But they can't put the bible ahead of the constitution, which is what religiously oriented zealots do

When you and God disagree, God is wrong?

Provide an example please...

I'm not very familiar with the SC...

When has a SC Justice ruled against the Constitution due to their religious beliefs???

Well right now Roe vs. Wade is up on the to do list and look how many of those folks are Catholic.

Catholics are famous for the pressure they put on each other and I see the man's point. He is concerned that
settled law is going to be reversed on account of a persons religion.

Your example is something that has not happened...
And has no historical precedence...
Just blind bigotry towards individuals of faith...

You sound really smart making it...

Really...

Really...

Smart...

Do you realize how utterly stupid that sounds?

Many people are opposed to abortion - not just those who are religious and/or Protestant.

Hinduism on Abortion - The Modern Hindu
The three deontological premises against abortion are established below, namely 1) the unborn is a human life, 2) it is wrong to take a human life, and 3) abortion is the taking of a human life.

Sorry woodglue but personally I'll ALWAYS put God and the Bible first if the Constitution puts itself ahead of Him.

How can it be "settled law" when the leftists consider the constitution "fluid?"

"Settled" to the left means they've got it where they want it.

I can't wait until they do away with it. That will seal the Republican fate.

I assume you mean if SCOTUS overturns Roe v Wade, it will destroy the Republican party.
How so?

Roe v Wade was a SCOTUS ruling, not a bill passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the POTUS.

The decision was based on the due process clause of the 14th amendment which provides a "right to privacy" that supposedly protects a pregnant woman's right to choose whether to have an abortion, or as the saying goes, "the right to control her body".

If a woman has the right to control her body, would this not also include her right to control her sexual urges
and, in doing so, prevent the possibility of pregnancy altogether?

The Roe v Wade decision was not only unconstitutional (9th Amendment), it was immoral, unjust, and opened the door for industrialized genocide.

In a highly cited Yale Law Journal article published in the months after the decision, the American legal scholar John Hart Ely strongly criticized Roe as a decision that was disconnected from American constitutional law:

What is frightening about Roe is that this super-protected right is not inferable from the language of the Constitution, the framers' thinking respecting the specific problem in issue, any general value derivable from the provisions they included, or the nation's governmental structure. The problem with Roe is not so much that it bungles the question it sets itself, but rather that it sets itself a question the Constitution has not made the Court's business. Roe is bad because it is bad constitutional law, or rather because it is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be.

American constitutional law scholar Laurence Tribe had similar thoughts: "One of the most curious things about Roe is that, behind its own verbal smokescreen, the substantive judgment on which it rests is nowhere to be found."

PPH picked up the RvW ball and, in capitalizing on selling the remains of aborted babies for research, carried it far beyond the goal post. Many of the experiments with aborted baby parts would please Joseph Mengele.

The establishment of a billion dollar industry dedicated to killing the most defenseless and innocent of all human beings among us is evil.

Roe v Wade sealed the fates of millions of unborn babies.

Happy Birthday! Make a wish.

It means they've got it where they want it and they don't want anyone else to mess with it. Like they did on several election recounts, notably the jerk SNL senator from Minnesota eons ago. When the recount finally showed in their favor, they said, "OK, that's enough, recount is over."
