Under the U.S. Constitution, slavery was legal for almost a century. Many scholars compare the Supreme Court’s Dred Scott decision – where the “Justices” said States had no right to prohibit slavery to the Roe v. Wade decision where other unelected “Justices” said States had no right to prohibit abortion. For a brief sample of the similarities, click here.

Abortion has now been legal in all fifty States for thirty years. I wonder how many more years will pass before this is overturned. Eventually, I am confident future generations will look back upon abortion with the same feelings our younger generations have about slavery. They will wonder how their ancestors could have done such a thing. Of course, many of their ancestors would not have done such a thing or they would not exist. One of the interesting byproducts of legalizing abortion is the country’s move to the right. Many children who would have been brought up by Liberals have been killed while Conservatives (and Independents like myself who value human life) attempt to raise children who also value other people.

To mark this anniversary, I started work on Solport’s references. Today I completed an initial sampling of abortion sites (pro-life, pro-abortion, and other references).
