Does this jackass realize that Griswold v. Connecticut was the forerunner of Roe V. Wade? Social engineering by the left?

Before Griswold v. Connecticut, people could get contraceptives if they really wanted to, but society didn’t approve of them. The idea was that people shouldn’t shack up with each other, but should wait and get married. Again, some people made mistakes, but society didn’t pat them on the back and say, “Good for you!”

In those days, most children had two parents, and there were few divorces. Yes, again, if you really wanted a divorce, you could get one. But society didn’t pat you on the back and say, “Go to it! You have a Constitutional Right to get Divorced, especially if you’re a woman!” You could do it, but people understood it wasn’t a good thing.

I’m getting sick of these pond slimes at NRO. They’ll say anything and do anything to see that their pro-abort, pro-gay, pro-socialist, serial liar Mitt Romney wins the nomination, even if they have to applaud the baby killers to do it.

Griswold was decided in 1965, as the sexual revolution was accelerating on the strength of the Pill. Most people who follow these things know that Roe was the bastard progeny of Griswold and Doe v Bolton as well. The fact remains that nobody argues with the legality of free availability and use of contraception.

If you want to go to war over that you will lose and lose badly. No military strategist I ever heard of thought Pickett's Charge was a good idea "in principle."

It’s a liberal trick to say that social issues are “settled issues.” The promiscuous use of birth control, easy divorce, gay marriage — all are now normal. All right-minded Americans have reached a consensus.

So, how dare you bring them up again, you troglodyte conservatives!

The so-called settled issues are destroying our social fabric, as you point out. Slavery was considered a settled issue once. Until somebody did something about it.
