Come Dec. 1, the Supreme Court will examine the question, “Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.”
Like the apocryphal question, “When did you stop beating your wife?” this very question is pre-loaded with an illegitimate assumption.
The rules of logic tell us there is no such thing as a genuinely pre-viable human being. As long as I’m already purposefully living and growing in my mother’s womb and not yet born or aborted, I’m viable right where I am — not pre-viable.
The real question needing to be examined here is, “Whether any elective abortions are constitutional?”
Retired now, after a lifetime’s work researching the philosophy and language of human rights, I would humbly caution the Supreme Court justices to focus on the real question.
Caution No. 1
Having read huge swathes of the pro-abortion submissions to the Court regarding this case, I would first warn the justices against getting caught up in the prolific alarmism presented therein — beware whole litanies of alleged bad consequences for women should Roe v. Wade be overturned.
