Roe v. Wade has been celebrated as the Twentieth Century’s defining case for woman’s rights. It opened the door for women all across America to have a legal “right” to kill her baby in the womb. It is the case that is the flagship of Planned Parenthood’s and other abortion providers’ agenda and is central to the pro-abortion rights movement. Jane Roe was the central figure in this ruling. Many people don’t realize that she actually gave birth to her child, gave her up for adoption, and as of 1995, everything changed. She became a Christian (Roman Catholic) and was Roe no more. Norma McCorvey (aka Roe) passionately defends unborn/preborn life and is fighting to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Don't Miss
The Supreme travesty (ruling 7-2) found that Texas violated ”the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects against state action the right to privacy, including a woman’s qualified right to terminate her pregnancy”.1 The effect of that decision struck down state laws across the nation that charged doctors with a felony that resulted in imprisonment of at least a year, fines and in some instances cancellation of their licenses. Some states elevated the penalty against a physician to the level of murder when the mother was also killed.
But here’s the painful irony. The ‘Due Process Clause’ was the foundation for Roe v. Wade, forming the majority opinion. This phrase is found in the 14th Amendment,2 one of the Reconstruction Amendments–amendments that finally ascribed humanity and personhood to black people. Yet, in some perversion of justice, this amendment was twisted by our Supreme Court and used to strip any humanity and personhood protections from the unborn. This inexplicable reasoning extracted a right to abort from these words: “Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law”. This is perplexing. A right to kill an unborn life culled from words that expressly forbid such. This amendment was passed in 1868 and ascribed citizenship to Black Americans. Yet, 36 states did not change their abortion laws because there was no right to abort inherent in either the 14th amendment or the constitution.3 The authors of the 14th amendment never intended for it to be related to the matter of abortion in any way. And now, 50 million lives later, people still don’t know the simple truth about how Roe v. Wade was a supreme abuse of power exercised by 7 profoundly unjust justices.
The motivation behind the Roe case however, was less about women’s rights and more about an over-arching philosophy that never waned–population control, especially of those who were less than desirable. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg revealed in a July 7, 2009 New York Times Magazine article, she and others commonly believed “at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”4 Roe was the case the pro-abortion community showcased to ensure population control of blacks, the poor and other minorities. Norma McCorvey was on drugs and an alcoholic and homeless.5 But as is the case with Planned Parenthood, charity and solving the root of the problem is not within their purview (see section on Margaret Sanger). The right to exterminate life, even while a women’s life is falling apart, is all that is paramount.

Doe v. Bolton – The nail in the coffin
A companion case to Roe, Doe v. Bolton, removed the restrictions a state might place on when an abortion could be performed. It allowed for abortion at any stage to protect the “mother’s health.” This case was decided on the same day as Roe on January 22, 1973, and originated in Georgia. Just as Norma McCorvey, Doe in this instance (Sandra Cano) was duped and used by her lawyers. She never even wanted to have an abortion.6
Her appeal to the Supreme Court was refused and dismissed in 2006, although the woman behind the law that allowed Partial Birth Abortion, never personally testified in court in the original case.7 Those who champion women’s rights (especially of a right of a woman to be heard in her own legal case) are painfully silent about this travesty of justice. This is the sham of so-called “women’s rights”. You have rights as long as, ideologically, you agree with NOW, NARAL, or Planned Parenthood.
