But now the viability pretext was discarded

Great article. Actually Sobran is being too nice. The Court's malevolent plot to unleash the anarchy of mass abortion killing was absolutely premeditated. The whole grisly business began with outright lies and it has been propped up with deceit ever since, and they all know it. A majority of that Court has for a long time been comprised of some very evil, brutal, vicious people. They like to to be seen as humble servants of law and justice, but they are just the opposite. They have caused unimaginable pain and terror to untold millions, and so they too will experience what they brought upon others when they are brought before the bar of the Supreme Judge of the Universe, where there is no more appeal, and they will face His terrifying and righteous wrath and indignation. < /rant >

May God have mercy on their souls, and may God have mercy on our souls.

This is not constitutional.

Nearly three decades ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion is constitutionally protected. Ostensibly libertarian, the ruling was actually one of the most tyrannical acts in American history.

On another thread I commented that many otherwise well-meaning conservatives call themselves "Libertarian" because they have been hoodwinked into boarding a train conducted by scheming and evil people far more clever than they, the destination of which is a tyranny far different from what they ever imagined.

Roe v. Wade was just the first stop on the journey.

The Constitution didn’t have a single fixed meaning; it "evolved" over time.

The Constitution, with its Amendment process, is a 'living document'. It's meaning doesn't change over time, but what it actually says can be changed over time. The liberals can't even get that term right.

Still later, the pro-abortion -- alias "pro-choice" crowd decided that abortion, far from being a necessary evil, was a positive good, which the state should not only tolerate but support, encourage, subsidize, maximize. Taxpayers should be forced to pay for abortions. They should have no more "choice" than the child.

"Pro-abortion" people may very well have "decided" such a thing, but this section seems to imply that this is, in fact, the state of the law today. It is not. See, for example, Maher v. Roe, 432 US 464 (1977), and Harris v. McRae, 448 US 297 (1980).

" This fantastic ruling generated a new debate about the "original intent" of the Constitution. Liberals argued that "original intent" didn't matter or was unknowable anyway. The Constitution didn't have a single fixed meaning; it "evolved" over time. Any interpretation was bound to be more or less "subjective" – yet somehow the Court's subjective rulings had the binding force of law.

This amounted to saying that the Constitution means whatever today's liberal interpreters choose to say it means. If that were so, there would be no point in having a written constitution, or for that matter any written law. We would be defenseless against legal sophistry, especially the sophistry of self-aggrandizing power. That's the perfect prescription for tyranny, the opposite of the rule of law."

These two paragraphs bear repeating, time and time again.

Excellent piece. Did Bush mention abortion in his State of the Union speech last night? I'll bet Reagan did so in most of his.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

The court essentially pandered to perverts. It's no secret that The Playboy Foundation funded many of the abortion cases to change existing abortion laws. But now we have the more monstrous embryonic cloning industry emerging. How does that have anything to do with a woman's "right"?

Is "AU" American University? If so, are you as disgusted as I am at how farther to the left our alma mater becomes each and every year? I tear up every alum notice I receive.

The title should be changed from "How Killing Became a Right" to "How Murder Became a Legal Right."
