The Impact of Roe V. Wade
Guttmacher Institute recorded 930,160 abortions in 2020, down from more than 1.5 million peak in 1991. Total United States abortions since 1973: 63,459,781.
June 24, 2022. The United States was given a historic overturning of one of the most egregious cases contributing to over 63 million recorded cases of murder since 1973. Roe v Wade was travesty from the beginning. Since it was laid upon our land as a "constitution right", nearly half of my generation was aborted. You have got to be kidding me. Murdering nearly half of my generation is a right? No it is not a right.
On the 24th of June I was overwhelmed with the Supreme Court coming back to its non-activists roots - upholding the constitution and nothing more. The following is the first line found in the handed down decision that wiped out the precedent established from Roe.
"Blue" states are seeing protests, albeit nothing like the BLM riots in the Summer of love. What is crazy is the dissonance in these areas. The Supreme Court merely returned this authority back to the states, where it should have been from day one. The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Period.
Important in reading the majority Supreme Court entire reasoning, good nuggets are plentiful to gleam. Let's take a look at the history of our nation with regard to abortion leading up to this current decision of Roe.
"By the time the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, three quarters of the States had made abortion a crime at any stage of pregnancy." Did you catch that? The ruling of Roe was a mob style thug ruling that went against what the majority of what the states had in place, let alone all the other factors surrounding it that were tossed aside.
Justice Alito continues in the syllabus of the brief with the following paragraph:
The numbers are murky when one tries to do research on abortion. Did you know that multiyear gaps exist in which California state and other areas do not report their abortion numbers to the CDC? Without California's numbers we know the data is flawed.
Liberals and blinded Republicans still try the argument that it is about reproductive rights and even a more twisted mindset that they are "cells" and nothing more until born. Magically once the cells have exited the uterus a baby emerges.
As a spirit filled Christian living in a "blue" metro area, I was deeply concerned that this decision was going to make the Summer of 2020 look like a picnic. Partnering with the spirit of fear is an easy feat especially when you are facing a satanic stronghold. However, unlike the riots of 20, the "line" that was drawn was quite different. Perceived racism muddied the waters in 20 whereas this was more polarizing. I'm glad that we aren't seeing the riots just yet in this area, perhaps there is more hope for liberal areas that I have been led to believe.
My wife and I want to move out of this area. Each day feels more oppressive than the last with it getting more and more communist. Though we don't have the means to move just yet, we are going to fight while we are still living here. He will open those doors when He is ready for us to move. We will be rooted and thrive where our seeds are planted. Do not lose hope if you are in a fellow "blue" area. Get yourself in His Word. Declare truths and combat when that spirit of fear overtakes your household. It cannot stand.
Life is precious from conception. This new and separate DNA is unique. While this new baby may not be granted citizenship yet or even have a name, this life is worth protecting each time.
I close out this substack with a prayer. "Lord we pray for an overwhelming realignment for your children. We declare life and command the ashes to bring forth new growth. May your people continue to humble themselves and honor life. Any spirit of fear, intimidation, or physical violence will be bound in Your name. By the blood of Jesus we cover our great land and repent for the wickedness of murdering babies that has been done for around 50 years. We will not grow complacent nor grow lazy in our approach again. God bless America, and may your Holy Spirit flood revival across the land. Awaken America. In Jesus name, Amen."
