The most dangerous thing about Roe V wade is that the SC created a concept (privacy) that did not exist in the orginal constitution in order to base its ruiling on.
If one has the right to be secure in their person, papers, and effects from government intrusion and investigation except under certain circumstances, why do you think the concept of privacy does not exist in the Constitution? And why do you think that if something doesn't exist in the Constitution, we don't have it?
Most six-month-old unborn babies are viable human beings, fully able to live outside the womb. That means aborting this child is murder.
Even rabid feminists should be able to comprehend the truth.
They just choose not to.
BTTT for what you wrote. Allow me to boldly repeat it. These are the sort of low-lifes and their supporters that constitute the BASE, ignoble mentalities that make up the BASE of the DemocRAT Party:
"-- The Roe decision was a finacial windfall for the morally bankrupt greedy leftists:
-- The ACLU has reaped billions in court-ordered legal fees for it's lawyers.
-- Physicians discovered a quick and dirty way to perform abortions production line style and bill the U.S. taxpayer for their Mercedes, mansions, and extragant lifestyles.
-- Democrat politicians collected billions in "excess" election campaign "contributions" and were allowed to keep the "excess" for "personal use"; now, of course, the HRCs and others distribute their campaign funds into various payolas for other lib pols and much more for "future political uses and campaigns".
-- How sweet it is, the blood of unborn babies, changed from blood into dollars...

(1) A declaration that life begins at conception (or at least implantation... I prefer the former).
(2) Right to Privacy is not superior to the Right of Life.
Essentially, it must be declared and affirmed that once a conception happens, a Legal Responsibility is entered into by the parents-to-be... in fact, the couple are, by all realities, already parents and must legally act in that way to support the life of the baby.
You can still have your Right to Privacy... right up until you undertake the actions that lead to the creation of another life. Then Privacy MUST yield to Responsibility.
Gee, that requires quite a change in thinking, eh? Can this SCOTUS go that far?
Because of the length that the court would have to extend in order to band the murder, I would expect your scenario to prevail at best.
But it's a start -- and we need a start for the sake of the baies.
The most dangerous thing about Roe V wade is that the SC created a concept (privacy) that did not exist in the orginal constitution in order to base its ruiling on.The "penumbral" right to privacy was created in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which was a contraception case.

Request filed to overturn abortion rulingJune 17, 2003 11:19 AM CDT
A request to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that legalized abortion, was filed Tuesday by Norma McCorvey, the former "Roe" in the case.
"I long for the day that justice will be done and the burden from all of these deaths will be removed from my shoulders," McCorvey said. "I want to do everything in my power to help women and their children. The issue is justice for women, justice for the unborn and justice for what is right."
Ms. McCorvey petitioned the court to re-open the case based on changes in factual conditions and changes in law that make the prior decisions "no longer just," said Allan E. Parker, Jr., lead attorney for the Texas-based Justice Foundation.
Those changes include affidavits from women who say abortions have given them emotional, physical and psychological trauma. The affidavits also include scientific evidence on when human life begins.
NARAL is lying when they say overturning Roe would make abortion illegal. Overturning Roe would just return the subject to the legislative process where the Constitution put it in the first place.
I think there is MUCH more momentum on the side of life.
