Roe V. Wade - Let's talk about the elephant in the womb. Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. Date decided: January 22, 1973 ** For further reference: Jane ROE, et al., Appellants, v. Henry WADE. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremeco... ** “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft circulated inside the court. The 98 page draft opinion can be found at this link: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05... If Roe is repealed it will set us back as a society more than just fifty years. It will cause greater harm than good, and will open the door to further hardships on women (and even minors) who become pregnant, whether by accident or rape or incest. A quote/citation from justice Alito's written draft: " Two treatises by Sir Matthew Hale described abortion of a quick child who died in the womb as a 'great crime' and a great 'misprision'. See M. Hale. Pleas of the Crown" Sir Matthew Hale was a 17th century English barrister also wrote "a husband cannot be guilty of a rape committed by himself upon his lawful wife." He also sentenced two women to death for witchcraft. And this is who Alito cites? Feel free to LIKE, SHARE AND COMMENT, and don’t forget to SMASH the subscribe button.
