‘Human Life’ Amendments Latest Challenge to Roe
Will this help or hurt GOP in 08?
NPR- Tuesday marks the 35th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion. Today, in many state courts, there is a push for “human life” amendments aimed at granting legal status and rights to embryos.
Well that’s just great. But why don’t we take baby steps first and get back some things like life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, (for us air breathing American Citizens for example)
And why aren’t these groups worried about human cloning or patenting life any more, eh?
More pandering to fundamentalists. So what else is new? They’ve had years to put this forth haven’t they? Why didn’t they introduce it when they controlled all branches of government?
Caroline – welcome back! This blog needs more left wing loonies like you!
I know this may be difficult for you to understand, but under the U.S. Constitution, the legislature makes laws, NOT the supreme court. Roe vs. Wade was BAD law that never should have become law in the first place as the legislative branch of our government (That’s the Senate and House of Representatives Caroline) never got the chance to have a say.
I have some statistics on this subject that just might surprise you. I’ll attempt to dig them up. For now, it may interest you to know that, given the chance, the voting population would vote this down by a three to two margin. Links to follow…..
Objective: take people’s minds off the economy and the war.
Tactic: propose silly constitutional amendments.
Effect: reveal GOPers depth of cluelessness.
Outcome: Democratic victory!

Yep, that’ll work.

Scary but sometimes we agree on things. And I am a fan of “let the states decide” with some things. Of course nobody wants “chaos with commerce” (between the states)
