Friday, June 24th (the Birthday of Saint John the Baptist), The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, less than a year before the 50th anniversary of the January 22nd, 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion Roe VS. Wade, Dobbs VS. Jackson overturns that decision. Here is the new law, unabridged, which is worth reading.
The United States of America now needs to enact an additional law defending every unborn human being, from the moment of conception, acknowledging the natural right to life by enshrining it in law. The child in the womb has the same God-given right to life as any other man that is born. That right is enshrined in The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Every man in the womb must therefore be defended by the law of the land. Procured abortion, the direct and deliberate killing of an unborn human being, is against the law which forbids homicide. Of course, an anti-abortion would necessarily extend also to prohibit all abortifacient contraceptives.
"The health of the mother" should provide no exception to this law, because any pathology of the mother must be treated with equal consideration for the life of the unborn man, while maintaining the integrity of the principle of double effect and, therefore, not directly or deliberately harming the child.
All men of good will must demand the complete outlawing of abortion. Every unborn man has a right to be defended by the law.
