Ever since the riots of 2020, I didn't believe the Lefties could get any more irrational and emotional. With the tsunami of Democrat hysterics following the leak of the Supreme Court's draft opinion about the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, it's obvious I was wrong.
It's been like watching the death throes of critical thinking playing out in real time. This one draft opinion, if it holds, will return abortion laws to the states--in accordance with the Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution. Details, details. What it really means, according to the Left, is banning interracial marriage and the mass confiscation of birth control pills. And don't forget, "they" (those dastardly conservatives) are coming for gay people.
All of this societal carnage, cascading from one DRAFT document. Good grief, Lefties, calm down. Have an herbal tea. Take a break from screeching long enough to read the actual draft document that was so mistreated. If you can read, you can understand that the draft is completely limited to one single legal ruling--Roe v. Wade, only.
The United States has been in turmoil over Roe v. Wade since the decision was issued, back when I was in college. That's because it is terrible law. In 1973, the abortion issue was already working its way through the states. New York legalized abortion in 1970--three years before Roe v. Wade. The 1973 ruling federalizing abortion was an arrogant usurpation by the Supreme Court of the voters' rights to determine the laws of their respective states. It is the quintessential example of "legislation from the bench," and that is the reason it has stuck in America's craw for nearly half a century. It's high time we coughed it out and got back to the rightful constitutional business of making our own state laws, thank you.
Therein lies the true problem. Self-determination and States' rights don't sit well with the totalitarian crowd. They should at least make an effort to give that pesky US Constitution and Bill of Rights a read-through. Like it or not, they are still the law of the land. If you do read them, you won't find the word "abortion" anywhere in the documents.
Neither will you find the word "vaccine." There were many women, pregnant or trying to be, who lost their jobs because they refused the Covid vaccine. Where was Vice President Harris and her self-righteous outrage then?
“How dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? How dare they?” thundered Kamala Harris at a Democratic fundraising event on Tuesday, ranting about the leaked draft. "How dare they try to deny women their rights and their freedoms?”
