FOURTH AMENDMENT [U.S. Constitution] - 'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..."
The 1973 case of Roe v. Wade resulted in a landmark judicial opinion regarding privacy and abortion in the United States.[1] According to the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe decision, most laws against abortion violated a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision overturned all state and federal laws outlawing or restricting abortion that were inconsistent with its holdings.
*****************************************************
At the heart of Roe v. Wade is the belief that the constitution is blind; blind to all facts but that you are a citizen of the United States of America. Here in South Dakota, our rights as American women is once again being threatened by HB1293.
I won't even talk about the fact that the info came on the inclusive homeschooling list, gathering support for the bill stating: The legislators in Pierre have put in a new abortion ban bill, which includes exceptions for rape and incest, as long as the proper law enforcement authorities are notified to protect the women and girls from the criminals.
Read it, it's scary and medieval. Sometimes I find it really hard to believe I can be so much smarter than folks who go through life thinking they're the smartest ape in the jungle. Even deeper, that there's a god somewhere who finds purpose in these insanity-causing lives and said god probably feels some kind of affection for them, love perhaps? Some days I'd rather not be so smart, or maybe I'd just rather be an atheist.
