Reversing Roe and Doe

Reversing Roe and Doe

There is plenty of scientific evidence that resolves “the difficult question of when life begins” today.

In Roe v. Wade and in its companion case, Doe v. Bolton, United States Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun (November 12th, 1908 – March 4th, 1999) came to the conclusion that there was “no scientific consensus” as to when life begins.

United States Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun wrote in Roe vs. Wade:

“We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.” (1)

There is plenty of scientific evidence that resolves “the difficult question of when life begins” today.

United States Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun also wrote:

“The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a ‘person’ within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well-known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment. The appellant conceded as much on reargument.” (2)

As such, the way to end legalized abortion in America, today, once and for all, is clear …

If the United States Supreme Court reverses Roe based on a legal opinion or interpretation of a legal precedent, each states WILL HAVE the right to legalize abortion or not.

However …

If the United States Supreme Court clearly establishes personhood for “living human beings” from the beginning of their biological development as “human beings” ( i.e., “human organism” ), regardless of the means by which he or she was procreated, method of reproduction, age, race, sex, gender, physical well-being, function, size, level of development, environment, and/or degree of physical or mental dependency and/or disability, within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment, (3) the right to life for the child in the womb would then be guaranteed specifically by the Fourteenth (14th) Amendment, and the states WILL NOT HAVE the right to legalize abortion.

“The Issues4Life Foundation is praying that the United States Supreme Court will reverse Roe and Doe and that the decision to reverse Roe and Doe will be based on uncompromising biblical truth that is additionally supported by the overwhelming abundance of scientific evidence supporting the humanity of the child in the womb of his or her mother today (4) and end abortion once and for all.”
