In September 1969, Norma L. McCorvey discovered she was pregnant.

She returned
to Dallas, where friends advised her to assert falsely that she had been raped,
because then she could obtain a legal abortion (with the understanding that Texas'
anti-abortion laws allowed abortion in the cases of rape and incest). However, this
scheme failed, as there was no police report documenting the alleged rape. She
attempted to obtain an illegal abortion, but found the unauthorized site shuttered,
closed down by the police. Eventually, she was referred to attorneys Linda Coffee
and Sarah Weddington.

In 1970, attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington filed suit in a U.S. District
Court in Texas on behalf of Norma L. McCorvey (under the alias Jane Roe). At the
time, McCorvey was no longer claiming her pregnancy was the result of rape, and
she later acknowledged she had lied earlier about having been raped.The defendant
in the case was Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade, representing the State
of Texas. "Rape" is not mentioned anywhere in the court documents and was never
a consideration in Roe v. Wade.Norma McCorvey's affidavit does not include the
word "rape".

The district court ruled in McCorvey's favor on the merits, but declined to grant an
injunction against the enforcement of the laws barring abortion.[8] The district
court's decision was based upon the Ninth Amendment, and the court also relied
upon a concurring opinion by Justice Arthur Goldberg in the 1965 Supreme Court
case of Griswold v. Connecticut, regarding a right to use contraceptives. Few state
laws proscribed contraceptives in 1965 when the Griswold case was decided,
whereas abortion was widely proscribed by state laws in the early 1970s.

Roe v. Wade ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal. Following a first
round of arguments, Justice Harry Blackmun drafted a preliminary opinion that
emphasized what he saw as the Texas law's vagueness. Justices William Rehnquist
and Lewis F. Powell, Jr. joined the Supreme Court too late to hear the first round of
arguments. Therefore, Chief Justice Warren Burger proposed that the case be
reargued; this took place on October 11, 1972. Weddington continued to represent
Roe, and Texas Assistant Attorney General Robert C. Flowers stepped in to replace
Wade. Justice William O. Douglas threatened to write a dissent from the reargument
order, but was coaxed out of the action by his colleagues, and his dissent was
merely mentioned in the reargument order without further statement or opinion.
he United States Constitution and The Amendments to it, are the only bona-fide
federal laws of the land, since they were the only ones voted on by the people
themselves as defined by the Constitution which is its own authority.

Continue to read my arguments about why abortion violates the Amendments to

the US Constitution.
NEXT, the tiny feet, to remind you that humans in the womb are HUMAN with feet,
arms, hands, eyes, ears,noses, kidneys, a beating heart. The tiny feet are one of the
symbols of the prolife cause.

Below that are my arguments for the civil liberties for the innocent.

The way I see it, from a logical, reasonable and trained nurse's experience and a
Law School's Professor's teaching of the US Constitution, the wicked and illegal,
immoral abortion-as-so-called-"right" laws violate these principles of the US
Constitution:

* First Amendment: when do the innocents in the womb scheduled to die in an

abortion get liberty to be heard? When do they get to write letters to the Editor?
When do they get the freedom to protest their planned deaths? When do they get
redress of grievances and relief from government protected killing centers? When
do they get news coverage to protest the mass slaughters of MILLIONS of innocents
and the baby-killing-facilities that operate with the governments permission and the
governments supplied armed guard protection? WHEN? Who will be their
spokesperson? Who will do these things for them? Who will stand in the gap for
them as The Bible says?

* Amendment 2 is about the right for one to protect one's self from harm or
destruction which of course is the foundation for Amendment Two, the right to bear
arms. For what reason does a person need to bear arms? Self-preservation! How
could a tiny human in the womb protect the self from the destruction of the paid
assassin of abortionists?

* The duty of government is to protect the innocents. The Courts in the US have
become skewed in thinking that it is their duty to protect the wicked and seem to
have little if any concern about the innocents who were harmed or murdered. The
right to the protection of the government if one is innocent is what the Amendments
were about, the intention that innocents would not be wrongly punished. But the
wicked have bribed, and manipulated the Courts, the Police, the lawyers until the
intent of the Amendments is backward now. The Courts think they are supposed to
protect the wicked and that is wrong. They are supposed to punish the wicked and
protect the innocent. Are not the tiniest, most defenseless humans who are not
capable of even speaking [in the womb, or out of it]truly innocent?
* Amendment 4, [IV] the right to be secure in one's own dwelling. Is not the womb
the dwelling of the tiny human in utero? Should not that tiny human have safety
and protection there in the dwelling where the human lives? And should not a
woman's womb, [medical term=uterus] be safe from searches and seizures since it
is within her very body? Should an assassin be allowed to force open her innermost
places and rip out and destroy the human life residing there [when a woman is
pregnant, or "with child".]

* Amendment 5, [V] Abortion is a terrible and absolute violation of Amendment five

which states neither should a human "be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law;". Where is the due process for the most innocent, the
most vulnerable, the most defenseless and those are in the womb? Where is the
appointed lawyer to represent their right to life? Where are the protections of the
Amendments for the innocents? Where are the federal troops to protect them?
Where is the prosecution of their assassins? Where is the mouthpiece for their true
rights including the right to life? Where are the GOD-fearing men in the United
States who know right from wrong and do the right course of action. Where? When?

* Amendment 6 [VI] the guarantees to a speedy trial if accused of a crime and the
right to question witnesses against one, and a right to an appeal. Where are these
protections for the innocents in the womb? When do they get to confront the wicked
mother that wants to kill them, or the more wicked abortionist assassin of
innocents? When do innocents in the womb get to question those who hate them
and seek their lives? When do they get Court appointed attorneys to defend their
right to life? When do they get an appeal for their lives to be spared? When do they
get to take their case to the US Supreme Court with someone who is not part and
parcel of the baby-killing-industry-legal-profession to represent them? When? When
will the focus of world governments be on protecting the innocent and punishing the
wicked?

*Amendment 8 [VIII] is the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments.

Being ripped apart while alive without anesthesia is cruel and unusual punishment
yet that is how an abortion is done. Or the baby is burned to death with saline
injected into the amniotic sac, or injections of potassium chloride are injected into
the heart of the baby to stop the beating heart,which when done in the operating
room for open heart surgery is accompanied by anesthesia. These are all cruel and
unusual punishments to an INNOCENT human being. The human in the womb is an
innocent human being, not charged with a crime, not tried in a Court of law, not
allowed to confront the wicked mother or the assassin-abortionist who plan to kill
the human,not allowed to appeal for the life of self, not allowed to protest the horror
of it all.[for more info on this subject visit my blog at
http://gloriapoole.livejournal.com/ and read the entry for Sunday, January 6,2008]
This is a violation of the 8th Amendment and it is barbaric. Those guilty of crimes in
any country especially capital offense crimes [murder, rape, assault with deadly
force,and other heinous crimes] should be punished. But innocents should not be
punished! That is the very essence of the government's reason for existence--to
protect the innocents and punish the wicked.
