In this episode of Life Matters, Brian Johnston examines, in-depth, the surprising news that the Supreme Court is accelerating its review of Roe versus Wade. November 1, 2021 the Supreme Court has agreed to hear oral arguments in the case of the new Texas law known as the “Heartbeat Bill”.
Abortion radicals are deeply alarmed at the impact of allowing the Texas measure to stay in affect, which the Supreme Court has done up until this point. The Biden administration, fulfilling its loyalty to the abortion industry, has pledged to use every aspect of the federal government to stop this Texas measure.
The passionate desire to overturn the Texas law has precipitated the Justice Department to not only request a full hearing on the Texas measure immediately, they have specifically requested a ruling on the possibility that it may lead to the overturn of Roe versus Wade.
In addition to establishing a beating human heart as a definitive, objective measure of the presence of a human life, the Texas bill (SB 8) also allows private individuals to sue abortionists.
This novel approach of individual civil actions has brought great alarm and consternation to the abortion industry. This aspect has been grossly mischaracterized and maligned by the media and the abortion industry.
Private civil action will need to be assessed by local judges, and the propriety of individual litigants is always determined by local judges. Abortion advocates assert that the law will spawn nuisance lawsuits.
But ‘nuisance lawsuits’ are, in fact, relatively common in normal civil court already. These courts stand ready to determine appropriate litigation. Determining the individual’s propriety as litigant is one of the first duties of local civil courts.
Finally, the state’s compelling interest to protect individual lives emanates from the undergirding principle in normal society that stronger individuals have a moral duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves. The 10th Amendment clearly outlines the rights and responsibilities of the federal government as emanating from the originating rights of the individual, and the individual states.
The federal government’s duties are, in fact, a reflection of more primordial rights and duties of human beings. As such, the authority of the government, is in fact, a reflection of the inherent authority and rights of the individual.
