But then some radical activist women lawyers who wanted to legalize abortion, got hold of a young woman who did not want her (third) baby, so seven of nine men in black cloaks eventually overturned what the people of this country had decided.

Even if abortion had been an option back in 1787 when the U.S. Constitution was written, I think the Founding Fathers would not have been so arrogant as to make it the law of the land. I think they would have preferred to err on the side of caution, taking care to consider what might be offensive to God. Roe vs. Wade was a major milestone in the ongoing disintegration of the family, which is the core of civilization. Divorce, single parent families, families on welfare with no father are all commonplace now. Marriage isn't necessarily between a man and a woman anymore, and there are lots more than just the two genders that us old people grew up thinking there are.

I've never thought of myself as having really strong opinions on any of these topics. Just think if I did, though.

Here is an interesting article about the woman known as Jane Roe.
