Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This is a deep dive into the principles underlying the main opinion in Dobbs and the concurrences, as well as the utter lack of principles underlying the dissent. Given the length of the majority opinion, concurrence, and dissent in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org., it has taken me a

Justice Alito’s opinion — his assurances to the contrary notwithstanding — threatens the entire edifice of activist precedents passed during the last century. And that is a very, very good thing. The primal scream from progressives over Justice Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is both obscene and justified.

If you scan the internet, you’ll see a number of headlines stating that the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument today in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case out of Mississippi that challenges Roe v. Wade. I’m completely disinterested because I’m certain that the outcome is pre-determined: Roe v. Wade will

I think there’s a good argument to be made that the Democrats’ Equality Act violates a woman’s constitutional right to privacy. The basis for unlimited abortion in America is a woman’s right to privacy. It says so in Roe v. Wade, with its talk of emanations and penumbras: The Constitution does

In a world in which Leftism and Islam have joined in battle for ascendancy, lies are the coin of the realm and truth is a rare and precious commodity. The posts to which I’ve linked today, for the most part, illustrate the lies that permeate modern Western culture. Law written in

If you haven’t yet heard, Norma McCorvey, the “Roe” in Roe v. Wade, died today. She came to fame as a rape victim who, claimed abortion proponents, should have been allowed an abortion. After the Supreme Court decision, McCorvey became an abortion rights activist. McCorvey also made her life story

I read an interesting exchange on Facebook involving a Progressive woman who is terrified of Trump. The conversation started with a challenge to way in which women living under sharia law are brutally abused. While acknowledging this abuse in faraway places, the woman insisted that those were cultural issues and

Continue readingThe starting point for any discussion about abortion is, of course, Roe v. Wade. Pro-abortion people like to throw that case name around like a magic talisman that allows abortion from the moment of conception until some time after birth. They invariably forget that Roe v. Wade was a very

After describing the way VP Biden’s mention of Obama and
Continue readingIn 1973, the United States Supreme Court created a federal right to abortion by finding that abortion falls into an unstated Constitutional dimension called “the right to privacy.” (Note: British and American common law has always recognized a right to privacy, but the Constitution makes no mention of it.) Thus,

After all, when you think about it, the only thing that Obama has done for women is to order employers to provide insurance
