His leadership gave pro-lifers <a href=\"\/news\/happy-birthday-to-pro-life-hero-ronald-reagan\/\">many things to be thankful for<\/a>, chief among them nominating <a href=\"\/news\/time-pro-lifers-stand-strong-protecting-scalias-principles\/\">brilliant judicial originalist Antonin Scalia<\/a> to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>With November\u2019s presidential election deciding whether <a href=\"\/news\/a-pro-life-look-at-donald-trumps-supreme-court-nominees\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> or <a href=\"\/news\/hillary-likes-idea-of-supreme-court-justice-obama\/\">Hillary Clinton<\/a> replaces Scalia, let\u2019s focus this year\u2019s remembrance on Reagan\u2019s efforts to reshape the judiciary, and just how close he came to actually ending <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Reagan had three opportunities to put Justices on the Supreme Court. On his first, he unfortunately made a critical mistake in nominating Sandra Day O\u2019Connor, who went on to vote to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oyez.org\/cases\/1991\/91-744\">uphold<\/a> <em>Roe<\/em> in the 5-4 <em><a href=\"\/news\/the-case-against-roe-v-wade-and-planned-parenthood-v-casey\/\">Planned Parenthood v. Casey<\/a> <\/em>decision of June 29, 1992. For what it\u2019s worth, Reagan <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.legalsolutions.thomsonreuters.com\/legal-research\/today-in-1981-reagan-picks-sandra-day-oconnor-for-supreme-court\/\">justified his decision<\/a> in part because she told him she considered abortion \u201crepugnant,\u201d and while pro-lifers raised concerns at the time, she had enough people fooled that the Senate confirmed her unanimously. Still, it\u2019s an object lesson in <a href=\"\/news\/john-roberts-defection-spells-trouble-for-overturning-roe\/\">carefully vetting judicial nominees<\/a> for any potential shortcomings in their judicial philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a mistake Reagan wouldn\u2019t make again. Reagan nominated Scalia at his second opportunity, one of the greatest jurists of the modern era. Scalia understood that the \u201cworst thing about the Living Constitution is that it will destroy the Constitution\u201d because it had no objective criteria for deciding cases, that \u201cno one ever thought that the American people ever voted to prohibit limitations on abortion\u201d and \u201cthere is nothing in the Constitution that says that,\u201d and that any responsible judge must be \u201chandcuffed\u201d by \u201cthe original meaning of the Constitution.\u201d On today\u2019s court, only Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito consistently keep Scalia\u2019s dedication alive.<\/p>\n<p>On Reagan\u2019s third and final opportunity, he nominated Judge Robert Bork, a pro-life stalwart who said of <em>Roe<\/em> in his 1990 <em>book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tempting-America-Robert-H-Bork\/dp\/0684843374\">The Tempting of America: The Political Seduction of the Law<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The opinion does not once say what principle defines the new right so that we might know both why it covers a liberty to abort and what else it might cover in the future. We are told only that wherever the right may be located and whatever it may cover, it is \u201cbroad enough\u201d for present purposes. This is not legal reasoning but fiat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In his 1996 book <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Slouching-Towards-Gomorrah-Liberalism-American\/dp\/0060573112\">Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline<\/a><\/em>, Bork called \u201cthe systematic killing of unborn children in huge numbers\u201d part of \u201ca general disregard for human life that has been growing for some time\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We are crossing lines, at first slowly and now with rapidity: killing unborn children for convenience; removing tissue from live fetuses; contemplating creating embryos for destruction in research; considering taking organs from living anencephalic babies; experimenting with assisted suicide; and contemplating euthanasia. Abortion has coarsened us.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Senate <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.constitutioncenter.org\/2015\/10\/on-this-day-senate-rejects-robert-bork-for-the-supreme-court\/\">rejected Bork&#8217;s nomination<\/a> following a bitter smear campaign in which the late Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy <a href=\"http:\/\/spectator.org\/34223_robert-borks-america\/\">infamously declared<\/a> that, among other foul charges, \u201cRobert Bork\u2019s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions.\u201d Faced with a Democrat Senate, Reagan was forced to withdraw Bork\u2019s nomination and instead name Anthony Kennedy, who also voted to uphold <em>Roe<\/em> in <em>Casey<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/AbortionProcedures.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-88619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN.jpg\" alt=\"levatino-ad-LAN\" width=\"306\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN.jpg 306w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even though Kennedy is by no means a pro-lifer or originalist, given the circumstances it\u2019s somewhat miraculous that Reagan found someone who sides with pro-lifers as often as he does, from <a href=\"\/news\/debunking-three-common-misconceptions-on-de-abortions\/\">dismemberment abortions, partial-birth abortions<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/news\/media-matters-hypes-amicus-briefs-fail-disprove-abortion-regret\/\">abortion regret<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ontheissues.org\/Court\/Anthony_Kennedy_Abortion.htm\">parental notification<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oyez.org\/cases\/2013\/13-354\">Hobby Lobby<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2012\/06\/28\/supreme-court-upholds-individual-mandate-obamacare-survives.html\">Obamacare<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If just one of those had gone differently\u2014had Reagan picked someone other than O\u2019Connor or had the Senate confirmed Bork\u2014<em>Casey<\/em> would have gone down in history as the case that ended <em>Roe v.
