Sixty-one percent of Americans believe that abortion should be safe and legal. Justice Samuel Alito cited that Roe v. Wade was “egregiously wrong” and, apparently because women were never granted any rights under the Constitution, in 2022 decided that women have no rights over their own life or bodies.
Rape, incest, miscarriages, unplanned pregnancies, fetal trauma, stillbirth, or serious injury or death to themselves is immaterial. Women have suddenly been declared illegal third-party participants once they become pregnant.
What we have witnessed are four Catholic justices enforcing the tenets of the Catholic Church and following the papal dictate of that church over the common good and rights of American women. Three Supreme Court justices were selected by Donald Trump and the Republican Party to specifically overturn Roe v. Wade as Trump so openly declared, and they lied in their confirmation hearings declaring that Roe was “stare decisis.”
Now Justice Clarence Thomas, another Catholic, has opened the door to reverse birth control and reproductive rights, sex between consenting unmarried adults and gay marriage because these freedoms were an “abuse of Judicial authority.” So continue to believe that who you vote for doesn’t matter.
