JL Mealer on Abortion

Abortion violates constitutional rights for our posterity

Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "Abortion is a woman's right"?

A: OPPOSE for the Constitutional Reason (see Preamble) that the US Gov't is to: "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." So, yes, the mother-to be has her "right to privacy" and YES, the unborn child has that right as well and is technically protected under Roe v Wade above the mother-to-be. So, NO on abortions; any abortion doctor would charged with murder.
