Opinion: Abortion fight now returns to State Houses, says Hammond man

To the Editor:

"A depraved indifference to life". That's what has ailed America for nearly fifty years since the activist Supreme Court justices of 1973 ruled to make abortion, at any time, for any reason, "the law of the land".

Like a cancer that develops slowly, then spreads, the lack of concern for the lives of others has metastasized and taken over a significant part of our nation.

When children, many from single parent homes, are bombarded with negative, and sometimes violent, messages thru TV, movies, video games, music, and social media, and grow up in a land where killing unwanted, yet innocent, babies is "the law of the land", is it any wonder that there is an epidemic of youthful offenders bent on wreaking havoc and murdering other children?

For over five decades the abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, has done their utmost to convince the women of America that the way to make things "right", if they get pregnant, is to abort the fetus which they have called "just a blob of tissue". That argument might have worked in the 1970s and 80s but with modern medical advances, like ultrasound machines, we all know that what is in the womb is, indeed, a baby- in case there was ever any doubt.

The current Supreme Court, with a majority of justices who can be called "originalists" when it comes to how they interpret the Constitution, on June 24th, 2022, undid over 49 years of "bad case law" laid down by a Court with an agenda. Thank God for Supreme Court justices with courage to stand up to unrelenting pressure from the Left and make the "right" decision in overturning "Roe-vs-Wade".

Where do we go from here? We start taking our country back, one street, one block, one county, one state at a time. The abortion fight now moves back to the State Houses, where it has always belonged (see the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights). Abortion is America's national sin that has cost over 63,000,000 innocent lives so far.

God-fearing readers: Keep the faith and keep up the good fight. We have won a few small battles lately but the war to "fundamentally transform" America is still being waged. But take heart and remember: we cannot be defeated by the forces of evil if we will not quit because we are on God's side.
