"Deeply controversial issues like abortion and suicide rights have nothing to do with the Constitution, and unelected judges too often choose to find new rights at the expense of the democratic process, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said Saturday."
I'll agree this much: I hate the Supreme Court when they, in all simplicity, create laws and DO NOT judge the law.
However, abortion and suicide rights are big issues. I'll first get to abortion, as it is the simplest. What is that inalieable right that is first mentioned in the Constitution? The right to life. You may say that an unborn child is not a person, OK, but to decide that we need to figure out first when life ends - most would say either when the heart stops beating or when the brain waves stop. If it is when the heart stops beating, then life starts 14 days after gestation (when the heart starts beating). If it is when the brain stops beating, then it is 6 weeks into gestation (when the brain starts beating). Some say that it is a combination, it is when both the brain and the heart have stopped, and if that is the case then if either are functioning there is life and we go back to 14 days. Quite clearly, abortion
is
a Constitutional issue.
Oh, and the opposition would quote the Supreme Court's ruling on the right to privacy, which I think the Supreme Court ruling was half b/s.
As far as suicide, I haven't studied it much at all and don't know where it is Constitutionally (freedom of religion not from, right to life not to end it). To my knowledge, it (suicide) is not specifically mentioned. However, I come to this: if the state has a RESPONSIBILITY to nurture and maintain the wellbeing of it's people, to which I would point to almost any welfare program, education, et cetera, then the state has a responsibility to invest in the people and a right to maintain that investment. I hate to put it in a matter of business, but that's how it is. I don't want to pay taxes because it's my responsibility to make sure that someone can have a free education, can have food, can have clothes, can have a job, can have a roof over their head, and can end their life and all that has been sucked out of me and my fellow citizens for suicidals.
