Real, raw moment… Justice Thomas did call into question the right of #GayMarriage in the #RoeVsWade ruling… I’ll give up my “right” of my marriage with my husband… if it in fact saves the lives of millions of unborn children… period!
I was raised to value the sanctity of human life. Abortion isn’t just about rights of medical care, as there will always be outlier exceptions… the issue rests in the “personhood” of a fetus/embryo/baby… and I say there is personhood.
I don’t believe the state has any real right to adjudicate committed relationships. That’s a faith based issue… however, using historical due process and 14th amendment ideals… there is a logistics problem…
Because from our founding as a nation, the basis of the standard, there is no historical tradition of same-sex marriage… only committed hetero-normative history. So #ClarenceThomas isn’t actually wrong…
The problem lies with the Judeo-Christian value system in which the Constitution was written.. and I can’t escape that… a revision to that historical record is the only real option.
Still, I would sacrifice my own rights for the lives of unborn children. Why… because others matter more than me! Period. Selfishness has no value for anyone long term
