SCOTUS Rules Black Lives DON’T Matter


Who needs the U.S. Constitution when a mere handful of unelected and unaccountable justices can create their own laws from the bench … conjuring up legislation in the guise of a judgment?  In Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, Justice Breyer invokes the word “Constitution” 103-times (in one form or another) in the majority opinion – yet completely ignores the founding document in this ruling that protects the Gosnells (the baby killing physician of Philadelphia) around the country.

Let’s not forget: The U.S. Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade (legalizing abortion on demand) started as a lie in Bryan/College Station in Texas.  In order to challenge the state’s law protecting unborn human life, Norma McCorvey (aka Roe) lied about being gang-raped.  [She actually ended up making a loving plan of adoption for her daughter.]  But lies often shape legislation.  And our liberal SCOTUS has no problem contributing its own falsehoods in defending a so-called ‘right’ that doesn’t exist in the Constitution … or the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.  I would love to know where (exactly) reside the words in the Constitution allowing someone to kill an innocent, defenseless human being.  So supremely arrogant justices make it up with phrases like “right to privacy” and “reliance” (as in women rely on abortion to be equal) and now, “undue burden” that replace the Constitution with judicial (im)moral relativism.

Texas’ HB2 law was passed in direct response to the arrest and conviction of murderer/abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell.  His filthy “House of Horrors” was the result of un-enforcement of existing laws and non-existence of regulations requiring abortion mills to operate with the standards of real medical facilities.  TX moved to protect women.  The SCOTUS moved to protect the predators.

HB2’s requirement of hospital admitting privileges and ambulatory building standards came directly from the Gosnell Grand Jury report’s recommendations:
“If oversight agencies expect to prevent future Dr. Gosnells, they must find the fortitude to enact and enforce the necessary regulations.  Rules must be more than words on paper.  We recommend that the Pennsylvania Department of Health plug the hole it has created for abortion clinics.  They should be explicitly regulated as ambulatory surgical facilities, so that they are inspected annually and held to the same standards as all other outpatient procedure centers.”

HB2 also followed the exact wording of the unconstitutional Roe decision which stated, unambiguously: “... a State may regulate the abortion procedure to the extent that the regulation reasonably relates to the preservation and protection of maternal health.”

So, what was pro-abortion Justice Breyer’s response?  “Both the admitting-privileges and the surgical-center requirements place a substantial obstacle in the path of women seeking a provability abortion, constitute an undue burden on abortion access, and thus violate the Constitution.”

Not content with ignoring common sense, the left judicial activists of SCOTUS explained why laws were not necessary:
“Gosnell’s behavior was terribly wrong.  But there is no reason to believe that an extra layer of regulation would have affected that behavior.  Determined wrongdoers, already ignoring existing statutes and safety measures, are unlikely to be convinced to adopt safe practices by a new overlay of regulations.”

Well, what more can be said?!  The SCOTUS doesn’t care about protecting minority women in TX; just that abortionists can operate without any barriers.  In TX, the abortion rate is nearly 3Xs higher among black women (22.7 per 1,000 women ages 15-44) than white women (8.1); and more 2Xs as high as Hispanics (10.1).  [see the Radiance Foundation factsheet]  There’s no lack of access to abortion in the Lone Star State. There are 34 Planned Parenthood (PP) abortion/abortion referral centers (in addition to other abortion mills) providing an extremely limited scope of “reproductive healthcare.” Abortion is their money-maker; and they’ll spend millions of our tax dollars to defend it and support candidates who support it.  But there are over 3,000 state-funded comprehensive ‘real’ medical providers made possible through the TX Women’s Health Program.  This initiative delivers the full spectrum of reproductive medical care to even more low-income women … now that the state has defunded billion-dollar PP. 

Many of the same pro-abortion activists who claim that racism exists everywhere else in American life won’t see the obvious racism in the one industry that has targeted, disproportionately, the black community with race-specific birth control initiatives (e.g. The Negro Project) and abortion.  Abortion (nationwide) is the leading killer of black lives … contrary to the fact-less assertions of the Black Lives Matter movement.  Abortion snuffs out 317,547 unarmed black lives in the womb annually.  This is more than all other causes of death — 286,797 — combined.

Minority communities, or any community for that matter, don’t need more deaths.  They need life-affirming resources that value every human being — not wealthy abortion hucksters given license, by supremely wrong justices, to operate their own “House of Horrors.”
