We can add Roe v Wade to that list. Millions upon millions of people who never had a chance, their right denied, as if they never existed.

And that was based on a lie too.

You raise a valid point: Roe v. Wade, contrary to what most Freepers might think, is a classic example of the fact that regardless of what the USSC says the constitution says, Americans get what they want: most Americans favor some access to early abortion; a much larger majority favor strong restrictions in the second and third trimester. A no man’s land has emerged in which most of the victories on either side are at the margin-—executive orders about military basis, PBA, and so on. So you have a network of laws, regardless of what the constitution says, that elevates a right to privacy above some people’s right to life, and so far that has been perfectly acceptable to the large majority.
