Final Soluton to U.S. "Abortion Problem" is Clearly Laid Out in Contstitution Says Writer

FRONT ROYAL, Virginia, March 11, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Today's LifeSiteNews Special Report analyses the American Constitution and what is says about who has ultimate authority over U.S. laws concerning abortion. Rand Brown, a student at Christendom College in Front Royal Virginia states in his article that the final solution to the "Abortion Problem" lays "not where most pro-life Americans think it to be".

Brown relates that Congress "can overthrow a Supreme Court ruling precisely because it, and not the Judiciary, is the voice of the American people. As far as the inferior Federal courts are concerned, it is Congress' explicit right, as expressed in both Article I section 8 and Article III section 1 of the Constitution, to create and dissolve those circuits when it sees fit."

Brown relates why there exists "an apathetic and confused Congress" in Washington and why there is real hope that this will change in the future.

As for annual March for Life, which he attends every year, Brown states its emphasis on ending at the Supreme Court "grants the federal judiciary the very legislative legitimacy it wants us all to believe it possesses". He believes there are compelling reasons for the march to end at a different, much more appropriate location.

The US Constitution states that we are guaranteed LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. 'nuff said.

Ummm, no. Better re-read the document. It's not there.

Both political parties garner votes by keeping the issue alive

I agree in part (probably for different reasons that you). I may get flamed for this but I think the Republican pro-life plank hurts progress on legislation to curb or end abortions.

Personally, I think the GOP should adopt a plank that protects healthy, viable babies, and turns the rest of the restrictions over to the states.

But Phylis Schaffley and RTL would never let that happen.
