I get the impression that most people do not understand the huge significance of Biden’s statement about promising to make abortion an actual law of the land. This statement proves that the left fully understands that abortion is not a law in our country that has been passed by the democratic process that our system of government is based on.
Our government is set up in such a way that our laws come by a vote of legislative bodies whose members have been elected by a democratic vote of the people. Our courts do not make laws. The legislatures make laws. Our courts are to take the laws, as passed in a democratic manner, and apply them in deciding nuances in cases brought before them.
In 1973, the liberal left knew they couldn’t get abortion passed through the legislative process in Congress, otherwise they would have done so. But they knew there was quirk in our system that the courts can declare anything as law even though the legislature never really passed it as law. Instead of the democratic process of getting a law passed by a Congress elected by the vote of 300 million Americans, they can go to the Supreme Court where they only need five of those 300 million Americans to be on their side. So the left did this end-around and got abortion made the law of the land via the Supreme Court in 1973.
The proof that there is no real law passed by Congress with respect to abortion rights is that the Supreme Court itself said in justifying their ruling that while the right to abortion isn’t in the text of the Constitution, they felt that it is implied in the Constitution. That is an incredibly bogus statement since you can use such a statement to legalize anything you want. You just simply state that whatever you want is implied in the Constitution. Also, they said that what was implied was that woman has a right to privacy. Again, this is a bogus reasoning. It can be applied to justify amy other crimes, especially any sexual crimes, if everyone has a right to privacy in what they do.
Another observation is that 100% of all news articles and other writings published about Roe v. Wade since it was ruled on by the Supreme Court specifically state that the Supreme Court “legalized” abortion in 1973. They all say this same statement. However, the courts are not to create law. They do not legalize anything. That is the role of legislative bodies in a democracy. Courts are there to apply the law, as passed by the legislatures.
Roe v. Wade is absolutely against the American system of government. Any correct jurist on the Supreme Court, even one who personally supports abortion, would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, not because of the issue of abortion itself, but because there is nothing in the Constitution, nor any law passed by Congress, that Roe v. Wade refers to. Biden recognizes this, as do the other liberal leaders who are now publicly calling for a real law to be passed by Congress to actually legalize abortion.
