The Fourteenth Amendment, which should be in place to protect unborn American citizens from the horrible death of abortion, instead was incorrectly interpreted to allow a mother to pay someone to kill her own child, as a matter of privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Just last November, when Law Students for Life of America hosted an event titled \u201cShould <em>Roe<\/em> Survive Another 40 Years?,\u201d I was <a href=\"\/news\/top-10-reasons-against-roe-v-wade\/\">shocked<\/a> to find out how horribly decided <em>Roe v. Wade <\/em>was, being a weak case decided mostly on a &#8220;penumbra&#8221;\u00a0 of the Constitution. And what grave consequences this case has had, with 56 million Americans being killed before they ever had the chance to be born. I&#8217;m sorry to those who advocate for abortion as a firm Constitution right, but nowhere is abortion mentioned in the Constitution. The Founding Fathers, I am certain, did not see this so-called form of reproductive freedom as having utmost importance, and neither did their female counterparts, such as Abigail Adams.<\/p>\n<p>Science has come a long way though, and we have a window into the womb. Pro-life support has also increased, particularly among the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redstate.com\/matthewclark\/2013\/06\/13\/majority-of-young-americans-are-pro-life-favor-making-all-or-most-abortion-illegal\/\">youth<\/a>, who are not only enthusiastically pro-life, but aware that they have survived when they could have easily been aborted. I have hope that through time and small steps, by overcoming defeats as well as celebrating small victories, we will come to see the day when we have a Court which realizes pass errors made and seeks to right the wrongs committed by overturning <em>Roe v. Wade <\/em>once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>Overturning what is arguably the most controversial and disastrous case in our nation&#8217;s history will not completely end abortion here in the United States, but it will certainly be a step. For those who advocate for abortion will no longer be able to hiide behind their faulty interpretation of the Constitution, a sacred document which should protect life rather than permit the ruthless taking of. I look forward to the first Constitution Day when <em>Roe v. Wade <\/em>is no more. That will truly be a September 17th worth celebrating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Constitution Day!
