“...the intention of the ratifiers...”
Original meaning, not original intent.
There’s a difference, long since recognized by the likes of Scalia, Thomas, Alito.
Silly me.
“republican [representative] form of government”
__________
To this commenter’s mind, states that proffer internal electoral vote tallies for POTUS and VPOTUS that are transparently the product of underlying voter and election fraud cannot legitimately brag of a republican form of government.
The powerbrokers of same who do such proferring should not be surprised when they get punched square in the nose by a masculine sitting VPOTUS on the odd January 6th.
Just sayin’.
Nine people or so in my close-ish family would not have been born if my grandmother aborted my father, whose father was a rapist.
i’m old enough to remember this bs when roe v wade was pushed thru. how it’d only be used for extreme circumstances... like rape and incest.
well guess what... of the 1m+ per year since they passed that garbage, the number of abortions due to rape and incest has held steady between 35k-40k. that’s ~3-4% of all abortions fall into this category.
the rest is just killing the baby.
YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
Moe, larry and shemp.
Aren’t these the same people who pushed “Plan B?” I see that stuff at CVS now. But if a woman is raped, she could probably get it at the hospital. Because a woman would go to the police and the hospital if raped, right?
if u mean the rape victim could get an abortion in another state, then yes, you are correct I hope you are not implying that there is no such thing as rape though.
The left always argues emotions when the facts don’t fit.
Children don’t choose their parents. So we blame the father’s bad deed on the child?

This man was born from his mother being raped.
There are countless blessings in this world like this man.

God takes evil and gives us good!!!!
All babies lives matter!!
Thanks for the excellent response. Your points are well-made and in my opinion accurate. I recall when I attended law school in the early 1970’s my ConLaw professor was a great proponent of an expansive interpretation of the Constitution. I will confess that at the time I was led to believe that he was correct and that the Constitution is a “living document” that must adapt to the times and circumstances then existing. It was only over time, as I read more and as I saw the enormous power of the federal government that impacted our lives that my views began to change. I don’t pretend to know if the recent actions by the Supreme Court herald a renewal of the system intended by the Framers, but I hope that is the case.
Perfect point! Thank you.

“So what is the constitutional principal for their dissent?”
The Constitution is meaningless to them. They just like abortion.
Listen to what I’m saying, idiot. I’m saying that the reason of abortion for the case of rape is never pursued to the point of the rapist being held accountable. It always ends with simply the abortion. No other questions asked.
Got it now?
Why did she allow herself to be raped?
Particularly in the cases of pregnancy or minors, which can be presumed rape. It’s always, “here’s an abortion for ya, all better now.”
Why not, “we’ll provide the abortion, but let’s get the police involved to prosecute the criminal who did this to you and make sure it never happens again. Who was it?”
Crickets.
How do you get to “original meaning” if the original text is ambiguous and/or confused?
A very important factor that cannot be overlooked is the understanding and intention of the ratifiers who are the ones that made the proposal into law.
What argument can you make for the counterfeit and heretical doctrine of incorporation that gives the feds sweeping new powers without a peep from Congress? And incorporation was refuted by “the Slaughterhouse Cases” few years after the 14A was ratified.
The 14A was treated by the ratifiers for what is is or should have been: a Post-Civil-War Reconstruction Amendment to make blacks full citizens and NOTHING MORE.
This is discussed in length by Robert Bork, the leading constitutional scholar of his time, in “The Tempting of America.”
The Satanic Left is a subtle as the snake that deceived Eve.
