Roe v. Wade

Fifty years ago, on January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court fabricated a so-called “right to abortion” out of thin air. This travesty of justice, which enabled the deaths of tens of millions of innocent little souls, deserves a place among the absolute worst legal decisions in American history. In fact, additional flawed moral and legal reasoning soon followed in Casey v. Planned Parenthood and Doe v. Bolton, built on Roe v. Wade’s flawed moral and legal reasoning, rendering almost all restrictions on abortion, however mild, “unconstitutional.”

The 50th annual March for Life will take place in the nation’s capital next month. At this year’s event, marchers will walk toward the U.S. Capitol building instead of the U.S. Supreme Court building as had been tradition. It is also the first March for Life event to happen since the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade last year.

This year brought a wake-up call to the Southern Baptist Convention, a war between Russia and Ukraine, the overturning of Roe v. Wade and much more. As we embark on a new year, let’s review some of the more influential moments of 2022.
