Tearing Us Apart:

How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing

Since 1973, abortion has inflicted untold suffering on all of us. It has killed 65 million unborn children. It has pitted men against women and parents against their children. And it has undermined a sound vision of what it means to be human. As we explain in the book, the implicit assumption of pro-abortion activists is that the female body is somehow a defective version of the male body — which they take as the norm — and that women can be free and equal only if they are permitted to kill their unborn children. Rather than structuring our laws and forming our culture to foster solidarity and support for women, the pro-abortion movement treats the child as an intruder, a “parasite,” and a threat to neutralize. Emphasizing “autonomy” and “choice,” abortion supporters rarely acknowledge that many women feel pressured into abortion, experiencing it not as empowerment but as defeat. And many who call themselves “pro-choice” oppose efforts to help pregnant mothers choose life, revealing themselves to be much more pro-abortion than “pro-choice.”

Abortion has also corrupted many of our cherished values and institutions. As we document in the book, the eugenics movement of the early 20th century gave rise to the modern pro-abortion movement — an effort to avoid “populations that we don’t want to have too many of,” in the words of the late Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As we celebrate on this Martin Luther King Jr. Day all of our progress in the struggle for racial justice, we must also acknowledge the sad reality that the womb is a dangerous place for a black baby today; more black children are aborted each year in New York City than are born.

profound statement, especially coming from a so-called "liberal" Supreme Court justice

Abortion is an evil, plain and simple, no matter the colour of the baby.  Of course, I'm certain you agree.

But it does show RBG's double standard in all of this... I for one did not grieve her passing for an instant.

I don't get how this works. If Roe V Wade has been overturned, how come abortion still happens in the states?

Roe VS Wade made the act of abortion federally protected in all States. The overturning merely return the legality of the act to the States.

For it to outlaw abortion federally the Supreme Court would have to rule that preborn children are persons, with rights and equal protection or something like that.
