Texas abortion law must prevail | News, Sports, Jobs - Altoona Mirror
It is quite interesting how Democrats, abortion rights activists, some conservatives who opt to use the term pro-choice (code for abortion); and the flying chimpanzees in the national media, are so quick to cite a violation of the Constitution when the subject is abortion.
Indeed, Louis Mollica’s Nov. 26 letter speaks to his belief that originalism cast aside when the U.S. Supreme Court modified the already disastrous ruling in Roe v. Wade, speaks to this very point. While Mollica demonstrates he is cut from the cloth of the abortion horde, he simply blurts out a theory without hesitation and understanding.
In this theory, legal text(s), and the Constitution itself are to be used in determining the “law of the land.” (I for one, have never found this “right” to murder the innocent anywhere in the Constitution).
Nonetheless, the murderers of children would have us believe abortion is a “fundamental right.”
However, a close examination of the genesis of unfettered access to abortion contradicts this premise. Indeed, the facts clearly demonstrate this “right” arose from nothing more than a sleight-of-hand by the Supreme Court and, not surprisingly, the pure egotism of its members
In a case prior to Roe, Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), Justice William O. Douglas was at a loss to locate any comprehensive right to privacy in the Constitution.
But, alas, he tapped his inner explorer and discovered a “penumbra” was hiding in the Bill of Rights.
As a result of this unprecedented discovery, Justice Douglas determined there were “emanations,” which pointed to an extra-constitutional “zone of privacy,” which inexplicably morphed into a “right of privacy” by substitution of words.
This astounding discovery is extremely amazing, for at the time this principle apparently was overlooked by legal scholars for over 150 years.
Unfortunately, by the time Roe made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, there were a litany of cases for which the concurring justices could use, in addition to their wordsmithing skills, to determine the right to abortion.
It is time for this chaotic practice of abortion on demand be relegated to the dust bin of history; be removed from control of the federal government; and most of all, let the states decide what they want for their citizens.
And for these reasons, but above all the slaughter of unborn children, the state of Texas must prevail in the case of Whole Woman’s Health et al. v. Austin Reeve Jackson, Judge, et al.
