one new SCOTUS justice would flip it. one.
but here is the rub. that justice, and the other 4 who are needed, won’t flip it if is viewed as a moral issue. Not that I don’t think its a moral issue mind you, of course it is. But you won’t get 5 to flip it on that basis, it must be framed as a constitutional issue.
If I’ve learned anything, it’s to be patient and persistent.
One conservative SC Justice is still a step in the right direction.
And then one more... if we win the WH and then win it again.
1. The unborn are deemed by SCOTUS to be "persons" under the Equal Prtection Clause of the XIVth Amendment. End game for the babykillers because that would mandate a constitutional RIGHT TO LIFE for the innocents conceived but not yet born.
2. More likely: Abortion was none of the fedgov's or SCOTUS's business in the first place (Xth Amendment). The states are free to legislate as they see fit. It will take a while but that will also produce endgame for the babykillers and a political victory will be more permanent.
