HOW ROE VS WADE WILL FALL

Clarke D. Forsyth of Americans United for Life recently penned an insightful article in the Washington Times (Saving Personhood: Growing Number of States Protects The Unborn Child) about the growing support in the states backing "personhood" amendments. I added a response to a critic of Forsyth's article who claimed the Roe v. Wade decision is "settled law", that is stare decisis, and should not be overturned because to do so would be imposing a "religious law". From a secularist's point of view, he's probably right, that is, Roe V. Wade will not be overturned. But like the abolition era of America in the mid-1800s where the controversy and conflict between the pro-slavery and free states did not abate after the 1857 Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford, America today is very much deeply divided about legalized abortion.  Abortion remains a defining characteristic of who we are and what we believe in. It often is a subject at the forefront of socio-political discourse in every level of society.

Is the SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) 1973 ruling in Roe v Wade settled law?
When we consider how legalized child killing after 37 years continues to divide and haunt the

consciences of the majority of the  citizenry? There are legal precedents where errors of judgment committed by SCOTUS caused untold harm to the body politic and incited prolonged social disharmony and conflict.  Consider two examples: The Dred Scott vs. Sanford case in 1857 which ruled African-Americans brought into the country as slaves were not protected by the constitution and Korematsu vs.  U.S. in 1944 where the Supreme Court majority ruled it was constitutional for the U.S. to place Japanese Americans in internment camps.

The "settled" Dred Scott decision was never overturned. It was rendered a DEAD law by the
13th amendment ratified on December 6th, 1865.

The "settled" Korematsu decision was never overturned. A congressional commission reported in February 1983, thirty-nine years after the majority of High Court justices agreed to herd Japanese-Americans into concentration camps at gunpoint that “[A] grave injustice was done to American citizens and resident aliens of Japanese ancestry who, without individual review or any probative evidence against them, were excluded, removed, and detained by the United States during World War II.”

The "settled" 1973 Roe V Wade decision and subsequent related decisions will one day in the
not so distant future, God willing, be likewise roundly rejected as an abominable affront to
constitutional law, a prime example of raw judicial activism!

But there's one difference... Americans must once again follow the prescripts of natural AND
objective moral law. Americans will stop aborting when they come to understand and accept who they are, each a precious person made in the image of the Creator,called to acknowledge the choice they make in considering abortion is not morally neutral - it is either good or evil

and will redound to their future in life and for all eternity.
