I was discussing the abortion issue on a forum filled with “Constitutionalists” and was informed that our privacy rights are not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.  Roe vs Wade was made into law based on the privacy rights of American women.  This movement will try to show the lack of these rights and then have the Constitutional authority to repeal the whole thing.

Personally I was against Roe vs Wade back in the 70s as I felt it should have been done state to state.  In California we had a petition going around to stop the state ban on the procedure and it became redundant when all abortions were declared legal.

With the election of President Bush in 2000 the undercurrent was exposed and he made a pact with the Christian Coalition to write several amendments to the Constitution prohibiting same sex marriages, abortions, stem cell research with the possibility of a ban on prostitution.  The Republican Conservatives were convinced that legislating against these sins would clean up the morals of America.   Bush made it a campaign issue and the voters, still emotionally strained over Clinton’s shenanigans, fell all over themselves voting for the Bush/Cheney ticket.

We have seen the removal of our privacy rights in the Patriot’s Bill and the runaway surveillance being done by the federal government and it is time it was stopped!  Abortion rights will also take a hit when the Supreme Court decides to remove a sacred right to privacy that is apparently missing from our laws.

This issue is the main agenda being discussed by the Republican National Committee and will be the basis of the 2006 elections in November as well as the Presidential Campaign in  2008.

I wrote this piece for the sole purpose of notifying the “Republican Majority for Choice” to take some kind of action to clear up whether we have privacy rights or not.
