Roe v. Wade

I remember the day the Roe v. Wade decision came down.  Michigan had just  passed legislation to make abortion illegal here.  My parents had helped work on it and I remember how furious they were that the Supreme Court had circumvented the democratic process and stolen the prolife victory.  Everyone was stunned.  How could the Supreme Court invent a Constitutional right??  Indeed.  That is the question we've been asking ever since.  

I felt too sick to write about this on the anniversary.  When you think about it, it's really mind-boggling that people actually justify abortion as a right.  They will not, of course, even address the issue of the personhood of the baby.  They won't talk about it.  Of course not.  The central controversy is whether or not the baby is a human being.  It's impossible to argue that it is not.  It's alive.  It belongs to a species.  The species it belongs to is the human species.  It's a human being.  Human beings of all ages deserve protection under the law.  It's that simple.  That people refuse to look at the truth, that otherwise intelligent people just do not get it is a sure sign, in my opinion, that the father of lies is deeply involved. 

Lord have mercy.  Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
