I’m a big anti-abortion guy and abortion is on the docket of the Supreme Court. Let’s talk about what is on the line here.

 

News

We have a lot to talk with the Supreme Court case but there is so much news that we can’t skip it. So let’s do a quick look at the news.

• Remember, last week, Biden released 50 million gallons of oil from the reserve? Yeah, well gas went down $.02 and the Democrats are celebrating that. Of course, gas at my station down the street went up $.10 so I’m not really sure what they are talking about.
• The November jobs report is out and it is horribly disappointing…again. There were 210,000 jobs created. The Dow expected 573,000 jobs so less than half have been created. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2%. That’s good but let’s not forget a couple of things:
  • We have to remember the Trump’s economy before the pandemic was at 3.4%.
  • The long term unemployed and the people who have just left the work force is going up which will affect the unemployment rate.
• An English professor, Christopher Trogan, from Fordham University, was fired because he confused the names to two black, female students in his class.
  • The two wrote him an E-mail saying they felt “disheartened and disrespected” and they believed it happened because they were black.
  • Trogan claimed it was an honest mistake. Trogan emailed the students back and claimed he was “centered specifically and explicitly around issues of justice, equality, and inclusion.”
  • Trogan then went into details about his credentials, and commented on “everything he has done for minorities.”
  • That was overkill. As one of the students involved told The Observer, “It seemed a little excessive, like all you needed to do was say sorry and it would have been fine. We were not actually that upset about him mixing up our names. It was more so the random things he would throw into the response.”
  • The students agreed that Trogan was giving off the vibe of a “white savior complex,” which he appeared to seal by offering to give up his job if the students felt they had been discriminated against, and inviting them to file a grievance to his superiors.
  • “Depending on your response,” he wrote in the email, “I may — or may not — be your professor in class next week. It’s all up to you.”
  • Two days later Fordham’s administration suspended him. A month later, he was unemployed.

New York Professor Mixes Up Two Black Students, Gets Fired For Defending Himself By Promoting His Woke Credentials

 

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health

The Case

Let’s go over what this case is all about. It is a little confusing especially what could happen. I had to do a ton to figure it out myself. I know everyone is talking about Roe versus Wade but it’s not only about that. It also deals with Planned Parenthood versus Casey. Of course, this whole thing started with a law in Mississippi the limits abortion to before 15 weeks.

The ruling is going to make changes to either one of both of the previous precedence, throw out one or both of the precedence or throw out the Mississippi law. Let’s look at these precedents.

Roe versus Wade federally legalized abortion based on the woman’s “right to privacy” based on the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. It based legalized abortion to the second trimester of pregnancy.

There are some real problems with this case:

• Here is Section 1 of the XIV Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
  • Do you see what’s missing here? The word privacy. In fact, the word privacy is not used in the entire Constitution. The word “privacy” was shaped in another precedent from the 1950’s.
  • The key word used here that the pro-abortion argument uses is “liberty”. This is important during the Supreme Court debate.
• Viability is not mentioned here at all. That’s because no one was sure of the viability of the fetus and the Court admits that.
  • We did know about the viability of the fetus with the discovery of the test tube baby in 1980 which should have made this precedent obsolete.
  • This is why the pro-abortionists were afraid the precedent would be overturned and wanted to make the Equal Rights Amendment and Amendment to the Constitution.

Planned Parenthood versus Casey case arose from a challenge to 5 provisions of the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act of 1982; among the provisions were requirements for a waiting period, spousal notice, and (for minors) parental consent prior to undergoing an abortion procedure. Basically, it took away the states right to make any restrictions on abortion.

It also rid the trimester system from Roe versus Wade and switched to the 40-week system. This time, viability of the fetus was determined to be 24 weeks.

There are huge problems with this law:

• It takes away states’ right to put limits on abortion. It federalizes the law. This is unconstitutional!
• It creates limits. In other words, it is creating law! That’s not the Supreme Court’s job. Abortion is not in the Constitution!
• The viability standard is still very subjective. The 24-week standard is not from science, it’s just some randomly picked number. We have had babies that have survived at 20 weeks.

Here’s the problem pro-abortionists have: Their precedents are build on sand. Roe v. Wade was always weak and everyone knows it. Even pro-abortionists know it. Planned Parenthood v. Casey tried to strengthen Roe v. Wade but it’s very weak. The reason is both create something that is not in the Constitution (they create laws) and not based on any science.

The Mississippi law does not attack Roe v. Wade directly but goes after Casey. It attacks the 24-week viability standard of Casey and the state’s ability to determine viability. All Mississippi has to prove is that a fetus is a human being, which is science, or, at least, prove that the fetus is a human being at 15 weeks. Hearing the arguments on Wednesday, they did that.
