"It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Many (myself included), could not be happier if Roe dies a quick death. Will Minnesota still have legal abortions? This state? Count on it. But at least abortion will be ours to decide."
Well, last night the "ship sure hit the sand". And it had nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. This time Politico seems to have found a source which "leaked" a draft memo out into the open. A draft memo from a place which treasures secrecy when pondering a case. That of course, would be our Supreme Court. And the issue? The biggest, most contentious issue since 1973 - Roe v Wade - aka, abortion.
Wait - I thought Roe was "settled law". What happened? How in the world could SCOTUS rule otherwise? Here is the reason as some see it - it should have NEVER been a federal issue. It should have been then, and should be now, a states rights issue. And that is the secular reason. But there is more.
The moral issue. The just over 63,000,000 innocent babies which have been killed since Roe was made law. Now if Roe is overturned, it does not mean that there will never be another legal abortion in the United States. It will just depend on which state you live in. In other words, it will be a states rights issue. It will be up to the state you live in, if abortion will be legal in that state or otherwise.
But here is the dark side of this "rumor" leaked by Politico. We need to put on our conspiracy hats for a minute. With an historic Republican red wave expected in November, the Democrats could really use an issue right about now. And is there a better issue than Roe? So, what is this is all just a canard? Maybe. All smoke and no fire. But the pot will have been stirred. It is a long shot for the Dems, but right about now, any shot will do.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Many (myself included), could not be happier if Roe dies a quick death. Will Minnesota still have legal abortions? This state? Count on it. But at least abortion will be ours to decide.
But let's forget the state issue for a minute and take it down one more peg. The moral issue. This is where our churches need to come into play. Why? Abortion should have never been a legal issue. It should be a moral issue. Should have been in the past, should be now, and should be forever forward.
