SCOTUS has the votes to overturn Roe vs Wade. Former President Donald Trump appointed 3 conservative justices to the Supreme Court of the United States which has given the SCOTUS a conservative leaning for the many years to come. Another example how political maneuverings affect the delivery of justice by the highest court in the USA (not uncommon to the USA). A leak of a draft opinion suggests SCOTUS will reverse Roe vs Wade, one of the biggest wedge issues ‘bubbling’ in the US public space; the right of a woman to have an abortion which the Roe vs Wade decision has protected for 50 years after SCOTUS issued a 7 to 2 decision in favour of Norma McCorvey 1973.

    You talk about government this
    And mother that

    These unborn babies as you call them, made by the sperm that hit the egg? Where this sperm come from? And the persons who produce the sperm what is their role and responsibility? Because even while I have heard of governments screwing the people, I have never heard of governments producing sperm, nor have I heard of governments impregnating anyone. So I don’t think that the sperm produces should lay this responsibility on governments.

    Sometimes an abortion is done to save you guys from spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on another guy’s child.

    You should be grateful when abortions are readily available.

    I certainly cannot understand the lasting impacted of rape from the perspective of a woman, but as you related your experienced, I had had a similar one on one my of many summer vacations, as a young man during the Cropover Festival. I came down from the States dressing in this White see through pant, and it so happened I was at a Cropover show down town, and it started to rain and we run into this build, and this man who I believed had been watching me all night, got behind me and pressed his private parts against my rear end, and because of the nature of the crowd I could not turned left nor right to get away from this bulla.

    I speak the TRUTH. The elderly lady was sobbing so loudly that I could hear her clearly from another room. I did not wish to intrude into the conversation, so after she left I asked my mother, and then later I asked my mother, and both my mother and aunt without consulting each other told me the same story. The woman and her sister had been raped by their father when they were 14 or 15. She was then in her 70’s.

    I don’t know what divine forgiveness you talk about. God had nothing to do with the rape. The rapist had decades to ask for forgiveness and he never did. Clearly he felt no need to be forgiven.

    I’ve noticed that the Justices of the US Supreme court have on average fewer biological children 1.4 compared to 1.7 for other Americans.

    I’ve noticed also that they seem to marry and become parents later than average. First marriage occurring as late as older than 40.

    If I was a American I would ask some questions about this apparent discrepancy.

    Were there any ooppsss!!! along the way?



  7. Cuhdear

    I know that rape is a life changing experienced, but it all depends on how the victim handle their victimization, and I say that to say this: quite a few of the noted American Serial Killers, were abused as kids.
    And because they were victimized as kids, they in turn victimized others to compensate for their victimization, but what above the thousands of others who were victimized as kids,and never thought once of victimized an other due to their victimization?


  8. Some people care about the rights of the unborn, not so much after they arrive. The politicians US couldn’t even pass gun control laws after Sandy Hook where 26 infants were murdered. It is supposed to be the richest country in the world, yet 11 million children live in poverty. It is a country that refused to authorize a bill that would expand child tax credits for poor women yet can celebrate tax cuts for the rich with a President saying to a room full of fat cats ‘You all just got a lot richer”.

    Of 41 of the most advanced nations in ranks 36 in child wellness as in

    “The Netherlands, Denmark and Norway topped the list, which takes into account data on the mental and physical health of children as well as their skills as measured by international exams. Mental well-being includes both life satisfaction as well as suicide rates; physical health includes rates of overweight and obesity as well as child mortality, and skills focuses both on proficiency in reading and mathematics as well as social skills”.

    Yeah they care about the unborn, but all bets are off after they make their appearance.

    @Critical Analyzer May 4, 2022 3:06 PM “Yes, I believe life begins when the sperm hits the egg”

    You know that sperm is alive right?

    Yet I don’t see you arranging any funerals for the l’il fellas every time you jerk off.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Both egg and sperm are alive.

    Sperm is more likely to be just absorbed back into the body and not expelled …. I guess.

    There is not one but two factories producing sperm.

    Every month, an egg dies, regardless of what a woman does … unless it meets that special sperm and together they create a completely new life.

    Otherwise it gets expelled from the body until all the eggs a woman had when she passed through puberty die … or meet its one magical sperm produced by one of those two factories.

    This new life is amazing and beyond human comprehension.

    We may mimic the process in the lab but there is no way on earth that the process can be recreated by human kind.

    All any human can do is watch in awe and enjoyment as a new human emerges with the innate abilities to do the impossible.

    It is criminal to kill that new life because no one knows what that new life is put on this earth to do.

    Even the antichrist has a right to life because he has a pre ordained purpose.

    There is nothing anyone can do about his arrival.

    Measuring paternal discrepancy and its public health consequences

    Now that we know that perhaps 4% or up to 30% of us of us on this blog are NOT our father’s children, perhaps we can discuss the legal termination of pregnancy more rationally.


  11. “A female baby is born with all the eggs that she will ever have. This is estimated to be around two million, but by the time a girl reaches puberty, this number has decreased to about 400,000 eggs stored in her ovaries.”

    No woman lives 400,000 months after puberty so most eggs are just absorbed into the body.

    But every month, each of one or two or several of those eggs present themselves for the meeting of their special sperm.


  12. Paternity or for that matter maternity is irrelevant, existence of the child is the only thing that matters.

    A man can be a father of any child that is not his just as a woman can be a mother of any child that isn’t hers through adoption.

    … and God is the Father of us all.

    We begin our prayers with “Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name” regardless of who our human fathers are.

    That new life is special and it is only God the Father who gives it when he causes that special egg and sperm to meet.

  15. I have found that personalization of an issue often simplifies it. Instead of engaging in a protracted discussion of ifs and buts, the matter is plainly laid out on the table.

    The questions to ask yourself are these: if my wife or daughter was raped, would I want to keep the baby?
    Would I want to be named as father to such a baby?
    Could I give this baby, born of a foul and vicious act, the same level of love that I would give my own child?

    I will not pretend to be a saint or a good man. I would prefer not to have this baby in my life.

    If my relative decided to keep the baby, I would try my best to support them even if I could not ‘love’ the child. My preference would be that they not keep the child.

    Of course, it would be best if we all practice safe sex or if the decision to have a child was joint and born of love, but shit happens. To pretend otherwise is not helpful.


  16. As someone has already pointed out. Some of those who are against having an abortion, are often willing to abandon the child as soon as the child’s head leave the womb. They offer no support to the child, but will apply all the social labels that a group carries.

    It is almost as if they enjoy the newborn having a life of misery.

    SCOTUS is as bent and corrupt as the White race

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Do you realise that abortion is far more prevalent among black women?

    “—Almost three-quarters of all abortions in 2019 were in Blacks and white women. Black women had the highest rate — almost 24 abortions per 1,000 women; white women had the lowest, at almost 7 per 1,000 women. The CDC data on race is from 30 areas that reported race and ethnicity.”

    If you are a black baby curled up in your mothers womb waiting to enter the world thinking you will bring joy to your mother and loved ones you are three times more likely to be terminated than if you are white.

    … and there is more than a 50% chance that it will be your own mother will personally see to your termination, not a third party.

    “—More than half of U.S. abortions — 54% — are done with pills rather than medical procedures. That rate has been increasing since 2000 when mifepristone, the main drug used, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The preliminary rate, from 2020, will be updated later this year but is expected to remain above 50%, according to Guttmacher.”

    https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/us-abortion-trends-changed-landmark-1973-ruling-84474274

    The decision if it becomes final will provide more protection for black babies against their own black mothers seeking to terminate their young lives.

    according to the statistical data on child molestation or child sexual assaulted, if you see eight women one of those eight had been sexually molested, and if you see five men one of those men had been sexually molested in their lifetime, but we see where the numbers are higher for women as apposed to men, or is because of the way society view male masculinity that males are afraid to come forward and report such abuse because of the stigma associated with such reports?

    All the overturn will do is kick the decision back to the lawmakers hands at the state and federal level where it should have been properly debated by the legislature from the start.

    From what I read of the draft opinion, he is stating abortion is not explicitly mention in the constitution like free speech and right to bear arms so it is up to the state legislature and congress to debate the pros and cons and write the law.

    Roe v Wade was a cop out from properly debating the issue and passing the required laws.

Of course the leaked draft was intended to drive all this narrative, incentivize voters for November (and primaries too) and ideally cause enough questioning around the final decision but according to what we know of how SCOTUS works it’s really a fool’s longing that ‘it’s not a done deal’!

    Such draft decisions go before the justices for the minority to write their opinions but before all that there must be meetings and discussions and a ruling from which the CJ appoints the justice to write the MAJORITY decision… can votes shift and a majority decision move to a minority one!

    Well, yes I presume but on THIS point of law about which EVERY justice has been forever ideologically grounded probably since her/his first day at law school. I think NOT!

    Justice Samuel Alito: There is “No Such Right” to Abortion in the Constitution

    We were confident the Supreme Court would uphold the Dobbs late-term abortion case and were cautiously optimistic that it would also overturn Roe.

    Then the bombshell hit – a leaked document, the first draft of Justice Alito’s majority opinion reversing Roe and Casey!

    Until Monday the Supreme Court had a flawless history of keeping its closed-door deliberations under wraps. Yet the decision expected to be announced at the end of June was out there for all to see.

    Chief Justice John Roberts verified the document is authentic but cautioned that it did not yet represent the final decision of every Justice. Even so we have good reason for joyful optimism but it’s premature to celebrate until the final draft is made public.

    It is the strength of Alito’s statements that gives reason for encouragement. It is a robust repudiation of Roe. Here are a few excerpts.

    Raw Judicial Power

    To start, Justice Alito describes the abortion landscape before the 1973 decision. “At the time of Roe 30 states still prohibited abortion at all stages. In the years prior to that decision, about a third of the States had liberalized their laws, but Roe abruptly ended that political process. It imposed the same highly restrictive regime on the entire Nation, and it effectively struck down the abortion laws of every single State. As Justice Byron White aptly put it in his dissent, the decision represented the ‘exercise of raw judicial power.’”

    Bad Jurisprudence

    Legal experts on both sides of the abortion debate have criticized Roe as cringeworthy constitutional law. Alito and the majority agree. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision…”

    Not only was Roe bad law, it and Casey divided our nation. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

    Stare Decisis

    Much has been said about stare decisis, that is, to stand by things decided. Alito deals with stare decisis in firm fashion. “The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions.” An argument we’ve heard repeatedly by advocates of Roe. Alito sets the record straight, “On the contrary, an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1973.”

    The humility with which Alito deals with stare decisis is a legal breath of fresh air. “We have long recognized, however, that stare decisis is ‘not an inexorable command’…when one of our constitutional decisions goes astray, the country is usually stuck with the bad decision unless we correct our own mistake.”

    He lists an abundance of examples that demonstrate this isn’t the first time a major decision has been reversed. “On many other occasions, this Court has overruled important constitutional decisions. Without these decisions, American constitutional law as we know it would be unrecognizable, and this would be a different country.”

    Piling On

    The majority believe that the Court made bad law with Roe and compounded the mistake with Casey. “Roe was on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided, and Casey perpetuated its errors…the Court usurped the power to address a question of profound moral and social importance that the Constitution unequivocally leaves for the people.”

    Judicial Edict a Failure

    Alito demonstrates wisdom and empathy for a nation divided by Roe. “This Court cannot bring about the permanent resolution of a rancorous national controversy simply by dictating a settlement and telling the people to move on.”

    Let the People Decide

    Finally, Alito et. al. refuse to legislate from the bench. “We therefore hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”

    The battle to protect innocent human life will continue after the demise of Roe. The fight moves into the states where the pro-life grassroots network excels. Pro-lifers are exceedingly mindful that many women may feel abandoned without access to abortion. It is our job to connect them with the many resources, both existing and being built, that will empower them to flourish as mothers.

    The other side was quick to go on the attack claiming that those who refuse to cower to abortion on demand are evil. Democrat Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, “I am furious, furious that Republicans could be this cruel, that the Supreme Court could be this heartless.” They are the ones who facilitate killing tens of millions of babies yet accuse us of showing no mercy.

    Pro-life education is more important now than ever as the battlelines move to the states where knowledge can save countless lives. We’re ready, willing and able to enter into the next phase of defending every baby from the moment of fertilization to natural death.
