Polls and percentages are totally irrelevant. Expert medical opinions, legislative or judicial rulings are totally irrelevant. No human being–whether a Supreme Court justice, a state judge or legislator, a doctor or group of doctors, or “members of the public with an opinion” has a right to determine at what point another PERSON’s life can be snuffed out.

Roe v. Wade–the ruling itself–declares that their ruling could be overturned by new technology, that if it could be proven that a fetus is a PERSON, life in the womb would (automatically) be guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment and thereby protected by the Constitution.

THAT PERSONHOOD HAS NOW BE PROVEN. Technology–science–has demonstrated what fetology textbooks have taught all along, that life begins at conception. At the point of human conception an explosion of light takes place which has been caught on microscopic cameras. The moment at which the sperm penetrates a particular egg, a brand new human cell (zygote) is formed with its own DNA. That unique DNA (distinct from that of the mother) will be contained in every subsequent cell formed from that first cell, containing all the characteristics of that one-off human being. That new person is, by definition, thereby protected throughout life by the Constitution. (See my IFA articles, “DOBBS: THE ELEPHANT IN THE COURTROOM” and its sequel, “EVEN IF WE OVERTURN ROE, IT’S NOT ENOUGH.”)

ROE V. WADE HAS BEEN OVERTURNED. It has been effectively nullified as a precedent for all further rulings regarding abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court. BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN BACK TO THE STATES. In light of science, no human being can choose a point of viability at which abortions should cease. The point of viability has been revealed to us by technology, by science–BY GOD!–and that point is conception. Beyond that, we are killing a PERSON in violation of our American Constitution.

Can you imagine our nation basing laws against slavery on opinion polls “based on registered voters from June 28-29: Banning slavery is supported by over 75% of the people polled, while only 25% said slavery should be allowed under certain conditions…”

Can you imagine allowing justice for enslaved human beings to be determined by votes by state legislatures in individual states? It’s preposterous.

WE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM THE MINDSET THAT HUMAN BEINGS HAVE ANY RIGHT TO DETERMINE THE POINT OF VIABILITY BEYOND WHICH WE CANNOT KILL A PERSON. THAT POINT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY GOD AND IT IS THE POINT OF CONCEPTION. Beyond that point, we must tread very carefully because we are trespassing on holy ground.
