also for Americans.

The chief method promoted for “world de-population” is abortion. Roe was an opportunity for the US government to allow citizens to think they somehow have a “right” to abortion. This is much more effective than trying to force it on them. Americans hate “forced” or “coerced” abortions in “less civilized” nations but foolishly embrace the “freedom” for themselves to choose…(to dismember their own children and throw them in the garbage).

**Roe v. Wade is the perfect example of the corrupt liberal mentality: elitest, incoherent and selfish, all covered up by affectation.**

And all the more reason we need those judges nominated by President Bush approved and put into active courts!!

Thank you for the ping, I think. ... We the People have embraced murder of sequestered alive individual human beings as a 'reproductive right'. Those defending the indefensible have staked their political lives upon defending this evil and calling it good. Those voting to keep these evil supporters in office have lost the flicker of soul necessary to awaken to their support for evil. Those not supporting but not caring as long as the issue is not too close to their lives will not be moved to reject this evil. Those who see the evil exposed in all its hideousness are too few and too ... oh, never mind. America is about to get what it deserves anyway, so why beat the whinnying swayback. The sovereigns have abdicated their responsibilities to pursue bread and circuses, and the dnc is not going to release their stranglehold on power. The Pubbies are too wishy-washy to stand against the noisy evil supporters, so we just decline unto dissolution.

11. The concept of fetal viability is technology dependent. An 8 month fetus may not have been viable 100 years ago, but it is now. Likewise, a 5 month fetus may not be viable now, but may well be 100 years from now. Fundamental human rights are not technology dependent. Furthermore, by taking technology trends to their limit, the fetus becomes viable at conception.

12. The Preamble of the Constitution states:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Abortion fundamentally denies "our posterity" the rights guaranteed under that Constitution.
