Abortion and the Supremes

So will the supremes stop South Dakota from outlawing most abortions? HMMM. The conventional wisdom is that "We won't know until Alito choses." Beg to differ.

The real stealth candidate on the court was Roberts, not Alito. The great "academician", as he was repeatedly called, could chose either side and make a better argument that the original Roe. Probably without breaking a sweat - or even waking up. And that's just what we need - a better legal argument FOR abortion. (Insert sarcasm here)

Only time will tell, but it seems to me that the great risk is that Roberts is not what Bush claimed he was. There was no positive track record, and Roberts spoke out of both sides of him mouth better than most. Did he claim to be all things to all people? The great switch, from Roberts replacing OConnor to replacing Rendquist seemed especially slick. For all the talk about whether Alito was going to be the "swing vote" to replace O Connor, the real question should have been whether Roberts was going to be the stalwart replacement for Rendquist. Nobody bothered to ask.

I hope that the supremes uphold the SD law. I hope and pray that Roe is tossed out on it's ear for horrible abomination of both life and the law. but I doubt that it will happen. I suspect, once again, that there will be a 5/4 split, and that Liberty, the republican form of government, and life will lose.

Once more, we pray for miracles, and consider that while we should be working to change laws, we focus even more on changing lives. Alito cannot save humanity. Neither can Roberts, Scalia, nor my personal court favorite Thomas. Only God can save humanity. And He has chosen to do this, using our feeble and frail bodies as His tools. One by One.
