THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

THE RIGHT TO MISCEGENATE MEANS THE RIGHT TO ABORT | 2006-02-21

Shari says:

Two things about abortion: 1. Roe was an egregious lawless thing. 2. Millions of live and kicking, way past the fertilized egg, have been slaughtered for the most insane of reasons, not rape or crisis. I'm sorry that our so called "lawmakers" are not interested.

MY REPLY:

Shari, PLEASE don't take this personally, buit I am SO tired of repeating this:

It refers to your point 1:

" Roe was an egregious lawless thing."

Shari, the world did not begin in 1973.

In 1967 the Supreme Court invented the right to miscegenate out of whole cloth. The Catholic Church heirarchy almost had a simultaneous hernia celebrating this decision.

Every state that ratified the Constitution had an anti-miscegenation law. Almost every state that ratified the fourteenth amendment had an anti-miscegenation. Massachusetts only repealed its law against blacks and whites marrying in 1863, at the height of the Civil War, when it wiped all racial laws off its books.

I am talking about states that had and enforced laws against miscegeneation.

In alll my readings, I have never come across a single authority in ANY state before 1940 who said that a state did not have the RIGHT to pass antimiscegenation laws.

God, I'm tired of repeating this!

By the time of Roe versus Wade, no one was allowed to criticize the Supreme Court's invention ofhte right to miscegenate.

But for most people, the world suddenly began in January, 1973, when the Supreme Court invented the right to abortion.

For those who were silent about the 1967 right to miscegenation, their case is a LOT weaker. No states had abortion laws when the Constitution was ratified.

Everybody who marched for life had already agreed that the Supreme Court had a perfect right to invent a right to miscegenation.

When the same institution invented the right to abortion they went ape.

"Where did the Supreme get this power?

They got it from the Catholic Church and others who wanted the right to miscegenate to be enforced all over America, and who didn't give a damn about constitutionality.

There was absolutely nothing "lawless" about Roe vs. Wade if you accept the 1967 antimiscegenation decision.

And I have yet to meet one single pro-lifer who EVER criticized it.

Their world BEGAN in 1973.

If you give the Court the power to do it to us evil Southern bigots, you give them the right to do it to YOU.

God, I'm tired of repeating this!
