The only way people can get what they demand in this matter is through presidential elections and hoping for openings on the court to be filled with proper justices who can read the Constitution. Seven unemployed lawyers in black dresses set out a law in clear violation of constitutional principles, violating every notion of “representative government” and the result has been the legalized murder of 50 million Americans and an unsettled government ever since.
I think we agree that the Roe vs Wade decision was a seriously flawed legal decision. But packing the supreme court to bring about a reversal doesn’t seem to be what will satisfy the country. Certainly, all of those who demand legal abortions will not simply go away. We would be swapping one ongoing controversy for another. A national vote on the matter, while not making all happy, would clear the air, so to speak and those left unhappy would have to face the fact that the majority has spoken.
