Just the Facts Ma'am!

 Somewhere a leftist is proud of himself for leaking a Supreme Court document on Roe v, Wade. You know they are a Democrat because the Democrats desperately need a diversionary issue to have a chance in this year's Congressional elections. 

Is "the right" to get an abortion going to outweigh rampant inflation and $5 gasoline in the minds of voters? Will federal subsidies for abortions be used by Planned Parenthood for political donations to the Democratic Party? Wait, I am pretty sure that they already do that.

Which is more important to you, groceries on the shelf or Sally getting her third abortion? Do you want to wait in line for bread? Or do you want to get bred so you can have an abortion?

The Roe decision will be overturned at some point because it is simply bad law. The opinion of the Burger Court notwithstanding, there is simply no "right to privacy" written or implied in the Constitution. As long as I am on that issue, regulation of marriage, whether it be gay or regular is not a function of the Constitution either. Read that Tenth Amendment thing one more time.

Don't bother looking up the Tenth Amendment. Here it is, in all of its glory. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Given 49 years since Roe v. Wade, the Congress has failed to pass a bill "codifying" (this week's HOT word) that ruling. Why not? 1. They don't have the votes. 2. They don't have enough support from the people.

Liberals are screaming about Roe v Wade being "established law" for almost 50 years. Memo to libs: Courts are not supposed to "make laws".  They claim that Roe is a precedent and precedents must live forever. Unfortunately, precedents are frequently overruled. "Dred Scott" was a precedent, but I don't see anyone calling for it to be enforced. "Plessy v Ferguson" was a precedent for almost 60 years before "Brown v Board of Education". I have not heard anyone calling for that to be brought back. 

So now, Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer says that the Senate will vote next week on a bill to "codify" Roe v Wade. He just wants to force everyone to take a stand on this during an election year. He may get a surprise or two in this voting. This bill isn't about 'abortion rights". It is about trying to influence an election where his party looks like it is going to take an ass beating. 

How stupid are Democrats? They want to vote on a bill that a leaked document has stated will be unconstitutional. If the Democrats want to "codify" abortion rights, it is going to take a constitutional amendment. They don't have 38 states that will support that. But this all isn't about "abortion tights", it is about political posturing. Democrats are posers pretending that they care about people. They only care on Election Day.

Everybody keeps saying that a majority of Americans support "abortion rights". This is caused by a lot of support in large population states like New York and California. Do they have a majority of support in a majority of states? The question is, do you have those 38 states that you need for that constitutional amendment? 

In the 49 years since Roe was decided, there have been scores of different birth control medications and devices developed to prevent pregnancies. Most of these are given away free by health departments. Why do we still need to perform hundreds of thousands of abortions a year?

We need more data on abortions. We need some facts to make a good decision. So, here's my list of questions.

How many abortions are actually performed every year? I want numbers for the last ten years.

How many of these are due to rape? We need police reports.

How many are due to actual medical complications? We will need details from doctors.

What is the income level of those getting abortions?

How many women have had more than one abortion?

What is the breakdown on ages of those getting abortions?

What is the racial breakdown on those getting abortions?

How many of those getting abortions had heard about "birth control"?

How many fathers were permitted to have a voice in whether or not the child will be aborted? 

If Democrats want support from the public, it is time for honest discussions about how and to whom all of this is happening. I will close this "way too long" rant with a simple question. If this issue is actually about "women's health", why isn't anyone talking about the health of the female fetuses being aborted? Let's face it, about half of those aborted would have been girls if allowed to live.
