Everyone watching the Senate hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor knew the question about abortion case law would come eventually. When it did, Sotomayor gave the answer most political observers expected -- that the Roe v. Wade abortion case is "settled law."Roe is the 1973 high court decision that allowed virtually unlimited abortions and has resulted in the deaths of more than 50 million unborn children.
Sotomayor told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that she considers the controversial decision "settled law" and says there is a constitutional right to privacy. 'Privacy' is just a euphemism for abortion. Any mention of the baby's rights? Didn't think so.
That right is what the members of the high court used as their basis for claiming the Constitution includes a wholesale right to kill children and injure women in abortions throughout the entirety of pregnancy.
The nominee also said the Supreme Court upheld the Roe decision in the 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
"Casey reaffirmed the holding in Roe," she said, responding to questions from pro-abortion Sen. Herb Kohl of Wisconsin. "That is the Supreme Court's settled interpretation of what the court holding is and it's reaffirmance of it."
