The Long Shadow of Roe Haunts the Supreme Court Debate by David French

It is difficult to overstate the legal and moral consequences of the Supreme Court’s decisions, rendered inevitable in 1965, formalized in 1973, and reaffirmed in 1992, to dishonestly create and illegitimately protect a “constitutional” right to abortion. In a series of strokes, the Court declared that the text and history of the Constitution — even reason and logic itself — were inconsequential compared with the presumed social justice of the outcome. This was the “living constitution” turned into a child-devouring monster.

This so clearly states the damage to the Supreme Court and the nation as a whole when the Court gets away from the actual text of the Constitution.
