On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centers around Mississippi’s ban on most abortions after the fifteenth week of pregnancy.
With a conservative majority in the Court, the right’s pipe dream of overturning Roe v. Wade, or at least rolling back abortion rights, appears to be within reach. Naturally, this development has escalated the public debate over what is, arguably, the most divisive issue of our time.
An op-ed in The New York Times written by Elizabeth Spiers, a Democratic digital strategist who was adopted as an infant, argues that adoption is “infinitely more difficult, expensive, dangerous and potentially traumatic than terminating a pregnancy during its early stages.”

At the Founding, there was a debate about whether listing some rights degraded those not on the list. There never was a process for recognizing other rights that a government could not interferre with. The language and logic in the Roe case was pretty lame, but unlisted rights are still likely to be a political problem. The Lefties/Corruptocrats/Progressives have a bucketful of "rights" that they would love to force on the nation.
ReplyDeleteThanks and they'd rather all of die.
DeleteElizabeth Spiers should consider herself a very fortunate person instead of trying to find a dark side. She has two mothers who love her and they are both heterosexual.
ReplyDeleteGood points.
DeleteMs. Spires needs to be subjected to a VERY late term abortion.....
ReplyDeleteNeeds something, that's for sure.
