What's At Stake (Roe vs. Wade)
Just One Judge ^

Posted on 10/25/2008 5:05:15 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Why just one judge? Because the nine justices on the U.S. Supreme Court only get there when the officials YOU elect appoint and confirm them.

The next Senate and President will appoint and confirm the one justice who will be the deciding vote on whether to overturn Roe v. Wade...to restore the Constitutional guarantee of Life, or to allow the killing of innocent unborn children to continue.

This election is America's last hope in this generation to reverse Roe v. Wade and send the issue back to the states, so citizens can lobby their state legislatures for laws allowing for parenetal notification and the discontinuance of the brutal practice of late term abortions.

Today's U.S. Supreme Court is just ONE appointment away from determining the critical matters of life. Your vote is your choice in who the next Supreme Court justice will be. Your ONE vote could be the difference on November 4.

Anyone with any level of understanding of the Constitution will know that there is no right to an abortion there, not even an implied one. It is clearly neutral on the issue because it has nothing to say about it.

In 1973, seven men in black robes conjured a “right” out of thin air to suit their own personal and political agenda. The Left is obsessed with upholding that ruling, even amid growing evidence that it was based on false asumptions.

one thing is for sure: if gore or kerry won, the Supreme Court would have been hopeless because rehnquist and o’connor would have been replaced with liberals

Yep. Elections matter.

However, the Roe v. Wade horse is so far out of the barn that it’s on another PLANET by now. I don’t ever see it being repealed.

I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it. The murderous masses of abortionists will fight long and hard for this gravy train.

Anyone have statistics about how much MONEY abortions generate each year? That has GOT to be the only reason for this. It’s absolutely insane. It’s like gambling ($85 BILLION a year in revenues) or porn or alcohol or tobacco.

We have it because it’s making BIG money for someone.

Until abortion stops equaling revenue, it will remain. :(

Geez, even Russia limits abortions to 12 weeks now why is it still legal at any time here?

Many misunderstand the what will happen if Roe v Wade is overturned. Most think it means an end to abortion in the US, it doesn’t. What happens is each state will then decide what their position is on abortion. Liberal states will have a liberal abortion law.

There are many states that still have anti-abortion laws on the books. They just stopped enforcing them when the Supreme Court declared these laws unconstitutional in 1973. The minute Roe V. Wade is overturned, these laws will have full force and effect once again.

I've seen this election, from the beginning, as most important in two areas; the prosecution of the War on Terror, and of appointments to the Supreme Court. I knew that the Democrat would never be strong on the War, and that whoever the Democrats put up would appoint liberals to the Court who would want to legislate from the bench, changing the social structure of this great country.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg and John Paul Stevens would probably like to retire, but didn't want to do so when Bush was President, because they knew that he'd appoint someone who didn't share their liberal views. Obama would certainly appoint Justices who are as liberal, or more, than either of those two. McCain would not, so even though he wasn't my favorite (I was a Fredhead) I WILL vote for him, and since he chose Sarah Palin as his Veep nominee, I will do so enthusiastically!

In this political season, it's time for the life issue to become the battle cry!

Creator-endowed right to life and liberty is the foundation upon which this nation was founded.

If a nation devalues that concept, basing an individual's right to life and liberty on judicial fiat and a woman or girl's decision, then where is the security for liberty for any?

The elephant in the room in this election is the Radical Left's absolute determination that it, alone, will decide who sits on the Supreme Court of the United States! They talk about "change," they talk about war, they talk about everything else, but the "elephant" is the question of the unfettered right of a woman to destroy her unborn child. To the Left, this is a declared war on all opposition.

It is time for John McCain to clarify the singular importance of the life issue, and the threat to liberty if Obama carries out the Left's agenda. Soft pedaling this issue, as if it is just a personal preference, overlooks a far more significant principle.

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."- Thomas Jefferson

"The world is different now. . . . And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God."- JFK, Inaugural 1961

Roe v Wade? It doesn’t matter if it is overturned. The net effect would be that the issue would return to the states. Most states would either have legal abortion or would be within a bus ride of a state that did. If you want to win this one, it has to be one pregnancy at a time.

Yes they will. Whenever I address this issue with a lib they always reply that abortions will no longer be availible anywhere. They are clueless concerning the issue of state rights.

Each state would modify their abortion laws as the voters of each state votes.

O’Connor might have stayed. Despite being ‘moderate’ she didn’t want a dem President replacing her.

Liberal Kennedy appointee Byron White put it best.

“I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court’s judgment. The Court simply fashions and announces a new constitutional right for pregnant mothers and, with scarcely any reason or authority for its action, invests that right with sufficient substance to override most existing state abortion statutes.”

That’s what I’m saying...even if the States take back the “right” to abort or not, one way or another, they’re going to find ways to make a buck off of it and the money just moves around.

Until the PROFIT of killing babies is “overturned” we’ll always have abortion; legal or illegal.

“Until abortion stops equaling revenue, it will remain. :( “

You’re no doubt right, but the practice can be limited and reduced. If the issue goes back to the states, some states will severely restrict it, and some lives will be saved. And the good example they set will be noted elsewhere.

And aside from the life issue, the fact is that Roe v. Wade is bad Constitutional law. It’s one of the most flagrant examples of judges creating law through judicial fiat. Throwing it out will have a positive effect on our legal system.

I can’t disagree with that!
