Pro-life/pro-baby ping... (still without my ping list).
" --- This is the very essence of the rule of law. No human institution has the final and supreme power to determine what the law is. Otherwise, the rule of law would be reduced to the rule of those who possess such final and supreme power."
He then goes on at length to establish, in effect, that fertilized human eggs are not seen as 'persons' under our rule of law, -- and concludes:
" -- Obviously, this problem could be resolved if Congress acted by declaring that human life begins at conception -- "
Thus, his conclusion contradicts his own previous argument: "-- No human institution [Congress] has the final and supreme power to determine what the law is. --"
Congress has never been granted the power to declare that human life begins at conception.

It's a human life NOT an exception and women DO suffer from abortions.
So, what do we do now, urge our congress to use Article III section 2 of the US Constitution to limit the scope of the SCOTUS or have them introduce a human life amendment?
Interesting reading. I copied it and want ot go over it a bit. Good luck, finding a president and prosecuters who would have the courage to employ the course of action this article suggests.
Change must come from the bottom and percolate up, not the other way around. You can't legislate a change of heart. We have the truth on our side, and the shock needed to sway enough of the populace to effect precisely the changes needed in the law.
For now, let it be noted it may be time for a tactical shift away from incrementalism toward punctuated equilibrium on our side. The pro-abort/pro-death crowd has been bending society incrementally, getting us used to their ideas gradually. Euthanasia is current, and the emerging one is embryonic stem-cell research.
Abortion by now lies entwined as an integral part of modern American culture. We need a shock: Show people what abortion is. With the American obsession with TV, show one! We have shows on breast implantation and heart surgery. Why not show the most common surgery in America? What are you afraid of Hollywood?
EDUCATION will provide the shock we need.
It seems that the black-robed reprobates inhabitating the USSC have always had a problem in determining what constitutes "personhood."
In 1857, they said, in Dredd Scott, that those with African heritage were not to be considered as "persons," but rather "property."
I have never come across evidence that the USSC has ever changed its feeble mind on that issue.
