This critical decision belongs in the hands of the people.

You have no understanding of the natural rights, natural right, natural law basis of this republic, I'm sorry to say.

Unalienable means unalienable. These are rights given by our Creator, not by any man, and therefore not rightfully alienable by any man.

The founders of this free republic understood this intimately, and in fact premised our entire form of government upon that understanding.

Sorry, my God-given rights are NOT up for a vote.

No government, no individual, has any right to legislate, act, or adjudicate against God-given, unalienable rights. All they have is the sworn duty to protect them within their lawful jurisdiction.

I think you misunderstood my point, which is a more practical one. The issue I was raising was that the Supreme Court took it upon itself to determine what is human life and when does it begin, and then stretched it out farther and farther to cover health of the mother and other cases.

I am in agreement that Roe v. Wade is unconstitutional and should be overturned for the same reasons you give. The challenges, however in the practical world, do not end there. Just as been the case with capital punishment, the 8th amendment always is used to challenge sentences handed down by the states, but the laws are ultimately made by the states, much closer to the people. Still, life of the condemned is given far more protection than that of an unborn baby.

We may argue on and on about God-given rights but if we do not have the control over right to life very close to us, they are stolen from us by rogue courts as was done in ‘72.
