Reflections on the Anniversary of 'Roe v. Wade'
A recent historian said that a line from the Declaration of Independence is the most important sentence in history. Well, certainly that sentence is exceedingly important, but I agree with those who counter-argue, “No, actually John 3:16 is the most important sentence in history.”
Meanwhile, the great statement in the Declaration is: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The Creator has bestowed upon us the right to life, but how can you square that right to live with the supposed right to abortion?
I write this piece around the anniversary of the January 22, 1973, Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade and its companion decision of the same day, Doe v. Bolton. These two decisions combined gave us abortion on demand even up to the moment of birth. And about 65 million abortions have taken place since that day.
Although Roe was overturned in 2022 by the Dobbs v. Jackson, the fallout from Roe continues. It’s like a phantom limb syndrome, where one is feeling a missing limb as if it's still attached.
Abortion is the Holy Grail to the American left. It dominates all other considerations.........
