“The focus of the pro-life movement should be the governors. Since the Supreme Court decisions on abortion command the governors to act criminally, that is, not enforce their state abortion laws,it is up to the governors to nullify the Supreme Court decisions. And that should be the demand of the pro-life movement.”
I like this idea.
For several reasons - it brings to the forefront states’ rights, and has the potential to be quite effective. The current strategy sure isn’t working (yes, to some extent, but not enough).
I asked Judge Bork what he thought of this idea, and he said, “Of course,” looking at me as though I had just said the most obvious thing in the world.
A few weeks after Roe and Doe, the bishops’ conference issued a statement saying [quoting from memory]: “It is the obligation of all public officials, at every level of government, to carry out the duties of their office AS IF THESE DECISIONS DID NOT EXIST.”
That is a statement of Catholic doctrine. That statement logically entailS nullification by every federal and state official. In fact, it logically entails a Nuremberg trial for every governor (even the “pro-life” ones) who has held office since 1973.
The bishops have NEVER made such a statement again. The pro-abortion bishops like Bernardin have dominated the public stage, and formulated the bishops’ policies ever since. They DID NOT FORESEE THAT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE MOST PRO-ABORTION PRESIDENT IN HISTORY MIGHT BE DANGEROUS.
