it should be up to the states to determine its policy regarding unborn life colored people and abortion slavery, not up to the court. Nothing in the Constitution authorizes the Court to make determinations about unborn life slavery and impose them on the states. [except where the Constitution USED to say that non-whites were worth less than white people]
Just something to consider. I don't wish to sidetrack the thread into a debate about the Civil War, as I do wish the issue could have been decided via the "state's rights" course, and indeed, I hope that abortion can be done so as well. I wouldn't mind if some states still allowed abortion, as long as others could outlaw it; this would make it (abortion) easier to contain, combat, and eventually destroy in all 50 states.
However, I will not be saddened in the least bit if we have a bit of "conservative judicial activism" (to use an oxymoron), with regards to abortion. Abortion is an inherent evil, just like murder: Sometimes, extremism is justified in resisting inherent evil, because if we "preserve the Constitution" above all else, by tolerating inherently evil acts, then the "Constitution" is worthless.
The constitution never said that. The average black chattel slave was worth far more than the average white citizen, especially those of Irish extraction.
It said they counted as 4/5 of a full person solely for the purposes of congressional representation, just another way to put the south down.
