No single decision in American jurisprudence has resulted in more damage to the American people than Roe v. Wade.

The damage count is rapidly approaching 50 MILLION victims.

"When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less," said Humpty Dumpty. "The question is," replied Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," replied Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."

Indeed....

Roe v Wade has been one the most corrupt, corrosive and destructive gross distortion of our constitutional jurisprudence in the history of this nation.

Would further argue that the case inadvertently destroyed small government republicanism. Big government religious voters who couldn't stomach the left's embrace of Roe V Wade migrated to the GOP. While electoral success, esp in the Bible Belt, for the GOP has been one consequence, the newly minted GOPers still held on to their love of do goodism by government force. "Compasionate Conservatism" is the inevitable consequence which is harmful to the GOP and to the country.

And Humpty Dumpty was himself an egg. An egg makes us think of an oval poultry product, firm and opaquely white, unable to tell us whether it contains a fully formed baby bird or just the ingredients for an omelette.

But the human egg (or embryo/fetus) is talking to us now through the ultrasound screen, something not as imaginable by the feminists in the 1970s. That little baby is kicking, rolling, and sucking its thumb into the hearts and minds of all Americans. One day soon all but the most beastly will agree: inside the woman's opaque round belly there grows a fully formed human being entitled to the rights we all enjoy.

That's near the end of pregnancy. I know, 3D ultrasound is amazing. But the new machines show such DETAIL to the 7-12 week EMBRYOS that even there, we are seeing some change in the hearts and minds.

"whether you can make words mean so many different things."

What kind of human mind must one have to be able to rationalize words to cause a moral wrong to become a legal right?

It's really quite simple to understand from a logic perspective. All it takes is an open mind. I was pro-life even when I was a dummycrat because I knew of the differences between a foetus and an embryo. I knew always that a foetus merited every protection of the law. Its only a matter of hours that distinguish an embryo from a foetus. So if a foetus deserves protection, so does an embryo. Similary backwards to a zygote and a blastosphere.

Now, as 4D photography becomes more compelling in furthering our argument, look for the baby killers to say that that photography hurts the babies.

I would argue that Bible believing Christians do not support government sponsored "do goodism". Charity comes from the hearts of individuals. Government sponsored charity cannot work because it has no heart, no soul. I cannot think of a single program that has actually worked as promised. Maybe someone can cite one.

If judges are given the ability to change the meaning of the text by making the words their servants, they will become the masters, not just of the words, but of the American people as well. If judges are to have the final say as to all things constitutional, if they can make the words mean whatever they choose them to mean—then the American people will have ceded ultimate authority to that single branch of government. The United States of America will no longer be a constitutional republic. It will be nothing more than a judicial oligarchy.

The fight against Roe, therefore, is more than a fight for the lives of the unborn. It is also a fight for the survival of our constitutional republic.

And so many people - self-styled conservatives even - are wont to assign to this issue equal weight to minimum wage, tax policy, and trade. I fear for the Republic.

Yeah, ultrasound affects their hearing potentially, some say. And that is WAYYY worse than the mercy killing of a D&C. They won't be able to keep that logic up for long (without the help of the lying MSM).
