The Shadow
Part of the “Ten Commandments” is the “6th Commandment” which states, “Thou shalt not kill.”
As of 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled an estimated 232 times to overturn a previous decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court, decisions that had set previous precedents.
There are those across the country spreading false information about the ruling, claiming that it takes away many individual rights that the ruling does not remotely impact in any way.
The ruling that simply returns the power to each state to determine its own law concerning abortion quickly became a political football that politicians are using as a springboard into fundraising to restore Roe v. Wade’s provision that for nearly 50 years gave women the right to have an abortion.
What does it all mean?
Lies by those with political agendas are being spread across the nation by liars claiming that the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade somehow has ended a woman’s Constitutional right to have an abortion, despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution nor the Amendments to the U.S. Constitution give a woman the right to end her pregnancy.
The ruling simply returns the power to pass laws governing abortion rights to the states. The proverbial “one shoe fits all approach to abortion” has been ended by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the right for a woman to have an abortion or not will now be determined by each state that will also have the power to legislate under what conditions if any, an abortion can be conducted lawfully.
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision has restored to each state the right to determine the timeframe during which an abortion can be performed, if at all.
Science has come a long way in understanding human anatomy since Roe v. Wade became the law of the land in 1973, and science has concluded that after four weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has a heartbeat and responds to pain.
The polarizing issue of abortion has divided the nation for nearly five decades with advocates for a woman’s right to decide to end her pregnancy being pitted against those who advocate for the sanctity of human life, offering adoption as an alternative to abortion.
Recently, the facilities of pro-life groups have been vandalized across the nation, and some national politicians have condoned protests outside of the homes of U.S. Supreme Court justices.
One mentally unstable man from California traveled across the country and was apprehended outside of Justice Neil Gorsuch’s home with weapons that he intended to use to assassinate Gorsuch.
Pro-life zealots have been convicted of fire-bombing abortion clinics in the past and others earmarked by the FBI as domestic terrorists.
The crux of the matter is that a developing human life is either left in the mother’s womb to develop and receive life outside the womb or eliminated inside the mother’s womb, never to take the first breath of life outside the womb.
The question as to whether or not a fetus is a living human being has been settled because if a woman is intentionally punched in the stomach by another person, a punch that results in the termination of her pregnancy, then the person who punched her can be convicted of murder.
Also, if the punch results in the mother’s death, then the one who did the punching can be convicted of a double homicide.
Intentionally, destroying an eagle’s egg in its nest in the U.S. is a crime punishable by up to a $5,000 fine and up to one year in prison.
The Bald and Golden Eagle Act of 1940 set the punishment for such an offense, raising the question, “How much more precious is a developing baby in the mother’s womb than a baby eagle developing in its mother’s egg?”
Who gets to speak for the unborn?
I look for the political football to be passed, punted, and kicked around as a major issue from now till Nov. 8, 2022, when the American people will have their voices heard at the ballot boxes across America.
