My view of the United States Constitution

[progressive hunter]

The Constitution does not say that.

yes it does,,

its in the 5th amendment

 

[BackAgain]

States are gerrymandered to hell. So its not left to the People.

Another startling and largely baseless display of abject ignorance.

 

[martybegan]

It would be pretty lame even with an example.

It is a fact that the Constitution states what it states and doesn’t necessarily mention all things it necessarily implies. It is also a fact that it leaves many things to the States or to the People.

Which is why I support an Article V convention to clean the thing up.

The text of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution is as follows:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.".

I have read this several times. I still do not see the word "abortion" here.

Most who should get abortions for eugenic reasons cannot afford abortions.

people you think you are superior too?...

 

[Hector12]

Hey guy, I'm in favor of abortion. I view it as a race freshening operation. I just do not think the Constitution defends it.

people you think you are superior too?...

By criteria important to civilization, I am. I have no felony convictions and no illegitimate children. I am reasonably intelligent.

Anyway. The Federalist is widely regarded as the blueprint for the Constitution and should be mandatory reading for anyone having questions with regard to it.

Aside from The Federalist being the most widely regarded blueprint for the Constitution, it's also interesting and relevant to note that some of what is found in The Constitution for the United States (which was the original title, by the way. It got changed to ''of'' in place of ''for'') can also be found in the Constitutions of the Free-Masons (1734). Published by Ben Franklin, this was the first Masonic book printed in America. Was a reprint of James Anderson's authoritative digest of the Constitutions of the fraternity (1723)

Neither The Federalist or the Constitutions of the Free-Masons are really the type of reading to be undertaken by your typical USA Today type of demographic, so likely only interesting to serious students of the intent, history and roots of our nation's founding, directly from the people who framed them or influenced them.

No does the Constitution mention use of computers, yet the First clearly covers communications using them.
Specifically the deprivation of life, liberty, or property applies to the not yet born, so says the courts.

The Supreme Court did not think so in 1973.

 

[DGS49]

While the Tenth Amendment would appear to leave the matter of abortion to the States, Congress would seem to have the power to decide what a "person" is, and that might include an unborn person.

Roe v Wade was a manifestation of the Court's frustration with Congress REFUSING to do its job in this matter, as it had clearly become a pressing issue. That is why it is often cited as a gross example of "legislating from the bench." And why it would inevitably be overturned.

That’s like arguing for slavery because Dredd Scott hasn’t been overturned. Luckily a better quality group of supremes came along and tossed RvW.

I'm probably right there with you, JW.

Not surprisingly, the anti-Federalists have been proven correct in their predictions over and over and over and over and over again.

I dislike the Supreme Court as an institution. I trust the voters, not the judges.

Nevertheless, I like the eugenic effects of legal abortion. Females who have abortions rarely have anything of value to contribute to the gene pool.

That's fine as long as I'm not paying for it with coerced funds.

If you don't pay for an abortion you will end up paying for a life of welfare checks.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

she gave that up when she opened her legs,,

She is an animal and should have been educated to realize that fact.

 

[Chuz Life]

Not specifically. What about the liberty and pursuit of happiness of a woman who is pregnant with a child she does not want to raise? Abortion is popular among those who would rather have fun than babies. They do not want sex to have serious consequence.

Do you fancy yourself as a befender of basic human right? Children's rights?
