Too bad the women supremes can't get pass their sex.
Time to overturn Roe.
...just thinking...that might be the spark that ignites the violent culture war that everyone here seems to think will happen...at one time I just passed that off as overblown rhetoric, but now I’m not so sure, what with demographic changes and all...
I heard on radio this morning that liberal pundits were pointing out that the decision came out on the gender divide.
Their conclusion is that, basically, it is about the mens’ war on women.
That is such a lie.
What the gender split on the ruling actually suggests is that it is more likely that a hedonistic liberal woman will seek and find a highly visible judgeship (unseating the traditional man’s role) in today’s culture (or lack thereof) than one who is a God-fearing conservative.
The God fearing women just aren’t seeking to overturn tradition. Nor are they being sought by the powers that be for traditionally male roles today. (Acceptions permitting.)
The major ruling of Roe actually has been reversed - although nobody would be willing to admit it. The central ruling was that the 14th Amendment’s use of the word “person” means “legal person” and not “biological person”.
For almost 100 years the courts had made rulings as if the 14th Amendment gave citizenship to Blacks, but if the word “person” means “legal person”, then it never applied to Blacks because Blacks had already been declared by SCOTUS to be LEGAL non-persons, in Dred Scott.
And then in 1973 along came Roe, which in effect overruled those other rulings by claiming that the 14th Amendment DIDN’T apply to “legal non-persons” such as Blacks and (as they ruled in Roe) fetuses.
Since 1973 there have been SCOTUS rulings based on the understanding that the 14th Amendment DOES apply to Blacks though. Those rulings refused to acknowledge and accept Roe’s new interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
So what we’ve got is the 1973 Roe decision claiming the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to “legal non-persons”, surrounded by 100 years before it and 41 years after it where the SCOTUS-ruled “legal non-persons” (Blacks) are presumed to have the 14th Amendment apply to them.
The way to challenge Roe v Wade, IMHO, is to claim that some Black person has no citizenship because Roe decided that the 14th Amendment’s use of the word “person” means “legal person” and the Dred Scott decision that Blacks are legal non-persons has never been overturned.
Nobody would be willing to do that because the media would present the filer as a racist, when in reality the filer would simply be taking the Roe decision’s claims seriously so that the court is forced to admit that Roe is dead wrong - which all the judges/justices already know, as evidenced by SCOTUS’ refusal to consider that totally new interpretation of the 14th Amendment when considering “civil rights” cases.
