The outcry from the Left regarding the U.S.
Supreme Court’s decision that, according to the constitution, the
responsibility for laws and regulations on abortion resides with the states and
the people – not with the federal government - was predictable. The radicals are few in number, but they are
loud. Consequently, they make good copy
for the sensationalistic, left-leaning mainstream news media. The minority of Americans who support
abortion on demand up until a baby is born are being made to look like the
majority.
Some of the protests are turning violent. That is an abuse of our right to freedom of
assembly and our right to petition the government for a redress of our
grievances. Like petulant children
pitching temper tantrum, the radicals
expect to get their way so that they will shut up. They think all they have to do is raise a ruckus,
and society will accede to their demands.
Violence and threats have been reported.
In Portland, Oregon slogans like “Death to SCOTUS” have been spray
painted on sidewalks and buildings. Windows
have been broken, cars vandalized, and fires set.
On the Fox News Chanel, segments showing
other graffiti saying things like, “If abortion isn’t safe, you won’t be either,”
have been shown. Please join us in
prayer for the safety of the Justices and their families.
Using a tactic perfected by Bill and Hillary Clinton,
Leftist politicians have started to use the “politics of character
assassination” against the conservative Supreme Court Justices. This despicable tactic is often used by the
Left against just about anyone they disagree with. Events are mischaracterized, and “spun” so
that they seem to prove someone to be guilty of something they did not do.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is
accusing the Justices appointed by President Trump of lying to the Senate,
during their confirmation hearings, and she is calling for their impeachment. That flies in the face of an independent
judiciary.
Senators Joe Menchin and Susan Collins have
complained that they were assured the Trump nominees regarded Roe vs. Wade as
law. Come on man!
At the time of the confirmation hearings, Roe vs. Wade was, indeed, the
law. The nominees affirmed that they
would uphold the law, as they should.
However, they also said, repeatedly, that they could not prejudge
cases during their confirmation hearings, and that they would decide each case
before the court based on its merits.
The Senate confirmation hearings were turned
into political theater by Senators whose “questions” were nothing more than
longwinded speeches made for the benefit of the TV cameras. If legislators at that level do not know that
court rulings can be overturned, and laws may be repealed or rewritten, they
have no business being there.
We are living in the 21st
Century. This is not ancient Babylon,
where an edict from the emperor was irrevocable law that could not even be
undone by the king himself, if he realized he had made a mistake. (Daniel,
Chapter 6)
In modern totalitarian societies like the
People’s Republic of China (PRC), leaders are so paranoid that they might be
caught in a mistake, they would rather cause a worldwide pandemic than admit
they are fallible. Why? Because their right to absolute power rests,
in part, upon their infallibility. Has America become like that? Let’s hope not!
“A woman’s right to choose” may, or may not,
be inviolable. However, even the Liberal
icon, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, admitted Roe vs. Wade was a flawed court
ruling. In my opinion, it was an attempt to rationalize a constitutional right
into existence that simply was not provided for by the constitution. That is why it has been overturned.
Want to change it? You may need to repeal the 10th
Amendment, and pass a new amendment that provides for abortion on demand. Oh – but there isn’t enough public support to
do that, is there?
