Abortion on Demand has been the Law of the Land for almost as long as we can remember.  This was one of the worst decisions of the US Supreme Court – not just because it permits the unregulated destruction of human life; but because its legal justification is unfounded, and the Court did not have jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court created a “Right of Privacy,” using that “Right” to permit a patient (e.g., a pregnant woman) and her physician to make a decision (kill the baby) without government intrusion.  While government intrusion into personal affairs SHOULD be limited, the Supreme Court (and other government entities) don’t seem to have much concern about that “Right to Privacy” when it comes to other issues.  That was ESPECIALLY true during the COVID panic.  WE had little or no private choice, and physicians were forced to take government mandated actions, without regard to the patient’s choice.

There is a more fundamental flaw in the Roe decision.  This is the unconstitutional usurpation of power by the Supreme Court.  Our Constitution gives SPECIFIC powers to the Federal Government.  The Bill of Rights RESTRICTS that power to ENUMERATED powers, leaving unaddressed powers to the states and to the people.  The Roe decision could be overturned EASILY on strictly legal grounds, without regard to whether it is murder, or that state laws should be consistent.

Our Federal Government, created by the Constitution, is a LIMITED power government, which was DELEGATED all of its power BY THE STATES.  We, as citizens, need to remember that.  Our Representatives in the State Legislatures need to remember that.  Our Governors need to remember that.  WE THE PEOPLE need to hold our state governments accountable to this fundamental principle of our Nation.
