Alito Will Save Lives, Not Biden
When the draft Supreme Court opinion overruling “Roe v. Wade” leaked on Monday, my first thought was: WHY COULDN’T THEY WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR? (“Roe” is in quotes because Planned Parenthood v. Casey already overruled Roe, but “Roe” is still used to describe the nonexistent right to abortion.)
Yes, it’s human life we’re talking about. Millions of babies are killed in their mothers’ wombs each year — it’s a massacre. On the other hand, I thought, ending late-terms might end the midterms.
But then I read Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion and was intellectually offended all over again by the idea that one of our precious constitutional rights, enshrined in a founding document, is the right to kill an unborn baby. Anyone complaining about the decision should be required to cite the exact parts Alito got wrong. Be specific. And keep in mind, no important discussion of constitutional law has ever begun with the words, “My vagina …”
The Nation magazine’s Elie Mystal took a stab at it by completely misstating Alito’s argument, then saying, “the Founding Fathers were racist, misogynist jerkfaces.” (I was planning on writing a scholarly and nuanced treatise on the framers, but Mystal just stole my title!)
I also noticed that, outside of the media, no one seems especially bothered by the decision. Or to have noticed it. In groups of liberal women, apolitical women, black and Puerto Rican women, no one is talking about the case.
They’re probably right. The end of a court-managed “constitutional” right to abortion isn’t going to produce the Roemageddon Democrats are predicting.
The Mississippi law being upheld in this case — contrary to everything I’ve heard on MSNBC — is shockingly reasonable.
It states:
“Except in a medical emergency or in the case of a severe fetal abnormality, a person shall not intentionally or knowingly perform or induce an abortion of an unborn human being if the probable gestational age of the unborn human being has been determined to be greater than fifteen (15) weeks.”
The Mississippi legislature provided a series of factual findings:
— at eight weeks gestational age the “unborn human being begins to move in the womb”;
— at nine weeks “all basic physiological functions are present”;
— at 10 weeks “vital organs begin to function,” and “hair, fingernails, and toenails begin to form”;
— at 11 weeks “an unborn human being’s diaphragm is developing,” and he or she “may move about freely in the womb;” and
— at 12 weeks the “unborn human being” has “taken on the human form in all relevant respects.”
After 15 weeks, the legislature found, most abortions involve crushing and tearing the fetus apart.
Laws should always err on the side against the decision-maker, and the decision-maker on the length of gestation is going to be the abortionist. (Which is also why “rape” and “incest” exceptions swallow the whole law. By the way, whatever happened to the morning-after pill?)
So we’re really talking about four to five months.
That’s not enough time? Give me a break, you freaks. I don’t think voters are going to say, Ukraine, inflation, the border, crime, transgenders in kindergarten — OH MY GOD, I CAN ONLY GET AN ABORTION FOR FOUR MONTHS???
Some states will surely roll back the right to abortion more than 15 weeks. Oh well. The abortion ladies will have to travel to other states the same way gunners do now to practice their marksmanship, shoppers do to get plastic bags, or breathers do to take off their masks.
With a patchwork of laws, we’ll be able to see which regulations do best at reducing abortion, illegitimacy (which soared in lockstep with the legalization of abortion), venereal diseases, suicides and false claims of rape when women are pressured into having sex, undeterred by the risk of pregnancy. We’ll call it “federalism.”
Watching MSNBC’s reaction also reminded me that everybody hates the feminists. The ladies couldn’t even keep the “#MeToo” movement going. How long did that last? Fifteen minutes? And a lot of the cases were egregious. But a month later, transgenders were canceling J.K. Rowling and women’s sports.
Now they’re hysterically babbling about the court banning contraception, interracial marriages and requiring forced sterilizations. I guess they don’t think their arguments about the abortion ruling are particularly strong, so they have to warn about scary rulings to come.
Finally, President Joe Biden has put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the response to this decision. Previously, she was put in charge of the border, and then Ukraine. Any day now, we’ll find out she was in charge of the Challenger space shuttle.
Maybe I’m just in a cheery mood, what with the imminent conclusion to this hideous chapter in U.S history. Who knows? Let’s wait nine months and see.
I have only two absolutely definite predictions flowing from the leak of the abortion opinion:
1) Liberals are about to start claiming that Black people not only are incapable of getting IDs to vote, but are also incapable of knowing that they’ve been pregnant for four months. (And then: NIGHTMARE! THEY’LL HAVE TO GET A BUS TO NEW YORK OR CALIFORNIA!)
2) As for the leaker, if the perp turns out to be a conservative who was trying to pressure Chief Justice John Roberts or Justice Neil Gorsuch, he will be ruined for life. If he turns out to be a clerk for one of the liberals, he will get a book contract and a regular spot on MSNBC.

Editor: There’s something wrong with the link to this post that was sent via e-mail at least to my address. You might check it. I click it and nothing happens so I typed-in The Occidental Observer address and got here.
“Girls must have fun and then kill their babies.”
“Save the verminous fox and exterminate the viable fetus.”
Slogans for the “progressive” placards.
the Issue: who is in charge the mother(individual) or the state??
Planned Parenthood was originally intended to curtail excessive breeding by minorities so as to maintain the USA as a mainly white Northern European country. This is one goal of occidental observer I believe.
Occult teachings derived from ancient religions assert life begins at birth vs conception. Astrology, with roots in Sumerian and Egyptian texts, is based on this premise. Prior to birth the fetus is an appendage of the mother.
The majority of abortions in the US are minority women. Many are single parents who collect welfare. Planed Parenthood has saved billions in welfare costs and public housing over population. Keep in mind the mothers involved elected the procedure – free will.
The legalization of abortion eliminated horrible and life threating “back alley” procedures with coat hangers and other amateur techniques.
It was beneficial legislation for all parties and the USA in general.
PP encourages mothers to include spiritual advisers-if any- on the moral/religious issue issue.
The excessive procreation in Latin America- promoted by the Catholic Church- has created an impoverished class. which is driving illegal immigration into the USA.in a big way. The Church is also funding travel expenses for the illegals. while the left wing Democrats are letting them walk on in by the millions. A massive drain on the American economy and tax payers. Educated and skilled Latins apply via legal paths to citizenship.
Pro Lifers are just old-school socialists. A century from now antifas and BLMers will vote GOP.
Lack of population (birth ) control in Central America has caused extreme poverty.The poverty is driving illegal immigration into the USA.The influx is costing the American economy billions.It is also displacing the White European US population.
As if the hullabaloo over abortion wasn’t contra-indicated enough where White interests are concerned, it now constitutes an eclipsing distraction from the invasion of America and the drift toward WW3—actual threats to White well-being, unlike abortion….
And aside from making the invasion worse and WW3 more likely, due to lack of public pushback, the Roe hullabaloo is also reviving, inciting, mobilizing the Left and can conceivably turn the red wave, which has seemed certain, into a red trickle by November—assuming a nuclear catastrophe doesn’t preclude elections.
ALAS, that Whites could be so hidebound by superstition as not to see where real harm and benefit lie.
TODD HUPP: all your points are valid. Banning abortion would contribute to White displacement, as you say. And, yes, it will lead to more money wasted on maintaining an under-acheiving, low-IQ population—one which would be a growing danger to Whites. Even that Janet Yellen said something intelligent as regards abortion. She said that abortion would take women out of their jobs, reducing their economic contribution to society—to which I add that such women (as you say, mostly minority), would be converted from economic contributors to economic sponges by requiring welfare to maintain their growing number of offspring. BIG TROUBLE in so many ways for America, from whatever angle you look at it.
CORRECTION: In the last paragraph above, the sentence “She [Janet Yellen] said that abortion,” etc., should read:
“She said that banning abortion would take women out of their jobs, reducing their economic contribution to society,” etc.
