All of these definitions, from #3-6 generally deal with fidelity to constitutional government, though none of them specify the US Constitution. They must then be specifically applied to the US Constitution per its self asserted requirements.
The use of the words, “constitutional right,” while implying fidelity with our constitution, do not mandate true fidelity. In other words, it is certainly possible to imply, or demand that a, “right,” is constitutional while it is demonstrably not.
What do I mean? As a 66 year old, it has been insisted for most of my life that an abortion is a right of women, even though the chief beneficiaries of abortions are the, “father,” of the baby, and the abortion industry, not the woman, who is often the victim of sexual abuse of one sort or another.
It has also been claimed that this, “right,” is constitutional. On what basis can abortion be considered, “constitutional?” I, and many others have studied the US Constitution, and oddly enough, there is no mention of abortions in any part of the original text of the Constitution, or any of the 27 amendments. How then can abortion be constitutionally allowed, much less sanctioned, or protected? This was exactly the majority opinion of the Supreme Court in the Dobbs decision.
Anyone who is honest about the nature of American jurisprudence knows that the framers of our constitution set the Bible’s ten commandments as its foundation. And most, if not all of the original united states considered abortion murder, and thereby was a violation of the law.
The 6th commandment states, “Thou shalt not murder,” (or take innocent life.) We see an example of murder in the 4th chapter of Genesis. Cain murdered Abel, and the reason was the sickness of his own heart.
Likewise, there can be no innocent reason for taking the life of an innocent baby within the confines of its mother’s womb, (the womb is the protected environment provided for by our creator,) and there could not be a more innocent victim than one that has not yet draw breath.
Back to the Constitution, If there is no mention of abortion, in word, or implication within the Constitution, it cannot possibly be a, “constitutional right.” It matters not whether men in black robes declare it so.
In the majority opinion of the US Supreme Court, the “Dobbs" decision, Justice Alito plainly qualifies, and quantifies the constitutional failings of the, “Roe v Wade,” decision of 1973. It never was a righteous ruling, it never addressed any constitutional aspects of the facts of the case, and the continual repetition, and multitudes of references, and proclamations of, “precedent,” have never had the authority to legitimize abortions.
The reversal of, “Roe v Wade,” is a small step in the right direction for our nation.
PRAISE GOD!
