How many dead children will it take?

Soon, U.S. Supreme Court justices will ordain a zygote deserves more legal protection than a first grader. SCOTUS’ draft opinion overruling fifty years of Roe v. Wade so states. 

Not the first time SCOTUS showed disdain for legal precedent!

In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), SCOTUS overruled seventy years of rational thinking about gun control. 

The Second Amendment states: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 

While paying lip service to textualism, SCOTUS ignored the plain words about a “well regulated Militia” like the National Guard. SCOTUS said half of the Second Amendment was prefatory and meaningless. 

Before Heller, we were dedicated to the proposition that the Second Amendment guarantees no right to keep and bear a firearm that does not have some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia.

Time for reasonable gun control.
Heller must go!

Tell your elected representatives, both State and Federal, to pass laws challenging Heller. This November, elect representatives, both State and Federal, who will pass laws challenging Heller.

Give SCOTUS the chance to read the entire Second Amendment.
Give SCOTUS the chance to correct its mistake. 

Our children must have the freedom to have children of their own.
