Plessy v Ferguson overturned by Brown v Board of Education

Abortion is a much greater wrong and it needs to be righted.

But, as noted by others, the Supreme Court can only give this decision back to the individual states. The Court cannot make abortion illegal.

Abortion isn't going to go anywhere because in their hearts, majority of Americans don't want it to go anywhere.

Everyone's pro-life until their teenage daughter gets knocked up. And that's the truth.

The nation must ask for it before congress and the courts follow through.

Brown v Board of Education

However, should be severely narrowed to restrict the unending destruction of actual education/educational opportunities in the name of "diversity".

If they determine a fetus is a legal person that would turn abortion into murder, period.

Actually, Plessy was NOT overturned by Brown, and the justices explicitly said so in their ruling.

The basis for their ruling was not equal protection, nor privileges and immunities.

The basis was "new discoveries in the social sciences" that (allegedly) found that CHILDREN were uniquely harmed by separation because in gave them a "badge of inferiority" which caused permanent harm.

Plessy was rendered moot by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which (if constitutional) made the rights of the State of Louisiana protected by Plessy null and void.
