Guest Commentary: Overturn Of Roe Vs Wade

Overturn Of Roe Vs Wade-Let’s Pause and Work Towards an Amenable Solution 

By Dannie McIntire

JULY 14, 2022

The overturn of Roe Vs Wade by our Supreme Court has inflamed emotions on both sides of the abortion debate into very distinct “us” versus “them” camps, “Pro-Life” versus “Right-To-Choose”.

So where does the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn its earlier 1973 decision leave the issue of abortion?

First and foremost, the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe Vs Wade did not make abortion illegal in regard to Federal Law. 

Regardless of which political spectrum you identify with, I believe all of us need to pause the “hatred” that seems to have become so intense between the two “ideologies” and examine the Supreme Court’s ruling in overturning Roe Vs Wade actually has done.

The court basically ruled that since abortion was not directly protected under the Constitution of the United States, the question of whether abortion should be legal or illegal was a “States Right”, protected under the 10th Amendment.   

Under the Bill Of Rights 10th Amendment, all rights and powers not specifically reserved to Congress by Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution are reserved by the states.

In essence, the recent Supreme Court ruling found that the 1973 Supreme Court ruling overstepped the federal government’s powers under our Constitution.

I think the rationale behind the court’s ruling should be celebrated, not on the basics of the abortion question, but that “the people” have the right to determine the issue. I think it bodes well for our democracy when that last step in our judicial system “rule of law” can say, “Oops, the earlier court in 1973 violated the Constitution by asserting a power it did not have.  

Now it’s up to the elected legislators in Indiana to determine, if so inclined, any tightening or loosening of abortion restrictions within the state of Indiana.

“The ball” in essence has been thrown back into “the people’s court”. Now it is “your job” as a citizen of Indiana, if so inclined, to let your state representatives know your feelings on the issue of abortion.

Research your representative’s stand on the issue of abortion, if it lines up with yours, let them know that, and let them know they will receive your vote the next time they stand for reelection. 

If your representative’s stand on abortion doesn’t line up with yours, let them know that, and let them know they will not receive your vote the next time they stand for reelection. 

But first and foremost, I hope the citizens of Indiana, regardless of their stance on the issue of abortion, if they engage one another on the issue of abortion, will remember that everyone has the right to their own opinion.

My opinion, if different than yours, doesn’t make yours wrong, as yours doesn’t invalidate mine.

“Biden’s Inflation Crisis Is A 9.1% Pay Cut For Hoosiers”

0

WASHINGTON—Today U.S. Senator Mike Braun released the following statement and video following an announcement from the Department of Labor that the Consumer Price Index rose 9.1% in June from a year ago, a 40-year high.

“Biden’s inflation crisis is a 9.1% pay cut for Hoosiers, and his plan is to keep spending money we don’t have.” — Senator Mike Braun

 Video Transcript

 Hoosiers and all Americans have just taken a 9.1% pay cut. Record levels of inflation. Proud that I and my office have been on that subject for nearly a year. Sadly, it’s coming to fruition and these policies have caused it. Sad that we are contending with it. So, we’ve got to get it out of our system. How we do it remains to be seen. I think a lot of it will be reflected in how we vote this November.

Todd Rokita Achieves Second Victory Since Dobbs Decision In Upholding Indiana Laws Protecting Unborn Life and women’s health

0

The 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Monday vacated judgments invalidating several Indiana laws protecting unborn children and the health of their mothers — handing the Office of the Attorney General and all Hoosiers yet another victory in the fight for life.

The decision involved the ongoing case Whole Woman’s Health Alliance v. Rokita — a legal battle that began with a lawsuit against the state back in 2018.

“Our team has fought long and hard in this case as part of our larger effort to build a culture of life in Indiana,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “With the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs case, it is clear that life is winning. But we will stay relentless in doing the right thing for unborn babies and their mothers’ well-being.”

The lawsuit filed in the Whole Woman’s Health case amounted to a full-scale assault on Indiana’s slate of abortion laws. Although Attorney General Rokita’s team already had prevailed in defending most of those laws, a handful of injunctions remained.

Among other things, laws affected by Monday’s ruling include minimum facilities requirements for surgical and chemical abortion clinics as well as requirements that medical personnel advise women that human physical life begins at fertilization and that “objective scientific information shows that a fetus can feel pain at or before twenty (20) weeks of postfertilization age.”

Attorney General Rokita’s office had previously secured a stay of injunctions barring enforcement of requirements that only physicians may provide medication abortions; that second-trimester abortions may only be performed in hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers; that women considering abortions receive in-person counseling; and that women considering abortions receive in-person examinations. The judgments against these laws have now been formally vacated as well.

The appeals court’s Monday decision is attached.

Last week, Attorney General Rokita announced another historic pro-life legal win after a federal district court granted his motion to lift an injunction on dismemberment abortions, which occur well after an unborn baby is fully developed.
