Will Roe v. Wade be overturned?

[mexolic]

This coming January 22, 2013, marks the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s
infamous decision to legalize abortion. What’s interesting is that of the Majority Justices
in the Roe v. Wade decision, 5 of the 7 were appointed by Republican presidents. Does it seem grim that Roe v. Wade will ever be overturned? It’s estimated that there has been as many as 50 million abortions since 1973. Please pray for an end to abortion.

Roe V Wade will never be over turned.

Even if by magic it was, it would merely put the issue of abortion back into the hands of the States, and I know of very few local politicians who want to run for office on the abortion issue.

But this is probably the wrong forum for the discussion.

Yes, it will. Won’t end abortion, though. Will throw it back to each state (as Jim mentioned)

Wishful thinking.

If it could’ve been overturned, the attempt would’ve been made when the Republicans controlled both Congress and the White House. However, such was not the case. They didn’t even try.

Not up for them to try. The SCOTUS has to be presented with a case limiting Roe v Wade, then make a decision. It won’t be overturned all at once, probably, but bit by bit.

The Arizona case sounds like a perfect beginning.

The case won’t be heard, because precedent has already been made with the Roe V Wade decision. Even both judges Roberts and Alito said as much.

It’s why legislators avoid making laws that would be viewed as unconstitutional based on that decision.

Hmm. Well, a law then

 

[JimR-OCDS]

They won’t attempt to write a law, because being that the majority are lawyers, they respect the precedent set by the SCOTUS.

Besides, they’d never have enough votes in both the house and senate to pass it and be veto proof from a pro-abortion president.

2 words: Dred Scott. These things can and have been overturned. Keep the faith, brother

Dread Scott had states, not just individuals in opposition.

Anyway, I admire your optimism, but I can’t share with you in it.

Let’s pray that it is, but not only for that of course, but that abortion ends all together.

Abortion will end through education.

When abortion clinics don’t have clients, they go out of business.

It’s the best way to change the hearts and minds on the issue of abortion.

All the other acts, especially the nasty name calling, has only served to support abortion
as the opponents merely dig their heels in to defend their positions.

Yes, prayer is also the answer, for when we pray, God will give us the wisdom in our words to help educate and heel.

Exactly. When the demand goes away, the supply will dry up overnight. Pray, Pray, Pray.

Pray…but also reach out. I’m not advocating bringing it up In every conversation but there are ways to make the point. When someone in the office is pregnant, we all get to talk about the wonder of new life and how early Mom knew. We get to go through each stage of baby’s development and how amazing it is. While you’re sharing all this, others are listening. Talk about what you’re doing to help. I’ve talked about going to BJ’s to buy diapers and other baby goods for our church to give to mothers who need help. People outside the church need to see that our opposition isn’t all we are, that there is a deep reason for why we feel the way we do.

An abortion clinic in La Puente, California closed it’s doors last year after prayer
vigils were held outside it’s facility. The clinic was loosing business as a result of the
peaceful protests. It involved 40 Days for Life and parishoners from two local Catholic churches.

If you believe so, but it isn’t the reality.

The reality is, a clinic down in Arizona closed, because they didn’t have clients to make it worth staying open, this is according to their own statements.

If the customers were available and a buck to be made, they would’ve done whatever it took to remove protesters who interfered with customers entering. For these people, $$$ is their motivation.

I know of a clinic that has has protesters for over 20 years. They still operate with a supply of customers. The protesters have to stay on the other side of the street, per court order. If the customers dry up, they’ll go out of business, plain and simple.
