Dred Scott wasn't "settled law" and neither is Roe v. Wade.

Dred Scott wasn't "settled law" and neither is Roe v. Wade.

It was also handed down two days after a presidential inauguration.

[Gay State Conservative]

How ironic that a descendant of the victim of the Supreme Court's second most infamous decision is working to fight its most infamous one.

After Hillary's speech ..... how does she now double back on the "pro-choice" crowd??

[stockpirate]

This is great news. Little by little, bit by bit.

I would say that the most infamous SCOTUS decisions in order are, Roe v. Wade, Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson. However, I think ultimately the most harmful one is the first major decision, Marbury v. Madison, because it was the court adjudicating itself unconstitutional powers in this case that resulted in the other travesties.

Oh boy, liberals are NOT going to know how to respond to this. Heehee.

Martin Luther King's niece is also a very vocal opponent of abortion.

so appropriate....

It's an ocean of support against the abortion movement ... only there's no winds to push the waters to show the vastness of the current.

The March 6, 1857 Dred Scott decision ruled that any person descended from black Africans, whether slave or free, is not a citizen of the United States, according to the U.S. Constitution. Blacks, the ruling said, were "beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect."

OMG, some things shock you to read even though you knew about it before. It's one of those things that never loses that "punch in the gut" effect.

Providence!

God love her for speaking out about something so incredibly obscene. Politics aside, it was the right thing to do.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Oh boy, liberals are NOT going to know how to respond to this.

Bush tortutred this woman and implanted some type of right-wing homing device in her.

[Pinkbell]

LOL! It wouldn't surprise me if a liberal said that. ;-)

Usually the pro-choice feminazis say that these African Americans that tie it to slavery or feminists for life are confused because in their minds pregnancy is a form of slavery. They believe it is comparable to slavery if a woman can't control who is in her uterus. To me the argument is ridiculous.
