Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization

Overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey

Rather than crying over the inevitable dumping of Roe, abortion proponents should instead be thankful that this ridiculous decision lasted for nearly 50 years.

Consider that if Norma McCorvey (“Roe”) really wanted an abortion, and the activist attorneys behind her (Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee) were actually sympathetic to her plight, they could have arranged to have her transported to Arkansas or New Mexico, where the procedure was legal at the time. And, given her claim of being gang-raped, other nearby states would have also allowed the procedure.

As it is, McCorvey did have the baby on June 2, 1970, so the Supreme Court case was moot from the get-go. The original case against Henry Wade, district attorney of Dallas, was filed in March, 1970. Moreover, McCorvey recanted the gang-rape charge some years later.

Weddington and Coffee simply exploited the troubled McCorvey to win perhaps the only Supreme Court case ever in which the plaintiff had no legitimate standing. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg acknowledged that Roe was legally flawed.

Besides, the biggest abortion cheerleader of all, Planned Parenthood, was founded by notorious racist Margaret Sanger, who relished the notion of preventing non-White births. Notwithstanding the organization’s belated disavowal of Sanger, minority women account for a disproportionate number of abortions performed.

Contrary to the wild claims of abortion activists, today’s ruling simply sends the matter back to the states, and it will likely remain perfectly legal in many of them.

If you discovered something new about this case in reading this short piece, thank the media and educational establishment for pulling the wool over your eyes for decades. Or, as the Washington Post puts it, “Democracy dies in darkness.”
