Why is Rich Lowry writing about this explosive subject now?
Roe V. Wade was a travesty of human life costing 80 millions lives. Is is far worse that the holocaust or the even greater stalinist starvation of 10 million land owners or the grand daddy of them all— the 50 millions deaths in China inflicted by Mao Tse Tung. At least know that it will soon end. Praise God.
Murder isn't even unconstitutional. It is (or was) a State issue.

More specifically, in stark contrast to the rights that the Founding States amended the Constitution to expressly protect in the Bill of Rights for example, please consider the following.
The 17th Amendment, in conjunction with RvW's fictitious constitutional right to have an abortion, guaranteed career senators an endless supply of reelection votes in exchange for endless unconstitutional abortion funding. This is because constitutionally low-information women voters have evidently never understood that the states have never expressly given the feds the specific power to tax and spend for abortion purposes.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In other words, unlike citizens having an express constitutional right like the 2nd Amendment which makes it relatively easy for patriots to protect their gun rights for example, career senators have to repeatedly fight tooth-and-nail to maintain a pro-abortion majority of activist justices on the Supreme Court in order to keep the phony “constitutional right” to have an abortion alive.
Consider constitutionally low-information Sen. Collins for example …

Roe v. Wade is the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision of the 20th century. What it says is that effectively an unborn person has no rights that it's mother is bound to respect.
Nominate an unapologetic Constitution loving American. Who will be our pre election Bork? We need another Trump like person for the times.

It’s a good article. Roe v Wade is terrible law.
But overturning it will probably stop 0 abortions. Being realistic, abortion is here to stay. Like murder and rape, I personally want there to be far less of them. But abortions would be here to stay even if all 50 states outlawed them.
Making RvW the cornerstone for nominating a judge to our Supreme Court, is beyond shortsighted...Protecting women's rights is horse puckie. RVW instead enables the sale of Baby Parts as one of the non-constitutional elements making the taxpayer party to this abomination. Snow and Murkowski only want the woman's vote...surely they are smart enough to see RvW is in it's entirety is Unconstitutional.
Special interests have no place in the SCOTUS.
