With Roe On Life Support: How The F%^& Did We Get Here?

[skews13]

What happened? Evangelicals began to get into politics … because of desegregation. When public schools were desegregated in the 1950s, white Evangelicals and even some Catholics left in droves, the Evangelicals especially sending their kids to so-called “segregation academies,” religious schools that only admitted white people. (Jerry Falwell ran one.) At the same time as Roe was being argued, those academies were found to be illegal, even though white Christians protested that their religious beliefs compelled them to keep the races separated.

Conservative Evangelicals and Catholics had tended to avoid the mess of politics, and rarely agreed with one another. But with courts forcing white Christians to go to school with Black kids, that changed, and in the late 1970s, the Christian right was born. Yet there was a problem: preserving segregation was no longer an effective unifying issue. And so, Paul Weyrich, Falwell, and other founders of the Christian right — in a history meticulously documented by Randall Balmer — seized on abortion instead.

Abortion was perfect. Support for abortion overlapped with support for desegregation, women’s rights, gay rights, and the sexual revolution. If you fought one, you could fight the others too. Plus abortion was an emotional issue that was easily used to whip up anger and indignation, as well as to drive people to the polls (and to donate money).

The gambit worked. The Christian right got Ronald Reagan elected in 1980, and since then, opposition to abortion has been a defining issue of the Republican Party. And for the last 45 years, the Christian right has been methodically, meticulously planning for this very moment. Christian fundamentalists only supported politicians who were “Pro-Life,” driving moderate Republicans out of the party. They made being “Pro-Life” central to their religious identity. Despite the obvious history, and the total lack of Biblical support, they made “life begins at conception” into dogma.

And they worked to transform the judiciary. Judges and justices began to be vetted for their stances on abortion rights, usually in code. With a newly minted philosophy called “originalism,” legal scholars and judges said that only rights that were “part of our Nation’s history and tradition” were covered by the constitution’s guarantees. No one believed this preposterous idea fifty years ago, but now five Supreme Court justices do.

62 MILLION DEAD BABIES ABORTED.

The END.

 

[Meister]

The Constitution with it's lack of definition on the subject kinda stated that it was a State issue
and not a Federal issue. I think with SCOTUS throwing it back to the states is the proper call.
Let the People figure out what they want.

Cool but the real reason we got here was because of effing radical activists who just insisted that any limitation on abortion is unacceptable. A 13 year needs a parental signature for just about every medical procedure imaginable except abortion and COVID shots. If the "It's okay to kill them as they are delivered" part of we had had some common sense and been willing to settle for something less than whenever the F woman wants, then the whole of the "we" wouldn't be here. They did not win because of Jerry Falwell. The left lost because the left screwed up. Gay rights are going to be next because you people are taking the trans shit too far and aren't willing to settle for some progress if you cannot take it to the absurd.

Things change sometimes you like the change sometimes you don't things don't always go the way we want it's called life. Over the years the Supreme Court has handed down decisions I didn't like or agree with but I never set my hair on fire or acted like a raving lunatic over it I was taught at young age you don't always get what you want a lesson some sorely need to learn.

America has really extreme crazy pro-abortion laws that can’t last.

U.S. more pro-abortion than 47 European nations

A new international study discovered that 47 countries in Europe have abortion policies with restrictions that are more pro-life than the ones instituted in the United States.

Abortion was perfect

Proof that you have no idea of what Roe vs Wade is. Another vote for the ignorant. Another vote for the left.

Roe vs Wade was all about privacy that morphed into something that it wasn't. THAT is the issue, you ignorant person who hasn't done a stitch of research on your own.

Roe v. Wade - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Not to mention that you whole premise is incorrect.
"Abortion was perfect"

Abortion kills people.

Full stop.

I fear for the future if they have people as misinformed as you being in society itself, not locked behind bars for perhaps stupidity itself.
But then again, all democrats would share the same jail cell.
Crap, even the very same person who got the whole thing started, Norma McCorvey, she was paid to speak out against abortion by he democrats.
Yes, shocking I know. The democrats will pay people for speaking out about killing people.

Norma McCorvey - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Please, please try to do some thinking on your own.
Never mind - you just don't have the capacity for actual thought.

Typical of a democrat.

I am beginning to think that democrats should be held to intelligence test before voting because damn, you people are stupid.

Or on another thought, perhaps you should all give me your phone number and addresses.
Have I have some premium swamp water property to sell you.
'Guaranteed' by democrat standards to be well worth the value.

Perhaps I should get some pointers from the thousands of used car salespeople that I work with on a daily basis how to properly rip off the stupid.
Perhaps you are already one of our customers....

This is my own understanding of the text of the constitution. I don't understand the focus on claiming one's rights rather than doing one's duty. It is the only thing that seems to be going on. Doing one's duty would be much better for the general welfare. It is only through doing one's duty that anyone has any rights.
