It is way beyond time to enable the states to overturn scotus decisions.

A few liberals have admitted to me that another reason they support Roe is because they believe it eliminates poor minorities who tend to commit more crimes.

Roe protected almost all abortions from the democratic process

I hate this meme. The right to life is God-given. That's why it is called UNALIENABLE. To think it should be left up to any "democratic process" is to display ignorance of the cornerstone principle of American self-government and liberty.

In 1793 Thomas Malthus said that food supply could never keep up with population growth. He was wrong then and has been wrong since. But his idea lives on in liberalism today. Economics says that where there is a demand there will be a supply. As long as we’re allowed to burn cheap energy the supply will always be there. The current increase in food cost and the lower supply is due to other liberal policies; paying people not to grow, alcohol in gas and other idiotic money transfer schemes. The danger to population is due to liberalism not food supply.

The way to reduce that population is to cut welfare payments for additional children. What abortion on demand has done is enable women who are capable of raising good kids to have abortions while doing nothing to reduce the tendency of welfare queens to have large numbers of uncared-for kids just so they can get the associated welfare benefits. Abortion on demand is increasing the ratio of dysfunctional to functional kids among all races. It is profoundly dysgenic.

An individual state cannot make the murder of a ten year old child legal and states should not be allowed to make the murder of pre-born children legal.

We must fight for a Pro Life Amendment to the US Constitution and ends all murder of babies after the moment of conception.

This is an example of why the Constitution should be viewed and handled in a strict originalist manner. I am so tired of so called intellectuals trying to tell us what isn’t really there but should be.

If someone wants to amend it then do the work

All liberals are closet progressive eugenicist racist. History proves this to be true.

Bingo!
"...Ginsburg...said...Roe v. Wade went “too far, too fast.”
A telling statement.

The court's work of interpreting the Constitution should be a static, logical exercise, not a foot-race to some political nirvana envisioned by a very few who hold the power to force it on the population.

To be fair, Roe itself allowed for some state control of abortion after the first trimester. Subsequent interpretations and decisions are what created our present appalling complete lack of restrictions.

Wrong - the writer forgot to include Cuba in the list of countries where an abortion can be obtained at whim.

I had a black liberal say nearly the same thing. Only his logic was it would mean less people receiving entitlements (larger share of the pie), and lead to less criminals - since poor minorities are more likely to be criminals.

Oh yeah, it was also "unfair" for minority children to be forced to grow up in poverty - therefore it was just better to abort them.

- you can't debate with people like that

What abortion on demand has done is enable women who are capable of raising good kids to have abortions . . .

It has long been known that the only reason SCOTUS passed Roe v Wade was so rich women wouldn't have to go out of the country to get abortions. This happened to a distant relative.

And years of association with RINO Republican women revealed an ugly fact: they hated conservatives because of abortion guilt.

<....”only reason SCOTUS passed Roe v Wade was so rich women wouldn’t have to go out of the country to get abortions”....>

Statistics have proven this today as well...most obortions are not teenagers as Obama wants us to believe...in fact they are middle class and above ‘married’ women who simply don’t want their children.
