The Reality about Roe and Dobbs

Fifty years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down Roe v. Wade.  For nearly 5 decades, it was treated by both proaborts and prolifers as the law of the land. In actuality is was the lie of the land.

The murder of our preborn neighbors was never in the Constitution.  The 1973 decision was an iniquitous decree, violating the US Constitution and the Higher Law of God.  No court has the authority to say that murder of a people group is okay.  The Triune God of the Bible is the Author of life, and the Judge over all, and thus He alone has the jurisdiction to say when life is to be taken away.  And He says in Jeremiah 22:3 to “Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.”  Jesus reiterated while He walked among us, “Thou shalt do no murder.” 

The Roe v. Wade decision violated the Constitution also.  The US Supreme Court took a supposed "right to privacy" to mean that murder of your own children can happen in the privacy of the womb.  It was not a law, for courts do not make laws.  They render opinions, and when an opinion violates the Constitution and the Higher Law of the Creator, it is without constitutional authority and ought to be ignored.  For the last 50 years, babies didn’t die because of Roe v. Wade.  Many tens of millions of babies were murdered because states bowed to Roe v. Wade. 

On Friday, June 24^th of 2023, the Supreme Court itself officially recognized the egregious error that it made.  They admitted the ruling almost 50 years ago was unconstitutional, and have returned the question to the states.  Here in Dobbs we find another error in judgment, a half correction:

The US Supreme Court was right to say that abortion is not a right in the Constitution.  BUT…

The US Supreme Court was wrong to then allow the states to deprive humans of the right to life if they so choose.  Just as the federal courts did not have a right to say abortion is a “right”, the states do not have a right to do so either—they have the duty to criminalize homicide.

With that in mind, consider that in 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court took the right to the "pursuit of happiness" in the state Constitution and said it included the pursuit of homicide.  This violates both the right “to life” and “equal justice” recognized in general to humans in the Kansas Constitution.  Thus, Bleeding Kansas, with its iniquitous court opinion, has fabricated its own state “Roe”, called “Hodes and Nauser v. Schmidt”.  Both courts, the US Supreme Court in 1973 and the Kansas Supreme Court in 2019, were dead wrong—both fallacious, both vain and iniquitous.

The Hodes case is unconstitutional and as Kansans we ought to ignore it, as we should have ignored Roe. What was national should now strike closer to home for the God-fearing people of the Sunflower State. We must defy Hodes and follow the Constitution and the Higher Law of God, even if the courts will not. As Elders our prayer since Friday has been, “Lord, may Your people, who refused to ignore Roe, do justly now that they can no longer use it as an excuse.” Our God commands that, “That which is altogether just shalt thou follow”. We must call for justice and plead for truth.

We must reject compromise, and demand of our legislators that, 

“Abortion must be abolished.”
