Nobody is defined by a single issue.

God may just let us go down the rabbit hole and suffer for many decades before *possibly* stepping in.

My very ProLife wife adores Melania. She would be so disappointed if I were to tell her about this...so I won’t.

Psychopaths and sociopaths. Of course, I’m NOT calling Melania either of those two words. In fact, I suspect she just succumbed to peer pressure from the clique.

I don't have a problem with Melania Trump advocating that abortion is a "fundamental" right as long as she understands that it is not a Constitutional right.

She is free to come to her own conclusions on the issues that are important to her and to use whatever platform she has access to in order to appeal to others. It's another case of the old adage "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

What's playing out right now is what I predicted would happen back in May 2022.

I wrote this on 5/8/2022:


The worst thing about Roe v. Wade is that it allowed our politicians to hide behind the ruling for far too long. The issue needs to be debated, but the debate never happened as long as Roe was out there.

The blow to the left is about the ability to create rights in the Constitution. The "third party interest" is the key to the whole thing.

The Declaration of Independence says that our rights are inherent in each of us, and endowed upon us by our Creator. The Constitution guarantees to each of us these inherent rights.

I don't need the involvement of a third party to enjoy free speech, to publish, to congregate somewhere, to worship, or to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

I don't need the involvement of others to defend myself from harm.

I don't need the involvement of others to demand the privacy of my papers and possessions.

I don't need the involvement of others to have the right to confront my accusers.

But I do require the involvement of a third party to have an abortion performed on me. Once the third party is involved, there is a role for government regulations to play:

An abortion is not an inherent Constitutionally-protected right of the same kind as those listed above. If someone else must collaborate with me in order for it to happen, it is not a right, it is a transaction.

Justice Alito is simply saying that abortion does not rise to the level of a Constitutional right, and that the proper venue for society to deal with it is via the people through their state and federal legislative processes.

That's it.

Dredd Scott was a bad ruling because it violated the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (made moot by the 13th amendment).

Plessy v. Ferguson was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education because it violated the right to peaceably assemble.

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many of the invented rights (based on equal protection and nothing else) will be up for debate, meaning they must be inherent individual rights or societally agreed upon law via the legislative processes.

When Roe is reversed, three things will happen:

  1. The debates will begin in the several states, as the states grapple with the issue.
  2. The people will eventually clamor for a national solution after the states create a patchwork of different laws.
  3. Congress will be forced to come up with single uniform solution to abortion.
As long as Roe has been "settled law," it allowed the extremes to rule the middle. On the one hand was the "abortion any time" crowd that included day of birth (and sometimes the day after), and on the other hand was the "no abortion ever" under any circumstance group. Most people are somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.

They need to be heard, and the politicians need to be forced to listen and deal with it once and for all.


We are currently at step 2 of my predicted outcome.

Melania is not appointing Supreme Court judges. She has a right to her own opinion and journey with God.

Kamala Harris would appoint really, really bad judges.

Why would she do this at this critical time?

A cynic would say because she doesn't want to spend the next four years in the White House.

Melania can believe as she wishes,but I still don’t get why she’s choosing right now. the last week’s before the election, to promote her book? After staying invisible and silent through out this year . She never showed up at any of her husbands trials this spring either.
Maybe Mooch was right. that Melania would prefer Kamala won.

I get that she would want to get her private life back, but of all times to get restless and rebellious.

Your wife can pray for Melania and thank God that Melania’s husband appoints sound minded judges despite his own pro-choice leanings.

Promoting murder absolutely defines a person.

Right, Adolph?

My research does not agree unless you are counting his 3 exceptions: rape, incest and the life of the mother. He has stated that there is a short window where a choice can be made. Pro-life and pro-choice are a continuum not diametrically opposed for most people.

Well, it’s sad, but on the other hand, it might win over a few more independent and even a handful of libs itching to vote for Trump because their lives suck so much.

Will God continue to Bless a nation that has abortion as its highest priority?

Half the country agrees with her.
The issue is now rightly with the individual states, and the people.

Medical procedures are under State control.
Thanks to our PDJT, The GOAT, the horror of Roe is gone

Want change? Convince your fellow Citizens.
It is not for the Courts or the Fed.

I was disappointed to hear of Melania’s view on killing babies.
