As important as abortion is, its not just Roe V. Wade that is part of this debate.

The Warren Court in the 60’s radically turned the Constitution into a “living document,” in the famous phrase of William O. Douglas”. “specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance.”

In sum, the court can impute any rights it wants. “Privacy” means killing one’s baby and “equal protection” means men can use women’ bathrooms.

This extremist view of the Constitution needs to change first before Roe V. Wade will change.

It was built one case at a time over decades. It must be overturned one case at a time.
