Now that the draft opinion from the most notable and highly anticipated Supreme Court case to come before the court has been released, below are some facts and quotes from the current majority opinion:
Alito’s draft opinion references the lack of language in the Constitution referencing the right to abortion. Rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution that SCOTUS can uphold must be “deeply rooted in this Nation’s rich history” and “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.” This is the justification for the initial opinion in Roe v. Wade. (Note: at the time of the opinion release in 1973, 30 of the 50 states BANNED abortion at ALL stages.)
What is Stare Decisis? This is the principle that calls for prior decisions to be followed in most instances. This is commonly referenced in why Roe should not be overturned. Per Alito’s opinion “proper application of Stare Decisis required an assessment of the strength of the grounds on which Roe was based.” Alito states that improper application was used in the 1992 case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
In arguing for Roe v. Wade to be the continued law of the land, the Solicitor General stated in oral arguments that if the Mississippi law was upheld that Roe v. Wade MUST be overturned.
Alito’s opinion also states “Roe, however, was remarkably loose in the constitutional text. It held that the abortion right, which is not mentioned in the Constitution, is part of a right to privacy, which is also not mentioned.”
And finally, the opinion acknowledges the potential events and fallout that might occur after the opinion was to be released, which now will most likely happen between today and the official opinion. “We do not pretend to know how our political system or society will respond to today’s decision overruling Roe and Casey. And even if we could foresee what will happen, we would have no authority to let that knowledge influence our decision. We can only do our job, which is to interpret the law, apply longstanding principles of stare decisis, and decide this case accordingly. We therefore hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
I would like to point out that there are some significant downsides to taas ruling that those on the pro-life right might wish to consider.
With the unbelievable multi-pronged series of disasters that the Biden Administration has foisted upon America – and especially now, since more and more of Biden’s critics are finally acknowledging that these destructive policies are not due to mere incompetence – they are being done deliberately and with premeditated malice aforethought – in order to intentionally weaken and destroy as many sacred foundations of t s nation as possible – I find myself becoming highly suspicious of the timing of this controversial court ruling.
With the mid-term elections only 7 months away – all the polling data is predicting that the Democrats are going to get blown out of power in November. The GOP is expected to take control of the House and the Senate. The Democrats have nothing – no issue, nothing they can point to that has not been a complete and utter disaster for this nation. Inflation is skyrocketing. Gas prices are soaring. Food prices are soaring. The border is deliberately being left wide open, as millions of illegal aliens flood into the USA. Mexican Drug Cartels are raking in billions in profits – both from human smuggling operations and from drug trafficking across our wide open border. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dying thanks to deadly addictions to fentanyl – which the cartels are hauling across our Southern border by the truck loads. There is an epidemic of black gun crimes and mass shootings – nearly always in the democrat controlled blue states and big cities. Biden recently announced plans to draft doctors who work at VA Hospitals and send them to the border so they can attend to the ‘medical needs’ of illegal aliens instead of attending to the medical needs of our military veterans. And, then there are these incredibly evil and un-constitutional vax mandates – where Biden and his cronies are kicking military people out of the military if they refuse to risk their health and very lives by submitting to these deadly vaccines – vaccines which have been exposed as causing extremely serious and life-threatening adverse side effects?
So, as I said – I am becoming very suspicious about the timing of this court decision. The smart thing for the conservative, pro-life right to have done – was for the Supreme Court to wait until after the November elections to agree to hear this case. Wait for the Republicans to retake the House and the Senate, and then, take this case and issue their ruling. Instead, 7 months away from the mid-term elections – the court decides to take this case, issue this ruling and hand a highly contentious issue to the diabolically evil Democrats, who have no other issue that they can run on? They will pounce on this abortion issue and milk it 24/7, 365 for the next 7 months and there is a strong likelihood that they will be able to stampede a significant number of female voters back over to the left on this one single issue.
Namely, to capitalize on this shameful notion that millions of women have in their heads that they have a God-given, sacred right to kill any fetuses that might be inconvenient to their careers or inconvenient to their promiscuous party girl lifestyles.
I am catching the aroma of a Deep State Hail Mary attempt to try to thwart the Democrat blowout that is being predicted for the mid-terms. The kwanservatives on Supreme Court are handing this issue to the democrats
as a gift. From a tactical point of view, this makes no sense – unless the court is trying to help the Democrats.
