CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 27, 2022
BY A 6-3 VOTE, THE SUPREME COURT HAS OVERTURNED TWO OF THE MOST UNJUST LAWS IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY – ROE VS. WADE AND PLANNED PARENTHOOD VS. CASEY.
WRITING FOR THE MAJORITY, JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO STATED THE OBVIOUS: THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT FOR A WOMAN TO KILL HER UNBORN CHILD. HARRY BLACKMUN, WHO WROTE THE ROE MAJORITY DECISION IN 1973, SAID THE CONSTITUTION CONTAINED WHAT HE CALLED A “PNUMBRA” UNDER THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY PROVISION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT. IN ONE SENSE ROE WAS LIKE A 19TH CENTURY COURT DECISION THAT GAVE PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO OWN SLAVES. THAT, TOO, WAS EVENTUALLY OVERTURNED.
THIS IS THE LEGACY OF DONALD TRUMP, WHO NAMED THREE OF THE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES WHO VOTED WITH THE MAJORITY.
WHAT NOW? STATES LIKE COLORADO, WHICH ALLOW ABORTION ON DEMAND, WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. SOME STATES AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS WILL PROVIDE MONEY TO FLY PREGNANT WOMEN FROM STATES WHERE ABORTIONS ARE OUTLAWED, OR RESTRICTED, TO STATES WHERE THERE ARE NO LIMITS.
WE PRO-LIFERS SHOULD STEP-UP OUR SUPPORT FOR PREGNANCY HELP CENTERS AND TELL STORIES OF WOMEN WHO REGRET HAVING HAD ABORTIONS AND THOSE THAT CHANGED THEIR MIND AND DELIVERED THEIR CHILDREN. WE SHOULD ALSO FEATURE STORIES OF THOSE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE BORN. AND PRAY AND REPENT FOR THE 60 MILLION BABIES WHO HAVE UNJUSTLY DIED. I’M CAL THOMAS.
