The left is determined to maintain killing infants. 

A federal choose in Washington, D.C. urged that abortion should still be a federal proper baked into the thirteenth Modification, the one which prohibited slavery. Throw it in opposition to the wall, and see if it sticks, Your Honor.

U.S. District Decide Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, appointee of former president Invoice Clinton, turned heads this weekend along with her suggestion. Throughout an ongoing legal case, Kollar-Kotelly proposed that the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe solely involved the 14th Modification, and possibly there are “emanations” and “penumbras” elsewhere within the structure. 

She urged that the thirteenth Modification, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, may “cement abortion rights,” as The Hill famous. 

Basically she thinks that abortion ought to be protected as a result of slavery is prohibited and a girl carrying a child in utero is outwardly a type of slavery.

Lauren Useful and ten different defendants are on trial for supposedly “blocking” entry to an abortion clinic. Kollar-Kotelly pushed a court docket order urging events to contemplate the truth that the Dobbs resolution solely took the 14th Modification into consideration.

Right here’s what Kollar-Kotelly stated in an announcement:

The “subject” earlier than the Court docket in Dobbs was not whether or not any provision of the Structure supplied a proper to abortion. Moderately, the query earlier than the Court docket in Dobbs was whether or not the Fourteenth Modification to the Structure supplied such a proper. That’s the reason neither the bulk nor the dissent in Dobbs analyzed something however the Fourteenth Modification. The truth is, on the Court docket’s preliminary assessment, not a single amicus transient talked about something however the Fourteenth Modification and the unratified Equal Rights Modification.

This choose is solely attempting to persuade the court docket and the general public that there’s some form of constitutional loophole that federally protects abortion. There isn’t. Finish of story.
