Wade<\/em>, where the Supreme Court legalized abortion on the basis that the unborn are not people. Sometimes it may seem like the pro-life movement is progressing, and other times it seems as if the courts or other government entities are taking the pro-life movement back several steps.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves the question: is there hope?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prolifewisconsin.org\/\">Pro-Life Wisconsin<\/a> released a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WnmSKVGIulQ\">short YouTube video<\/a> addressing the issue of <em>Roe v.

The Court recognized that African-Americans \u201chad for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery.\u201d Based on this history, the court found that the African race was not intended to receive the protection of \u201cunalienable rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until the 1960s and 1970s with the passage of the 13<sup>th<\/sup>, 14<sup>th<\/sup>, and 15<sup>th<\/sup> Amendments that African-Americans received rights under the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Intellectually disable<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">d<\/span>: In 1927, the <a href=\"http:\/\/caselaw.lp.findlaw.com\/cgi-bin\/getcase.pl?court=us&amp;vol=274&amp;invol=200\">Court found forced sterilization<\/a> for the intellectually disable to be constitutional. \u201cIt is better for all the world if &#8230; society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. &#8230; Three generations of imbeciles are enough.\u201d This idea was overturned in 1981.<\/p>\n<p>And that brings us to the unborn and the landmark case of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, where the unborn were found not to be included in the definition of the word \u201cperson.\u201d When will this wrong be set right? When will the unborn be able to take their rightful place as people who deserve rights? Time will tell. Let us not, then, become weary in this fight, but let us continue to speak out for the unborn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When will the unborn be able to take their rightful place as people who deserve rights?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":200,"featured_media":17907,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 -
