Are you suggesting abortion is actually in the Constitution?

Are you serious?

It doesn't matter what I think, you think, or Fred Thompson thinks. Given Roe vs Wade, any law passed banning abortion would be ruled unconstitutional. There are only two remedies. (1) The Supreme Court reverses Roe Vs Wade or (2) the Constitution is amended to clarify it for the SCOTUS.

Surely you knew that, since those are the only two ways your goals can be met. And you do understand that Thompson's approach is #1, don't you?

Along with all the nonconstitutional red herrings Blackmun included in that piece of trash were the following words:

“If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the (14th) Amendment.”

Blackmun was very much aware that he was making it up- finding a right to kill in “the concept of ordered liberty,” and in order to do it, he had to ignore the “well-known facts of fetal development.”

Even death advocates openly acknowledge that they wish he had written that-ahem-”decision” differently.

There is a third option. Many of us who care about this massive, ongoing injustice know about it.

Why doesn’t Fred Thompson?
