Myth? This is no myth. The current Democratic Party is religiously Pro-Abortion. Similar to the slavery debate that raged in the 1800's both have been exacerbated by horrible court decisions that usurped the authority of the people to solve the issue amongst themselves. In Dred the southern sympathizers on the court led by Justice Taney a southerner, declared the Missouri Compromise- that was dealing with the slavery issue through the legislative process- unconstitutional. In this egregious abomination the decision argued that blacks were only 3/5's human and therefore afforded no constitutional right to sue no matter what state they were in- and furthermore declared that all blacks essentially were property to which the slave owners were being deprived due process. In Roe, after years of states dealing with the issue of abortion in a legislative manner (this is a democracy everyone realizes right?), the court once again usurps the athority of the people by declaring the murder of the unborn a right born in the spirt of privacy. In denying a right to life of to the unborn the court declares the unborn only partially (sound familiar?) human (though an unborn has all the genetic characteristics of a full grown human and is no less a life that that of a new born, teenager, adult or senior who look nothing alike) and therefore can be deprived of life in the name of choice. Furthermore the court has declared in recent decisions like Stenberg v Carhart that abortion is a right up until the time of birth- legalizing throughout the country the right to infanticide on demand. The similarities between the Dred decision and Roe are striking in substance and practice. The court's usurpation of power to impose its concept of morality on the people is fully exhibited in both cases. The denial of rights to those who lack the political power to excercise theirs in favor of those holding power to enslave or murder other humans is proof that we still haven't learned a damn thing from history. Finally these cases are bench marks in the same philosophy. Slavery had lost the populist support and would soon have been denied throughout the union through the legislative process. Abortion as well was greatly limited in most states an both parties had prolife planks before Roe V Wade. Not until the Democratic party sold out to the Feminazi special interests and lost it's moral compass did it lock in it's permanent minority status. A majority of Americans find something deeply troubling with murder of the unborn and a majority does not agree with the Roe decision or subsequent rulings. So long as the Democratic Party is the party of death and butchery it will have an insurmountable task of over coming those who find moral issues tantamount when voting.
