Roe v Wade Overruled – Statutory v Constitutional
Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Jun 24, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Roe v Wade is correctly overruled not because abortion itself for the court did not overrule that superficially, but instead, it held:
“The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
The entire decision rested on a right to privacy which was created in Griswold v Connecticut whereby they tried to outlaw contraceptives. The question turned on the inability of the state to enforce such a law because it would have required a state official to observe a sexual act and that you complied with not using a condom. It was a real stretch to extend that right to abortion.
The defense of Roe v Wade is actually hypocritical for the Democrats. The main support comes from Gates and Rockefeller Foundations and it is covertly supported by the United Nations. This is all about the Planned Parenthood agenda to provide abortions to minorities to reduce their population. Now you may think I am being a conspiracy theorist. However, back in 2009, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg bluntly told the truth, when she was for equal rights for women.
“Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” She spoke bluntly in an interview published in the New York Times Magazine which was an article on women on the court. So it was not simply a woman’s rights agenda. That was the cover story to hide the real agenda which has always existed – eugenics and to reduce the population of the minorities.
There is NOTHING in the Constitution that guarantees any right to an abortion. There is a huge difference between STATUTORY law and CONSTITUTIONAL law. The former is acceptable as long as it does NOT violate the latter. This decision is throwing it back to the States BECAUSE this is a matter for STATUTORY law – not CONSTITUTIONAL any more than putting up a stop sign by the local municipality.
This is a MAJOR victory because it is striking down the entire program of Planned Parenthood that Gates’s father was the head of and the offices were strategically placed in poor, minority regions, for the very purpose of promoting abortions to reduce the population.
It is hard to comprehend how some women because brainwashed into thinking they had some Constitutional right to abort a child whenever they felt like it which was a clever sales job of Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation. This is like Schwab now saying you will own nothing and be happy pretending again this is all for you when in fact it is to hide the agenda of the government defaulting on their debts. It is the same trick of insurance companies. They sell you fire, earthquake, flood, theft, and accident insurance but they could NOT sell DEATH insurance for people who felt it was bad luck so they flipped the name and called it LIFE insurance. Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation convinced women it was their RIGHT to abort a child and how dare anyone say otherwise – so go ahead and assert your womanhood! Great mind game to say the least.

Harmeet Dhillon Gives a Pragmatic Legal Perspective on Supreme Court Ruling
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2022 | Sundance
Ms. Harmeet Dhillon appears on the Tucker Carlson show to discuss the Supreme Court ruling that sends the issue of abortion back to the individual states for determinations of legal issue by the legislative bodies closest to the people. {Direct Rumble Link} Dhillon provides a clear-eyed and pragmatic review of the Roe -vs- Wade case nuance overall.

French President Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau Denounce the U.S. Supreme Court
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2022 | Sundance
Quite a remarkably telling situation when the foreign leaders of France and Canada begin to think they have some political responsibility to deliver their opinions on decisions within the United States government.
Yes, their pronouncements are fraught with stupidity considering their own national laws on abortion were/are much more stringent than the United States, but that belies the point of their insufferable arrogance. The globalist outlook is structured around their own sense of importance.
The protestations from Macron are particularly ridiculous since France has a legal limit of 14 weeks for abortion [LINK].
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the same man who forced all women in Canada to undergo a vaccine requirement or remove themselves from society, took the hypocrisy of his own “women’s health” policy one step further than Macron.
It is worth noting, “there are currently no Canadian laws that explicitly guarantee access to abortion as a right,” [LINK] putting the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the exact same place as the Canadian government position on the issue.
However, Canadians more than 23 weeks into their pregnancy cannot get abortions in Canada. Instead, according to CTV they travel into the United States to get the procedure.
“According to a study published by Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights in 2019, no providers in Canada offer abortion services more than 23 weeks and six days into a pregnancy. Those who are this far into their pregnancy and looking for an abortion often travel to the United States for the procedure instead, which would be in jeopardy should Roe v. Wade be overturned.” (more)
Democrat Rep Maxine Waters Promotes Insurrection, Says Rulings from the Supreme Court Should be Defied by Opposition
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2022 | Sundance
The same representative who advocated for violence against President Trump cabinet members, appeared in front of the Supreme Court today to advocate for defiance against the constitutional limitations on government power.
Maxine Waters (California CD-43) represents the outlook of the radical leftists in her emotional reaction to the Supreme Court ruling that lets states decide what laws should be in place to limit the killing of unborn babies. Ms Waters specifically cited and called for the defiance of “black women” in opposition to the ruling. Her proclamations make evil and twisted sense from the perspective of the abortion industry, as unborn black babies are disproportionately killed by abortion providers. WATCH:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) documented in its Abortion Surveillance report for 2015 – released on Nov. 23, 2018 – that while black Americans comprise 13.4% of the U.S. population, they accounted for 36.0% of the abortions in 2015. Black women have three times the rate of abortion as white women, and that higher abortion rate is consistent even after you filter the control data to remove income from the issue {link}.
The number one customer for abortion services are young pregnant black women. This was also the target audience identified by Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood and an avowed racist. The racial roots of Planned Parenthood go back to the founding.
Angry Biden Lashes Out at Supreme Court, Declares Abortion is on the Ballot This Fall
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2022 | Sundance
With the advanced leak of the Supreme Court abortion ruling, the White House had two months to prepare for the political use of the issue. Today, the installed occupant of the oval office, was immediately thrust to the microphones to read the prepared remarks. [Transcript Here]
Within seconds of his script an angry and cognitively unstable Biden declared, “with Roe gone, let’s be very clear: The health and life of women in this nation are now at risk.” The pre-scripted hyperbole continued, “the Court’s decision to do so will have real and immediate consequences. State laws banning abortion are automatically taking effect today, jeopardizing the health of millions of women, some without exceptions. So extreme that women could be punished for protecting their health,” he exclaims. WATCH:
[…] “This fall, we must elect more senators and representatives who will codify a woman’s right to choose into federal law once again, elect more state leaders to protect this right at the local level. We need to restore the protections of Roe as law of the land. We need to elect officials who will do that. This fall, Roe is on the ballot. Personal freedoms are on the ballot. The right to privacy, liberty, equality, they’re all on the ballot. ” (read more)
In addition to the Supreme Court affirming federalism and the rights of individual states to make their own decisions on abortion, there is another downstream benefit to the Roe decision. Leftists are less likely to migrate to Red states.
[Full Transcript of Remarks Here]
Hopefully the most radical leftists will now self-isolate and stop migrating to regions where traditional American values are being retained. This would be a natural outcome if the actions of the left-wing democrats were to match their rhetoric. Unfortunately, I fear the abortion issue is not as big a political issue as the megaphones in media would like to believe. Recent polling has shown very little political benefit in/around the issue of abortion.
It would be a good outcome if overturning Roe resulted in democrats stopping their migration away from their own left-wing policy madness; however, I’m not sure the abortion issue will overcome their desire to live outside of their insanity. Leftists are ultimately the best representatives of cognitive dissonance when it comes to living up to their own ideological standards.
Democrats have long been known as “Blue Locusts” because they flee the totalitarianism and consequences they create; then seek to destroy the abundance they desire to have around them. Modern leftists are dangerous in the destructive outlooks they carry.
If the Roe decision resulted in these leftists self-isolating away from conservative states, this would be of great benefit. Alas, I doubt they are as committed to the issue as they claim.
President Trump Releases Statement Following Supreme Court Roe Decision
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2022 | Sundance
Following the Supreme Court ruling, President Donald Trump released the following statement.
“Today’s decision, which is the biggest WIN for LIFE in a generation, along with other decisions that have been announced recently, were only made possible because I delivered everything as promised, including nominating and getting three highly respected and strong Constitutionalists confirmed to the United States Supreme Court. It was my great honor to do so!
I did not cave to the Radical Left Democrats, their partners in the Fake News Media, or the RINOs who are likewise the true, but silent, enemy of the people.
These major Victories prove that even though the Radical Left is doing everything in their power to destroy our Country, your Rights are being protected, the Country is being defended, and there is still hope and time to Save America! I will never stop fighting for the Great People of our Nation!” (link)
Supreme Court Reverses Roe, Overturns Constitutional Right to Abortion and Returns Abortion Law to the States
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2022 | Sundance
The 213-page Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs -v- Jackson (Mississippi case) is FOUND HERE. The ruling in the Dobbs case was 6-3 in favor of allowing Mississippi to place limits on abortion after 15 weeks. However, in combination with the Dobbs decision the court has overturned (by a 5-4 vote) the 1972 Roe -vs- Wade decision that created a constitutional right to abortion.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined with the majority on the Dobbs decision (Mississippi) but said he did not agree with the decision to overturn Roe. The vote to overturn Roe was 5-4. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett joined Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion.
Due to an unprecedented leak in the Alito draft opinion in May, the Roe decision was anticipated. The leaked draft opinion showed that a majority of the justices were privately poised to remove a constitutional right for abortion; today that step was taken.
SCOTUS BLOG – […] Alito began his 79-page opinion by observing that abortion “presents a profound moral issue on which Americans hold sharply conflicting views.” But the Constitution does not refer to abortion at all, Alito stressed, and nothing in the Constitution implicitly protects the right to an abortion.
Although the Supreme Court’s decisions in Roe and Casey established such a right, Alito continued, those decisions should nonetheless be overruled despite the principle of stare decisis – the idea that courts should not overturn their prior precedent unless there is a compelling reason to do so. Noting that some of the Supreme Court’s other landmark decisions, such as Brown v. Board of Education, rejecting the “separate but equal” doctrine, had overruled precedent, Alito emphasized that Roe was “egregiously wrong and deeply damaging” and – along with Casey – should not be allowed to stand. Instead, Alito concluded, the issue of abortion should “return … to the people’s representatives.” (read more)
Abortion rights activists and politicians have been preparing for this moment for two months. Immediately after the decision to overturn Roe was released all of the far-left activists, media stenographers and politicians began reacting.
This supreme court ruling will lead several news cycles and opposing it will form the cornerstone of the 2022 Democrat mid-term election campaign in every state. The media have been polling this abortion issue since the draft leak in early May.
CNN did an extensive poll on the abortion issue of young people voting – [pdf here]
CTH pulled all the poll data into one easier to read infographic of the responses by age (below). The 18-to-34-year group are not single-issue voters.
31% of that age group say a candidate MUST agree with them on abortion, while 69% say abortion is only one of several factors or not much of a factor.
The 18–34-year group is also reasonably pragmatic. If Roe v Wade overturned, 21% say abortions likely to be banned where they live; 31% say likely harder but not banned; 26% say it wouldn’t make a difference; and 22% not sure what would happen where they live.
DNC Lowers Fundraiser Prices Amid Harris’ Low Approval Ratings
Armstrong economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jun 23, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Kamala Harris has done nothing to improve the lives of Americans during her time as vice president. It comes as no surprise that her approval rating is between 39% and 35.5%, depending on what poll you view. Harris is so unpopular that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) had to postpone their Women’s Leadership Forum that Harris was due to headline because they did not sell enough tickets. This indicates Harris is falling out of favor with her main support base — Democratic women.
Furthermore, Democrats expected people to shell out $15,000 to take their picture with the vice president. After some self-reflecting, the DNC will charge only $5,000 for a photo op with the unpopular vice president.
At least twelve staff members have left her office in the past two years after describing Kamala as “abusive” and “toxic.” Some former staff members said they are “terrified at the thought of her becoming president.” Her abusive treatment of staff members matches the apathy she shows to the American public in her interviews. One staff member said that being around Kamala left them with “a sense of paranoia in that office that you never knew when she was going to snap at you.” Biden may be losing his mind, but Kamala does not seem mentally stable either.
German Economic Minister Announces Restart of Coal Power Plants for Electricity Due to NATO Sanctions and German Dependence on Russian Oil and Gas
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 23, 2022 | Sundance
To say the recent remarks from German Economic and Climate Minister Robert Habeck showcase the stupidity of the western sanctions would be an understatement. In a broad energy policy announcement to the German people, Minister Habeck has announced that natural gas is now urgently being stored and built up in order to survive next winter.
Additionally, the German parliament is being called into emergency session to re-write climate laws allowing coal-fired electricity power plants to be brought back on-line. Essentially, years of German renewable energy investments and initiatives are now being reversed in order to maintain the commitment to NATO sanctions against Russia.
You can read the full translated remarks HERE. Some of the more stunning excerpts are below.
GERMANY – Minister Robert Habeck […] “The situation on the gas market has deteriorated in recent days. The missing quantities can still be replaced, and the gas storage tanks are still being filled, albeit at high prices. Security of supply is currently guaranteed. But the situation is serious. We are therefore further strengthening precautions and taking additional measures to reduce gas consumption.
[…] In order to reduce gas consumption, less gas is to be used to produce electricity. Instead, coal-fired power plants will have to be used more. […] That means, to be honest, more coal-fired power plants for a transitional period. That’s bitter, but in this situation it’s almost necessary to reduce gas consumption. We must and we will do everything we can to store as much gas as possible in summer and autumn. The gas storage tanks must be full in winter. That has top priority, ”said Habeck. (read full remarks)
In order to unbuckle themselves from dependence on Russian pipelines, Habeck also announced that floating Liquified Natural Gas terminals will have to be created so they can source LNG from other nations. Currently Germany has no port system to offload LNG, they will be purchasing and leasing floating ships to act as LNG terminals.
I am reminded of the prior warning to Germany from U.S. President Donald Trump. It’s worth remembering that U.S. media blasted President Trump for being so brutally honest in his NATO remarks where he warned about the danger of Germany being so dependent on Russia for oil and gas. WATCH:
