Roe V Wade, decided in 1973 and now in danger of being overturned. It is hard to see the connection here between Roe V Wade and a repeal of other liberties we have now taken for granted. but there is a clear connection. This connection has been articulated in the last two years and is what the people who support President Trump support.
In 1969, when I was turning 24, I registered to vote when I got out of the Army. Four years later Abortion came a part of my reality. I was surrounded by females - two sisters and my Mother. Those relations began to shape my feelings on Rove V Wade.
The History I observed along the way is one that created the great division in the US that we have today.
I was and am still a Liberal in political theory. And as the US has only two Political Parties, I was a Democrat. I plan if, I Iive that long, to write about the History of the abortion issue and has it has divided the country almost fro the very beginning.
I will make a statement that I hope when lay it out, will show that this one issue has been at the heart of American Politics from 1973 until now and if over turned will be the fulcrum upon which other restrictions of Liberty in this country will lead to a repressive dictatorship that will end Democracy in the US.
Of course this does not have to happen, but there are forces at work that have that as their goal. The Heritage Society has a tame enough name but the reality behind that organization and others it a desire to move the US to the Concept of Original Intent which at it center is the desire to return the US to status of a country where many of the Freedoms we now take for granted are overturned by a very Conservative Court.
At the top of the list after Roe V Wade is the repeal of post Civil War Amendments that expand the terms of Individual Freedoms.
So fasten your seatbelts it going to be a bumpy ride.
