Roe vs. Wade 46 Years Later:
(Still
the Greatest Liberties Violation in US History)
Yesterday, January 22nd,
2019, marked the 46th Anniversary of arguably the worst violation of
Individual Liberties in American History. The Supreme Court findings in the Roe vs. Wade case. It is truly amazing how people can argue that Roe vs. Wade was one of
the greatest victories for Women’s Rights in U.S History.
Let’s begin by looking at it from that
perspective. Look at the number of
abortions that occur in the United States today. According to the statistics from the Center
for Disease Control (CDC), there were an average of 1,788 abortions performed
each DAY in the United States in 2014.
That is an average of one abortion occurring every 48 seconds. Now, if we use the laws of averages and say
that on average half of those unborn children (as there are only TWO biological
genders), that means on an average day in 2014, 894 unborn women were denied an
entire litany of their “Women’s Rights”.
Their future right to vote was taken away, their future right to marry
whoever they see fit was taken away, their future right to pay equality was
taken away, their future right to worship whatever religion they see fit was
taken away and their future right of Freedom of Speech was taken away. But the greatest travesty of all, the single
greatest Women’s Right that they were denied, was the Individual Liberty that
is more important than any of those.
They were denied the right to exist!
Now, let’s widen the scope a little
bit more. Let us look at the other side
of the gender coin, the male gender. As
I previously stated, there were an average of 1,788 abortions performed each
DAY in the United States in 2014. That means
there were an average 894 unborn men denied the same litany of their Individual
Liberties. Now, I am sure there are a
number of Feminist Extremists who are perfectly fine with knowing that little
tidbit of information. But, doesn’t that
beg the question, “What were those 894 unborn men destined for in the scope of
history?” Could one of them grown up to
become the next Chief Justice William O. Douglas (a self-identified Democrat
and one of the seven Supreme Court Justices that voted in favor of Roe vs.
Wade). But then, you would have many of
your Militant Feminists contend, “Well, many of those “men” will more than
likely grow up to be male chauvinist Republicans. Douglas was clearly an exception to the rule!” My response is, “If they grew up to be
Republicans, would that necessarily be a bad thing? After all, when Roe vs. Wade was decided upon
on January 22, 1973 it was a seven to two decision. Of the seven Supreme Court Justices who found
in favor, only two of them were self-identified Democrats. Yes, that is right, five of the seven Supreme
Court Justices that found in favor of Roe (whose real name was Norma McCorvey) were
self-identified Republicans. (Just a
side note, of the two dissenting Supreme Court Justices, one of them, Justice
Byron White was a self-identified Democrat who was nominated by President John
F. Kennedy.)
Next, let’s look at the racial
aspect of the abortion topic. Non-Hispanic
Black women accounted for approximately 36% of the abortions in 2014; that is
644 unborn non-Hispanic Black children a day.
Which of those children could have grown up to be the next Martin Luther
King Jr. or the next Thurgood Marshall (the only other self-identified Democrat
to vote in support of Roe and the first African-American Supreme Court Justice). That’s not to imply that the majority of
abortions are by African American women, the majority of American abortions are
by White American women with 38%. It
begs the question. Which of these could have grown up to be the next Eleanor
Roosevelt?
What other future icons has the
world been denied because they were aborted?
How can people not ponder which of these unborn women could have grown
up to be the next titan of industry like CJ Walker or would bring forward the next
great leap in the world of medicine like Marie Curie? How many innovators like Steve Jobs, Emmy
Noether or Alexander Fleming has the world been denied? Of Course, some content that abortion is a
good thing in cases where modern medical technology has determined that the
unborn child has a severe birth defect or will have a limited life-span due to
a genetic medical condition. Well, if Frank
and Isobel Hawking had been convinced of this notion in 1942 the world would
have never known the ground-breaking genius of Stephen William Hawking (one of
the foremost minds in theoretical physics).
Another argument used as a suggested acceptable circumstance to allow
abortion is in the event of a woman being a victim of rape. So, they are saying 16 year old Helen Burns should
have chosen to have an abortion in 1941 when she was raped by her 33 year old
neighbor. Or Annie Mae Keith (a woman of
African American and Cherokee decent) should have had an abortion when she was
raped in 1926 by a white man. If Helen
Burns followed this mindset, the world would have never known civil rights
figure Jesse Jackson. As well, Annie May
Keith adhering to this train of thought would have deprived the world of the
vocal magic of legendary singer Eartha Kitt.
Many Pro-Choice supporters like to
point to the unborn child as nothing more than a “lump of tissue” that is not
an actual person because it could not survive outside the woman’s body. My response is, that means the unborn child
is no different than the woman. If you
deprive the woman of basic care, food and water, the woman would not survive either. The other main argument of abortion is it is
a “Woman’s Choice” to do with her body as she sees fit, and no one should be
able to force their will on her body. I
just pose one question to those women, if that is the case, how is you imposing
your will on the unborn child any different?
