Could the Peterson Conviction Overturn Roe v. Wade?

Maybe some good will come of it but a court decision can not "overturn" a SCOTUS decision...

Of course it can, in fact that's often exactly how SCOTUS is overturned, that is by a new case brought to SCOTUS for a ruling.

IOW, all Snott Peterson's attorneys need to argue on appeal is the 14th Amendment -- Equal Protection. Had Laci Peterson chosen to go to Planned Parenthood on December 23, 2002 and have an abortion, there would be "no murder" of Conner Peterson. How can Snott be found guilty of murdering that same unborn child on that same day if Laci had the "right" to do so? I am hoping Snott's appeals go that route.

So obviously true. That will take appropriate court appointments. The courts are the reason there even is an ACLU. Take away courts favorable to such self-destructive leftism, and you render the ACLU, and Hollywood-types ineffective. Because they don't have the power to persuade, only to impose!

FINALLY!!! A case that makes it clear that it is a CRIME to kill an unborn child. Now let us use linear logic and former common sense morality to criminalize ALL such killings, including purely elective ABORTIONS!!!!
