When the Supreme Court hears from the parties in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in its next term, the arguments will concern the constitutionality of a Mississippi abortion law protecting life after 15 weeks of pregnancy. At stake will be the right of the people to speak through their elected leaders on the protection of vulnerable life and women’s health.
The Supreme Court recognized a right to terminate pregnancy in 1973, and the court has been clear that the right is not absolute. But that isn’t the end of the story. The people act on legitimate interests through their elected legislators when they pass laws and their elected governors when they sign them. The people’s elected representatives protect women’s health by ensuring that women have the information to make informed decisions and have appropriate levels of medical care. They protect the sanctity of life by, for example, prohibiting abortions based solely on account of a baby’s disability.
States also make laws to protect the environment and consumers; to support religious expression, free speech and the right to bear arms; to promote access to education and healthcare; to define crimes and set criminal penalties and much more. In every instance, the legislative body must carefully balance the competing and legitimate interests of the people they represent. The elected executive, similarly accountable to the people, ensures that the people’s interests are given effect and provides a check by either signing or vetoing the law.

In the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, the Supreme Court was given the role of providing guideposts to the legislatures to help them secure legitimate interests without infringing on core constitutional rights.
When it comes to regulating abortion, the nearly 50-year history of Court precedent since Roe has not provided clear guidance. Rules based on the viability of the life of the unborn child are fluid. It was long considered impossible for a baby to survive outside the womb before 28 weeks. But now, we read with increasing regularity about babies born at 21 weeks who […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
