We must fight for life, because the Left will not stop fighting for death

 I was cautiously optimistic that abortion, if not ended in this coutry, would at least be relegated to the states, where some of then would limit the slaughter of unborn babies.  But Christopher Bedford at the The Federalist throws cold water any feeling of optimism that we may have taken from the oral arguments before the Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. You can find Bedford's article here.

It’s always cryptic, reading too far into oral arguments. Everything seemed to go well – Justice Brett Kavanaugh (a worry to many pro-lifers) seemed deeply skeptical of the left’s arguments; Chief Justice John Roberts, always cautiously liberal, correctly compared America’s abortion laws to those of China and North Korea.

By the end of the afternoon, folks from NBC News’s legal correspondent Pete King all the way back to our own Mollie Hemingway figured the old ways were DOA.

But things change. In March of 2012, the court heard three days of arguments in a case called National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius – the first major case on the constitutionality of Obamacare. During those six hours of arguments, Roberts was engaged; fired up even. The Affordable Care Act looked to be in trouble.

Three months later, Roberts twisted the Senate’s own words and promises to write a tortured majority opinion upholding President Barack Obama’s signature achievement on absurd legal grounds.

As Bedford notes, we must keep fighting for life, because the Left will not stop fighting for death.
