My Predictions Regarding The Abortion Case
By MAT STAVER
(Editor’s Note: Mat Staver is the founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. On December 3, he commented: “There are positive signs from the Supreme Court following this week’s oral arguments. Could this be the end of the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion case? I share my impressions below. – Mat.”
- + + Fueled by the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, Margaret Sanger planted abortion facilities in black and brown neighborhoods. Her evil goal was to eliminate “lesser” races in pursuit of a super race.
Sanger wrote, birth control “means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination, and eventual extirpation of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”
Sanger stated, “More children from the fit and less from the unfit. That is the chief aim of birth control.” For her, blacks, minorities and certain other categories were “unfit” to propagate.
Planned Parenthood commits 40 percent of the abortions in the United States. In Mississippi alone, the state suing to stop Roe, 72 percent of abortions were performed on black women. Planned Parenthood intentionally places its clinics in minority neighborhoods.
Liberty Counsel’s amicus brief details these shocking facts, and more. We urged the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
This may be the beginning of the end….
Based on the comments of the justices, I believe there are six votes to uphold the Mississippi’s law banning abortion after 15 weeks. I also count at least five justices ready to overturn Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
Significantly, none of the justices and none of the pro-abortion attorneys made any effort to defend the legal basis of Roe. Of course, there is none. Instead, Justices Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan, and the pro-abortion attorneys, argued the Court will lose its legitimacy if it overturns Roe and Casey. In other words, for selfish reasons, the Court should support abortion — even if the prior decisions were wrong.
Even though I am optimistic, the justices can change their votes. Following the 1992 Casey argument, the vote was 5-4 to overturn Roe. Chief Justice William Rehnquist began writing the opinion. However, Justices O’Connor and Souter convinced Justice Kennedy to change his vote. This switch resulted in a 5-4 decision to modify Roe and thus upheld abortion.
We must continue to pray and fight to protect life.
June 2022 will be 30 years since the Casey ruling of 1992 continued America’s covenant with death.
We need to pray like never before to end this American genocide that has wiped out over 62 million lives. By today, the justices have already voted on this case. We must stay in continued prayer until that final written decision is made public.
Liberty Counsel now has three cases before the Supreme Court in addition to our many other cases defending religious freedom and the tens of thousands of people facing these unlawful shot mandates. (See www.lc.org for more information.)
