Thoughts on 49 Years of Roe v Wade
Before 1973 and the Roe v Wade decision, there were thirty states in which abortions were illegal. That all changed when the Supreme Court struck down the laws in those 30 states and made abortion on demand legal and a "constitutional right" in all 50 states. Legal scholars on both sides of the issue agreed that Roe was decided wrongly. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 63,459,781 babies have been aborted as a consequence of this decision. We have been witness to a holocaust right under our very nose for 49 years. A national industry of slaughterhouses aka Planned Parenthood sprung up to provide abortions on demand. Techniques were experimented with to provide the least amount of damage to sought after fetal tissues that were then sold to tissue banks for further distribution and sale to the scientific research community, a lucrative sideline for the abortion provider and banks.. Never before has there been a more heinous dehumanization and callous disregard of human life victimizing such a vulnerable population (the unborn) in history.
Friday, June 24th, 2022 things came to a screeching halt, Roe v Wade and Casey v Planned Parenthood were overturned in a landmark decision by the conservative justices on the SCOTUS. Dobbs v Jackson was the catalyst for overturning the wrongful decisions made so long ago. Abortion issues will now be decided at the state level. Women who make up greater than 50% of the voting population will have their say in electing pro-life or pro-choice legislators and governors in their respective states. The ball is in the court of the people to decide, not unelected judges. In a way it is a hollow victory, abortion is not going away overnight with this decision. It is, however, a legal victory for upholding the constitution and the rule of law.
Pro-Lifers, we need to roll up our sleeves, the fight has just begun! We need to define legislation to protect the rights of the unborn from conception to birth. This and nothing less should be our goal. The spilled blood of Abel cried out to the Lord and he heard. What does the sound of 63 million innocents crying out to the Lord sound like? I shudder to think about it.
