Why Roe Must Go

You always have to be cautious about making assumptions based on oral arguments at the Supreme Court. But for those of us dedicated to the sanctity of life, it's hard not to be hopeful after today's arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, the most serious challenge to Roe v. Wade in decades. 

A decision isn't expected until the summer. But judging from the frantic reactions of CNN and the Huffington Post, I guarantee you that those who have profited from the stack of infant corpses will not sleep well tonight.

Few cases in the court's history have had such a negative impact on the United States as Roe v. Wade. That case took a whole class of American citizens, our unborn children, and declared they had no rights we were bound to respect. 

Like the infamous Dred Scott decision that legalized slavery when it declared that black Americans had no rights we were bound to respect, Roe v. Wade treated unborn children like Styrofoam cups to be discarded at will. Since January 1973, more than 60 million children have been destroyed by abortion. 

The Supreme Court was wrong in Dred Scott and it was wrong in Roe v. Wade!

Sadly, America is among just seven countries in the entire world that permit abortion on demand. We're on the fringe of international law, and today's pro-abortion legal regime is on the fringe of American public opinion. The overwhelming majority of Americans oppose abortion-on-demand.

When it comes to COVID, progressives reflexively chant, "Follow the science." Well, if there's one group that is most certainly not following the science, it's the pro-abortion left.

Basic biology tells us that life begins at conception. Beyond that, scientific advances, including advanced ultrasounds, gave us a window into the womb. We more fully understand now the humanity of the unborn child today than we did way back in 1973, especially the unborn child's ability to feel pain. 

Doctors now operate on babies in the womb. Is the mother the patient? No, it's the child, because there are obviously two people involved.
