1/17/2005 Supreme Court receives case to overturn Roe v. Wade (Forward to your pro-life friends)

On January 18, the U.S. Supreme Court will begin a process that could overturn Roe v. Wade! Because you have stood with the Center for Reclaiming America on pro-life issues, I wanted to alert you to this news. On January 18, Norma McCorvey (the original "Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade) will file a legal appeal with the Supreme Court to have Roe v. Wade reversed. I will be in Washington, D.C., on that day to stand with our friends at The Justice Foundation in support of this case. The Justice Foundation has invested thousands upon thousands of hours in this case. They have gathered an enormous body of evidence to support Norma's case. Chris, this is a powerful opportunity to refute Roe v. Wade! Here is how you can help. First, notify your friends. Forward this message to everyone you know. We simply must get the word out. Second, please pray for Norma and the team at The Justice Foundation. Set aside time on January 18, specifically, to pray. Third, find out more about this case and how you can impact The Justice Foundation’s efforts here: http://www.operationoutcry.org Thank you!

Empty Playgrounds
A poem by Miss Norma McCorvey
The former Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade
Director, Crossing Over Ministry

I sit across from a playground that I visited this eve with a small child.
I know of such places where children play.
I know that I am the cause of them not being here today.
These playgrounds for "innocent children" now dead because of sins I helped do.
I hope, Lord, that the wonderful playground is well guarded with angels.
Angels who will protect them keep them happy and safe.
Angels who will make them smile and laugh.
So that when that glorious day comes; the children will not hold "the sin" against me.
For every time I see a playground empty, I will know that yours will be full.
The sun is now setting, and my heart hurts, Lord.
For the numbers who from abortion have been torn apart.
I pray you can put them back together and make them whole.
If you like, Lord, use my body to make your precious children whole again.
I ask you to do this not only for them, Lord, but also for the love I have for each of them.
Lord, God, you gave your only Son, and He died and shed His blood for us.
All I did was give my baby away so that "women could tear theirs apart."
For this I will never be able to look in your face out of shame.

WOW !

[Salvation]

Hadn't you ever read her poem before?

[davidosborne]

No.. this is the first I have seen it..

[STARWISE]

LOL!!

[davidosborne]

Do you think it will really happen?

[Smartass]

Let's just hope and pray it all comes to pass.

THANKS FOR THE PING

A child is a gift, not a choice

[STARWISE]

I know miracles happen ... I pray one does for the sweet innocents and the often-concealed risk of breast cancer for the woman, but my head says the chances are slimmer than slim. Look at the perfect platform for HillaryBeast, eh? I sure keep praying.

From a freind via email: FOUR are required to grant cert. I can see 3 wanting to overturn, but I can't see a fourth. Why would a fourth take the case, unless UPS just delievered a missing conscience. They can't do more damage than they already have. What else can the 3 with a conscience say in dissent? I wager cert denied. If otherwise, it may be interesting. I haven't followed the the case at all, so I can only speculate. WND supposed to have details later today. This is a publicity case, and catharsis for those women. I mean, why not? Absent divine intervention its a sure loser, but these women come clean in every way. And I think some of these women have been involved in pro-life for several years doing many different things. They probably just see this approach as another way to involve themselves, and are probably totally unaware of other Constitutional approaches. They do what the lawyers suggest, and the lawyers suggest federal law that dosen't effect Roe, along with long-shot court cases. That is what lawyers do, and since the citizens know that only the lawyers understand the Constitution, they never bother to look at it.

Just a couple thoughts..

Does anyone recall the results of the liberal attempts to get at Rush Limbaughs medical records?

The reason I ask is I viewed this as a stupid move by liberals who seemed so blinded by their zeal to get Rush that they appeared to be willing to lose abortion to get him.

Roe V Wade did not make abortion legal. In Missouri, for instance, to cause the death of an unborn fetus thru the use of an instrument is a felony. However, abortions are impossible to prosecute as Roe V Wade said the privacy... the Doctor/patient confidentiality... was paramount. Since prosecutors could not obtain doctor records, and could not force doctors or nurses to testify, it was an unprosecutable crime.

If liberals COULD get Rush Limbaughs records, would that not, in effect, overturn Roe V Wade?

[davidosborne]

Overturning Roe v. Wade will NOT end ALL legal ABORTIONS, it will be up to the States to decide the issue. It is only a STEP in the right direction.

[davidosborne]

Hmmm...

I've been on the periphery of the group, and firmly believe that everyone involved is totally sincere. And I pray for at least 4 judges who will agree to hear arguments, possibly to re-evaluate the "penundrums" and the beginning of human life.

We are already way behind on life issues. Scientists are inventing new ways to create lives that will be killed for research and for their parts - as though human life is valuable only for its utility to others.

We must win these battles. We must show the public the human brain cells that have been inserted in mice, the chimeras of mixed human and pig or other mammal DNA, the vats of human embryos that are being used to test drugs and medical treatments. We must teach the world that human lives are valuable and that every life that originated from human parentage is to be treated as possessing inalienable rights - as our children.

I remember the day of the decision. I protested at the Capital of Kansas. I was 13. 6 years later, I stood by my convictions and did NOT have an abortion. Several of my friends had abortions, and thought I was nuts not to do the same. I gave birth to a full term, healthy baby boy. I chose life, and adoption, not abortion. I am not ashamed. I made a big mistake, but I didn't make an innocent child pay for my mistake with his life. I pray for those who did make that mistake, and for the innocent babies who died because of it. Abortion needs to END! RIGHT NOW!

The appeal isn't about, nor will SCOTUS see it as being about, abortion - it's about whether or not the District of North Texas & 5th Circuit Courts properly applied Rule 60(b).

Federal District Court of North Texas ruled that the motion was not made within a reasonable amount of time, and 5th Circuit ruled that, because the laws under which the original suit was brought are no longer operative, the issue is moot. Tough to argue with either ruling.

The "newly discovered evidence" reason in subparagraph (2) is out by definition, given the 1 year limitation expressly delineated in 60(b).

I can't imagine the Court will see anything other than that both lower courts properly applied 60(b).

Bad choices by the plaintiffs. Publicity case, as you put it, indeed. Expensive, time consuming, and counter-productive.

From a freind via email: FOUR are required to grant cert. I can see 3 wanting to overturn, but I can't see a fourth. Why would a fourth take the case, unless UPS just delievered a missing conscience.

"I've been on the periphery of the group, and firmly believe that everyone involved is totally sincere......."

I have absolutely no doubt about that. They want the killing to end like the rest of us. But you know the 9 on the court, 3 for life and 6 for death. I simply cannot imagine any of those 6 taking the case.

Converting the court is a very remote long shot and that is why I have been pushing for Ron Paul's legislation. It's surprising that none of the other Pro-Life reps joined to cosponsor. This is much more realistic than converting the courts and it protects marriage and Religious liberty. So why won't Pro-Life Bush & Co. champion it?

Thanks for that info.

What do you think about Rep. Ron Paul's legislation on this matter?

We the People Act (HR 3893)- Prohibits the Supreme Court and each Federal court from adjudicating any claim or relying on judicial decisions involving: (1) State or local laws, regulations, or policies concerning the free exercise or establishment of religion; (2) the right of privacy, including issues of sexual practices, orientation, or reproduction; or (3) the right to marry without regard to sex or sexual orientation where based upon equal protection of the laws.
