The US Supreme Court Justices ruled that abortion is unconstitutional. By reviewing the US Constitution, Tenth Amendment, it is clear that local social issues like abortion should not be a Federal Law. The Tenth Amendment states, “The power not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the State respectively, or to the people.” The term “reserved to the State respectively” is interpreted as local social functions, like abortion or liquor, since these issues are not included in the United States Constitution.
By reviewing 18 Amendment, Prohibition of Liquor, of 1919, it was thrown out in 1933 by the 21st Amendment clearly stated that social laws do not belong in the US Constitution. It is clear that the founding fathers did look at the social law and addressed the issue with the separation of church and state, since social issue at the time were part of the religious environment. To put it quite simply, social laws in the US Constitution does permanently deflect the vision of the founding fathers out of shape.
During the Late Middle Ages, Europe, and especially England, the Catholic Church was in the center of each city. These churches, or the remnants of these churches, can still be seen today. All social and religious actives took place in the Church. But on October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the church door at Wittenburg, the church and social structure started to change. With the priest reading, in some communities they were the only ones that could read, and preaching the Bible, the priest had full control of the social activities. But, with Martin Luther, people started to read the Bible and hold their own social functions.
But the big change in social activities came with Henry VIII of England. With his father, Henry VII, stated that he needed a son to pass the kingdom down to the next generation, but his wife did not give him a son; therefore, he wanted a divorce from his wife, but the Catholic would not allow the divorce based on scripture. So, Henry VIII through the Catholic Church out of England along with the social programs that the church had provide for years.
Therefore, as the Founding Fathers saw social programs, they were part of the churches that they attended. By writing the separation of church and state, they were separating social programs from the US Constitution. Although their intent of not including local social programs in the Constitution was clear, passionate citizens, communities, and politicians have passed laws and ignored the tenth amendment.
Regarding the 18th Amendment, there was a passionate move in the religious communities to prohibit the combustion of liquor. Although their passion with well meaning, people were not attending Church like they did in the Late Middle Age. With the freedom that people grewing to enjoy, they were not going to let the government, or anyone else, control their lives (the home of the free and the brave). Basically, in spite of the amendment, people were drinking liquor anyway. Although it keep law enforcement busy, it really did not accomplish much of anything else, but to prove that the Founding Fathers were correct, social laws to not belong in the US Constitution.
During the inauguration of Former President B. O., he spoke that he US Constitution needed to contain entropy, much as unconstitutional abortion law. But the question is: empathy from what? In order to have empathy, it needs to be from an accepted or documented value by society. If there is no value, then there can be no empathy.
To test Abraham’s values to the Lord, the Lord instructed Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham took Isaac to a mountain top in the land of Moriah to perform the sacrifice. But, as Abraham started to kill Isaac, the lord stepped in to save Isaac’s life. Since Abraham had follow the Lord’s values, he received empathy from the Lord.
During the Civil War, the hall of the White House was filled with people asking for a presidential pardon from President Lincoln for themselves, a loved one, or a good friend. If they could convince the president that the solder had followed the military procedures, Lincoln would grant them a pardon. Although President Lincoln wrote more pardons than any other president, he granted empathy only to the ones that deserved a pardon one at a time (painful act by the president).
Empathy can only be granted to those who have followed the written documentation or accepted social values. For example, the probation amendment was not going to be followed since a huge majority of people were not going to follow the eighteenth amendment.
The liberals are stating that the Supreme Court over turned Roe verses Wade, but they are actually sending the ruling down to the state courts. By looking at the demographics of the United States, it only makes sense that abortion should be a state law, since each stated has a different social background. As for the liberal states that have abortion as part of these state laws, the truth is that these states will always have legal abortion.
The current president has stated that congress needs to write and pass an abortion bill for his signature, as if he does not understand that the US Supreme Court has ruled it unconstitutional. As with probation, there needs to be an amendment written and ratified by the states to exclude the tenth amendment so that local social laws can by written within the US Constitution. Although it is doubtful that this type of amendment would have be ratified, it is the only way that abortion can be come a federal law.
By reading the US Constitution and read the oath for public United States officers, it becomes clear that this document is written to protect it from all enemies foreign and domestic. Therefore, it becomes a little difficult to determine how the abortion of an unwanted fetus can come to the significance of Russia pointing thermo-nuclear weapon at the United States.
Therefore, with Roe verses Wade not being part of a US law, this does not deflects the US Constitution from the intent of the Founding Fathers. If we do not follow the intent of the Founding Fathers, then constitution is meaningless for the US citizens.
