“I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.” Ronald Reagan
Supreme Court Justice and far-Left viable Elena Kagan said on Wednesday that abortion is “part of the fabric of women’s existence in this country.” She was not referring to the existence of women who, as pre-born babies, are killed every year, but to women like herself who have already been born. Kagan was attempting to defend the 1973 Roe v. Wade precedent in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case.
She butted heads with Mississippi Solicitor General Scott G. Steward during oral arguments at SCOTUS who was attempting to defend Mississippi's 2018 law banning abortion, including in cases of rape and incest, before 15 weeks of pregnancy.
After all, it isn't the fault of the fetus that his or her mother was raped, and should not have to be killed on that basis.
Kagan said that the Court must avoid the perception that it was merely a political body--in spite of the fact that Roe itself had created that notion and she failed to acknowledge that--and she argued that nothing much had changed since Roe and Planned Parenthood of Southeaster Pennsylvania v. Case (1992) to change the principles at stake.
Which is precisely the point, Stewart argued, because they "have no basis in the Constitution."

The rights in question, he said, belonged not only to women but also to unborn children, and that the people, not judges, should decide the balance.
The battle continues between those who would kill unwanted babies against those who deem life precious. The Court's decision may be reached Friday, but Monday may be more likely. Whatever decision is reached, there will be fury and the gnashing of teeth.
