Agreed. The abortion issue today is something akin to the slavery issue from 150+ years ago. Both are evil. But the pro-slavery folks had their arguments, as ugly as those arguments were. Just as the pro-abortion folks have their arguments, as ugly as those arguments are.
No Supreme Court dared to outlaw slavery. And no Supreme Court would dare to outlaw abortion. As AnotherUnixGeek noted, that would take a level of courage most justices do not possess.
So what’s the answer? Another civil war? Of course not. As I see it, the pro-lifers need to mount a massive publicity campaign to convince darn near everyone just how wrong abortion really is.
Along those lines, I’d like to back that up with my own money. Is anyone here aware of a good organization that is trying to get that that message out?
“No Supreme Court dared to outlaw slavery”
Because they weren’t legislating from the bench. Judicial usurpation wouldn’t become the norm until the 20th Century.
Congress and the states outlawed slavery with the 13th Amendment, which is how our system was designed to operate. Not by slaughtering opponents in civil war. Not by Justices dictating from the bench- which of course is exactly what they did in Roe v Wade, and why it is often considered bad law even by abortion proponents.
