As long as the proponents of abortion, all of whom I assume condemn genocide, have no rational reason to refuse to assign the same principle of natural law to abortion as they do to genocide, they are inconsistent.

To sum up, conception can be legally avoided — adoption opportunties are enormous — abortion legislation except in rare medical cases is neither necessary, humanly acceptable, legal nor constitutional.

The fundamental nature of life makes impossible a classification of living, human being as nonpersons, who can be excluded from the protection of the Constitution of the United States so that their right to life can be taken from them in spite of the due process clause and equal protection clause.

Such a classification is constitutionally suspect. The relationship between the classification excluding this human group of foetuses from the enjoyment of the right to life and the fabricated purposes for which the classification is made are so imperfect that it follows that the classification is clearly unconstitutional.

For instance, this abortion legislation gives the woman the right without the knowledge of the man to destroy the foetus who has, under the New York State law, the right of inheritance for devolution of property if the father dies intestate. By this act the woman, if she should be the wife, would increase her share in the intestate estate by confiscating the inheritance rights of the foetus.

In answer to the concurring opinion of Judge Jasen, which was filed after this opinion, I merely add that there can be no debate or value judgment when the operating doctors and their nurses examine the bucket in the operating room. They should know they have destroyed living human beings, the remains of which are in the bucket. If they rely on the opinions of the self motivated, they should examine the exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute. The United Press International recently reported the birth of a foetus at 21 weeks in a New York hospital. Was it “less-than-human”?

Accordingly the order of the Appellate Division should be reversed and chapter 127 of Laws of 1970 be declared unconstitutional.

Hmmm...I read all the way through it again. Couldn’t find a single chink in his Constitutional logic.

You have repeatedly been shown the simple, clear words of the Constitution that states its purpose of protecting the equal rights of posterity, and which guarantees the protection of the lives of those uncharged, untried and unconvicted of a capital offense.

Only in the minds of you and other enemies of the Constitution.

In what way?

By reading an imaginary abortion emanation of a penumbra int the Constitution. Same as Blackmun.

Your inability to back up anything you say is, well, pathetic.

This argument was not only made by Nazi lawyers and Judges at Nuremberg

So you want the Constitution to be made subordinate to unwritten international law. Leftists inevitably do.

To equate the judicial deference to the wiseness of a Legislature in a local zoning case with the case of the destruction of a child in embryo which is conceded to be “human” and “is unquestionably alive” is an acceptance of the thesis that the “State is supreme”, and that “live human beings” have no inalienable rights in this country.

The idiot thinks his rantings allow him to legislate from the bench and rewrite the Constitution. He's Blackmun's soul brother.

Ah, now you’re defending the leaders of the Third Reich. Amazing.

Just following orders?

The Declaration has the force of law and the constitutions of the United States and of the various States must harmonize with its tenets.

The Declaration of Independence had nothing to do with abortion or elevating the federal government to a position of supremacy over state police powers. That's a screed.

Chief Judge Lehman’s understanding of inalienable rights is the only understanding that makes any sense out of the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights and the United Nations Convention against genocide.

Pure crackpot.

According to the majority opinion, valid law is a merger of legislative and executive emotions, whims and hunches

As opposed to enemies of the law, who want to rule from the bench.

By the way, you never answered my question about a state law that would target YOU for destruction, and such a law’s constitutionality and enforceability..

I’m still looking for any particular point in which he “disagrees with the Constitution,”

By inserting into it whatever he wants. Classic "living document" tactic.

It's amazing that you can't tell the difference between "ruling" and performing the primary function of government in America, which is the protection of innocent human life.

Hogwash. You continue to ignore the repeated clear wording of the Constitution which defends innocent human life. Like most modern lawyers, you simply pretend those words do not exist.
