The Day the Supreme Court Turned on Its Own

If I asked you, would you be able to tell me any way in which Constitutional civil rights are being ignored by our government?

If you can think it, is there any way in which millions of lives are being lost, and yet the federal government is not stepping in to save them? It, in fact, is the force behind why the lives are being lost.

The answer: Abortion. About 1.2 million lives are lost each year to abortions. These lives are not only not protected by our government, but it was our government that decided they should not be saved. It was the government that gave these lives away. Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton -- two court cases decided by the Supreme Court the same day, Jan. 22, 1973 -- reversed laws in all 50 states protecting the unborn.

The Court turned on its own, you could say, as the Court is there to be the protector of rights. It turned on the very people it is there to protect.

For, it says in the 14th Amendment, ". . . nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

The court got around that by not considering an unborn child to be a person. Now, what if we were to concede that an unborn child indeed is not yet a person? Wouldn't it still remain the unborn will become one, will become a person? Is not the Court sworn to uphold the rights of all persons, even those who have not yet arrived at that status?

"Nor shall any State deprive any person of life?" The Court, itself, is depriving an estimated 1.2 million people of their lives each year. Ironically, the states were protecting the lives of the unborn, until the Court, itself, forbid them from doing so.
