Abortion's always been about population control. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the

point. This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson

Women's Health Organization. Part of what the justices have to consider is a legal principle called

Starry Decisies, which means respecting precedent. If the High Court wants to respect Roe, it should

take into account why Roe was decided the way it was in 1973.

Since then, the pro-abortion movement has primarily insisted that abortion is a women's rights issue.

But back in 73, many Americans, especially elites, believed the now debunk theory that the world was headed for a catastrophic overpopulation. The Supreme

Court justices themselves noted in the official majority opinion in Roe v. Wade that this concern

motivated their decision to legalize abortion. So the justices should consider Roe's precedent

in the Dobbs case, and that the precedent was a debunk theory. And that way we'll see abortion

for what it really is, an unconstitutional

evil. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with The Point.
