Who do you think you’re kidding? You can’t overturn Roe if you agree with its author’s central premise: that unborn children aren’t PERSONS. You’ve destroyed the moral, intellectual and legal basis that argues against abortion and euthanasia.

Even Blackmun conceded, in the text of Roe, that if they are PERSONS, they are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

So, tell us, are the unborn PERSONS?

If they are, they are protected by our Constitution on every square inch of American territory.

The focus of “pro-life groups” has been all wrong.

But, it’s a new day.

What kind of moronic question is that, EV?

Of course you can. The fact of the matter is that the SCOTUS wrongly decided to overturn a Texas law it had no business overturning and creating a right to privacy out of whole cloth.

You’ve destroyed the moral, intellectual and legal basis that argues against abortion and euthanasia.

But not against the right of a state to enact its own laws without interference from a SCOTUS that invents rights out of thin air.

Roe was wrongly decided, and as such it can be overturned.
