  • Does the Fourteenth Amendment Prohibit Abortion?

    Does the Fourteenth Amendment Prohibit Abortion?

    PROTECTING PRENATAL PERSONS: DOES THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT PROHIBIT ABORTION? What should the legal status of human beings in utero be under an originalist interpretation of the Constitution? Other legal thinkers have explored whether a national “right to abortion” can be justified on originalist grounds.1 Assuming that it cannot, and that Roe v. Wade2 and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylva- nia v. Casey3 were wrongly decided, only two other options are available. Should preborn human beings be considered legal “persons” within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, or do states retain authority to make abortion policy? INTRODUCTION During initial arguments for Roe v. Wade, the state of Texas ar- gued that “the fetus is a ‘person’ within the language and mean- ing of the Fourteenth Amendment.”4 The Supreme Court rejected that conclusion. Nevertheless, it conceded that if prenatal “per- sonhood is established,” the case for a constitutional right to abor- tion “collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaran- teed specifically by the [Fourteenth] Amendment.”5 Justice Harry Blackmun, writing for the majority, observed that Texas could cite “no case . that holds that a fetus is a person within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.”6 1. See Antonin Scalia, God’s Justice and Ours, 156 L. & JUST. - CHRISTIAN L. REV. 3, 4 (2006) (asserting that it cannot); Jack M. Balkin, Abortion and Original Meaning, 24 CONST.

    The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Catholic Campaign Became a Conservative Evangelical Cause

    Religions 2015, 6, 451–475; doi:10.3390/rel6020451 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Catholic Campaign Became a Conservative Evangelical Cause Daniel K. Williams Department of History, University of West Georgia, 1601 Maple St., Carrollton, GA 30118, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-678-839-6034 Academic Editor: Darren Dochuk Received: 25 February 2015 / Accepted: 3 April 2015 / Published: 16 April 2015 Abstract: This article employs a historical analysis of the religious composition of the pro-life movement to explain why the partisan identity of the movement shifted from the left to the right between the late 1960s and the 1980s. Many of the Catholics who formed the first anti-abortion organizations in the late 1960s were liberal Democrats who viewed their campaign to save the unborn as a rights-based movement that was fully in keeping with the principles of New Deal and Great Society liberalism, but when evangelical Protestants joined the movement in the late 1970s, they reframed the pro-life cause as a politically conservative campaign linked not to the ideology of human rights but to the politics of moral order and “family values.” This article explains why the Catholic effort to build a pro-life coalition of liberal Democrats failed after Roe v. Wade, why evangelicals became interested in the antiabortion movement, and why the evangelicals succeeded in their effort to rebrand the pro-life campaign as a conservative cause.

    Abortion: Judicial and Legislative Control

    ABORTION: JU3ICIAL AND LEGISLATIVE CONTROL ISSUE BRIEF NUMEER IB74019 AUTHOR: Lewis, Karen J. American Law Division Rosenberg, Morton American Law Division Porter, Allison I. American Law Division THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE MAJOR ISSUES SYSTEM DATE ORIGINATED DATE UPDATED FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CALL 287-5700 1013 CRS- 1 ISSUE DEFINITION In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Constitution protects a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy, Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, and that a State may not unduly burden the exercise of that fundamental right by regulations that prohibit or substantially limit access to the means of effectuating that decision, Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179. But rather than settling the issue, the Court's rwlings have kindled heated debate and precipitated a variety of governmental actions at the national, State and local levels designed either to nullify the rulings or hinder their effectuation. These governmental regalations have, in turn, spawned further litigation in which resulting judicial refinements in the law have been no more successful in dampening the controversy. Thus the 97th Congress promises to again be a forum for proposed legislation and constitutional amendments aimed at limiting or prohibiting the practice of abortion and 1981 will see Court dockets, including that of the Supreme Court, filled with an ample share of challenges to5State and local actions.

Case Western Reserve Law Review·Volume 67·Issue 2·2016 Personhood Amendments After Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt Steven R. Morrison† Abstract Over the past six years, pro-life advocates have used Targeted Regulation of Abortion Provider (TRAP) laws and state-level consti- tutional personhood amendments to end abortion. The United States Supreme Court’s recent opinion in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt suggests that the TRAP strategy will give way to a greater push for personhood amendments. This is so for three reasons. First, Whole Woman’s Health undermined the woman’s-health basis for TRAP laws and may encourage advocates to refocus their efforts on fetal rights. Second, Whole Woman’s Health limited the types of sta- tutes that can survive judicial scrutiny, but left constitutional amend- ments untouched. Third, with TRAP laws under attack, the pro-life movement’s only other sustained, institutional strategy is to push personhood amendments.

THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR A HUMAN LIFE AMENDMENT, INC.: ITS GOALS AND ORIGINS ROBERT N. LYNCH* The National Committee for a Human Life Amendment, Inc., is a new organization which has been established by the nation's Catholic bishops for the single purpose of securing a constitutional amendment protecting the life of the unborn. While the need for such a committee is directly attributable to the 1973 decision of the United States Supreme Court and its consequent effects, the decision to form this organization was not made until the annual general meeting of bishops in November of 1973. At their November meeting, the bishops, after reflecting upon the activities and promise of all the various pro-life groups presently in exist- ence, decided that another group would be necessary to answer those crit- ics who had charged them with failure to provide leadership in the pro-life area. Borrowing upon the model which was utilized during the ultimately unsuccessful effort to secure federal income tax credits for the parents of nonpublic school children, and upon the advice of counsel and of the Gen- eral Counsel of the United States Catholic Conference, the bishops decided to establish a separate corporation which would meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Smith • Kathryn Jean Lopez Published by: The Human Life Foundation, Inc. New York, New York Vol. XXIX No.3 $7.00 a copy ABOUT THIS ISSUE ... ... the disconnect between hard-wired abortion elites and what an old Apple Computer ad campaign memorably called "the rest of us" is reaching grotesque proportions. A July 2 story in the Washington Times, for example, reported that "fifty-one percent ofwomen surveyed by the Center for the Advancement ofWomen [headed up by former Planned Parenthood president Faye Wattleton] said the gov­ ernment should prohibit abortion or limit it to extreme cases, such as rape, incest, or life-threatening complications" (my emphasis). But that didn't stop the New York Times from branding David Pryor, the pro-life attorney general of Alabama and Bush federal court nominee, an "extremist," whose views "fall far outside the political and legal mainstream" (July 23). To New York Times editors, and Senate Democrats now filibustering Pryor's nomination, "mainstream" means partial-birth abortion. How did it come to this? Long-time contributor (and political indepen­ dent) Mary Meehan reminds us that pro-lifers once held real power in the Demo­ cratic Party; they are not, she suggests, totally without blame for its having become the party of abortion ("Democrats for Life," page 63).
