In his brilliant dissent, Judge Adrian Burke cites the Declaration, and declares that it has the force of law:

Dissents do not have the force of law, in fact they are "dissenting" against what the established (by the Court) law actually is.

LOL...the Fourteenth Amendment is the law. Judge Burke’s dissent jibes perfectly with that, and with every other fundamental element of our most precious founding principles of inalienable rights.

It was that particular stupid majority opinion that helped lead to Roe.

There is no hope for overturning Roe without the reestablishment of the principle that all persons, born and unborn, from conception until natural death, have the God-given right to live, as described in the Fourteenth Amendment and the Declaration of Independence.

Judge Blackmun, in the meat of the Roe decision, admitted that if the unborn were PERSONS, that they were thereby protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Do you think unborn babies are PERSONS?
