Advance Liberty, Overturn Roe! | The Scriptorium Daily: Middlebrow<\/a><\/p>\n

Every aborted baby looks alike, but every child allowed to live becomes absolutely unique. Abortion crushes liberty for the sake of a single choice\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit ends possibility with the cruel actuality of murder.<\/p>\n

Roe should be overturned because by judicial fiat it hallows killing the innocent as part of our Constitution. In a just society there can be no right to do evil. Not every evil should be illegal, but no evil action should be hallowed as a constitutional right.<\/p>\n

It took years and much horror to remove slavery, another soul crushing immorality, from the Constitution, but at least the Founders authored this bad law. The court imposed a “culture of death,” to borrow a phrase from John Paul the Great, on our nation, contrary to our oldest traditions, our best moral impulses, and the gradual expansion of liberty and justice to all Americans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes. Read it all<\/a>.\u00a0 And consider how Jesus of Nazareth would vote in the matter.<\/p>\n

It seems likely that the next president will be appointing judges who will decide if Roe v. Wade is to be overturned.\u00a0 If it is, abortion will not end, or suddenly be illegal, it will simply be returned to the states, where, presumbably, normal legislative processes will occur that actually represent the will of the people.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It does seem certain that abortion will be significantly reduced, if Roe is overturned.\u00a0 That means that those who claim to “dislike abortion” but say “we can’t criminalize it” or “prolife is a seamless garment” are putting up a smokescreen to obscure the fact that they don’t want a legal change that is guaranteed to save many, many, many lives.<\/p>\n
