ACLU Abortion Case to be Revisited by the Supreme Court

In case you where unaware, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear case to reverse one of the landmark cases for the legalization of abortion: Doe vs. Bolton. Doe vs. Bolton was a 1973 US Supreme Court case and companion to Roe vs. Wade whcucg legalize abortion for any real or perceived issues of the mother – not limited to health issues but expanded to issues around family, emotional, psychological, and age. The following excerpt is from an article in Insight Magazine:

In a case being closely watched by conservatives, the Supreme Court plans to hear a suit to reverse the Doe vs. Bolton abortion decision in 1973. Sandra Cano, the anonymous Doe and one of the women who sued for a legalized abortion, has argued that she never wanted an abortion. Instead, Ms. Cano said she was pushed into it by an aggressive American Civil Liberties Union attorney when she was a 22-year-old victim of an abusive husband with her three children in foster care.

“What I received was something I never requested—the legal right to abort my child,” Ms. Cano said in an affidavit in 2000. Ms. Cano said she never signed an affidavit that said she did not want or could not care for another baby. The affidavit also raised the possibility that she might commit suicide.

Ms. Cano said. “I do not believe it is my signature on the affidavit, and Margie either forged my signature or slipped this document in with other papers while I was signing divorce papers. I never told Margie that I wanted an abortion. The facts stated in the affidavit in Doe v. Bolton are not true.” –

I should not be surprised that the ACLU would have pressured a young woman to have an abortion to further its own agenda, but I am. It may pale compared the many other injustices of this organization, but it is stark and personal attack. Is there no limit to how far they will go to further an agenda?

Years after the Supreme Court decision, Ms. Cano sued to open up her records, a move opposed by Ms. Pitts Hames. The records showed that Ms. Cano had applied for abortion, was rejected and then sued the state of Georgia, all of which she said was a lie.

In a case meant to be considered on Oct. 6, Ms. Cano said the justices, despite advances in medicine, have “frozen abortion law based on obsolete 1973 assumptions and prevented the normal regulation of the practice of medicine.” The case has been followed by abortion foes in both the evangelical and Catholic communities. “The basic thing is that Doe v. Bolton was fraud,” Ms. Cano said. “None of this was my decision. None of this was me. I don’t understand why no one took it upon themselves in such an important case, a case that allowed a law to be passed to take innocent human lives, to speak to the plaintiff in the case. Why they didn’t speak to me?”

While not as critical as Roe Vs. Wade, the reversal of Doe vs. Bolton would be a major win against abortion on demand and the ACLU’s anti-life agenda. Almost as important is that this case could cast a light upon the extremes to which the ACLU is willing to go in furthering its own agenda. It shows that the ACLU considers plaintiffs, the courts, and even the unborn as pawns in a game to destroy this nation. There is no approved way to petition the Supreme Court in cases such as this,but a letter to the Justices is not out of line. You can find instructions for contacting the Supreme Court here.
