Why Roe v. Wade Will Be Overturned

The bottom line in the outrage over the crop of pro-life laws in the states, some of which require sonograms before an abortion, is that this is the power that will overturn Roe v. Wade, and the abortion industry knows it.

Last week my home state of Texas joined the roster of sonogram friendly states as the House and Senate have both passed bills requiring a sonogram before an abortion in the Lone Star State. Outspoken pro-life Governor Rick Perry actually pushed it through as “emergency” legislation so it could be passed sooner. He is expected to sign it soon.

The Texas bill requires a 24 hour waiting period and a woman to hear a detailed description of the sonogram report before she has an abortion. The truth is, it’s informed consent; it’s called knowing what you do before you do it. But of course, the fearmobile got out its wheels and the invasion of privacy fight is being driven into the ground. The reason for the fear isn’t just a sonogram, though.
In a simplistic manner of speaking, one of the reasons that we were able to make abortion legal was the fact that in 1973 it was a bit muffled to some when life began. However, advances in medical science have eliminated this argument, and as laws are passed to this effect, it’s pretty likely one of these will make its way back to Washington DC and face the Court again—and this time there can only be one answer: Abortion kills babies.

While we like to demonize abortion supporters, the truth is many of them are people we might consider “good” if encountered in another walk of life. The passing of Roe v. Wade in 1973 wasn’t from a maniacal crazed Court, no matter how much we see this as a ludicrous decision. Our generation is far more enlightened. In 1973 the internet wasn’t in our laps—or even on our desks—long distance charges still existed, and TVs had UHF antennas. Everything that has to do with technology and science has taken massive leaps in the almost 40 years since Roe V. Wade was visited by the high courts, and that’s why it will be revisited in light of scientific change.

People without the benefit of understanding of creation and the Bible live only on scientific reason and chance. When there isn’t enough substantial evidence, often the only way they see to walk is the way of reason. Vast theological implications aside, these days, reason has caught up with faith. Science has shown that babies exist as people in their mother’s wombs whether or not one thinks Psalm 139 has validity outside religion. Today we can detect a baby’s heartbeat scarcely weeks after conception, when most women don’t know they are pregnant. Today we can take a camera and watch a baby move inside a woman. Today science has helped prove faith and the abortion industry's rage is only proof of this fact.

The people who push for pro-life laws like this are actually the most reasonable of all. Many weeks ago I reported the hoops I had to jump through medically to get a common surgery which didn’t endanger anyone’s life. It was two months from start to finish of the surgery. And even on the day I had it, I had to write down on a consent form what surgery I was having, what I understood it to do, and that it was my decision. After I came out of it, I couldn’t even have medication without restating my full name and date of birth every single time—even if it was the same person ten times in a row helping me.

Informed consent is, in every other arena, an overkill procedure for the sake of patient safety. While I found it amusing to have to restate obvious facts, I also appreciated that they weren’t about to do anything that remotely affected my health without a surety I knew what it was and wanted it.
Abortion laws are catching up. They certainly are lagging at a tortoise pace behind all other medical laws. But they are getting there. What we see in Texas, South Dakota, Florida and the many (and I mean many) other states and laws within states regarding sonograms, waiting periods and consent is simply the reasonable and intellectual people enforcing the area of medicine the true militants about abortion have left aside in their pursuit of some false sense of privacy.

Science and reason have rounded the corner and are honing in on truth faster than pro-abortionists can say choice.
