THE UNRELENTING DESIRE of conservatives to place a right wing ideologue on the Supreme Court to render right wind justice under law is predicated exclusively on conservatism's devotion to capitalism and Christianity, in that order. Roe versus Wade empowers women. Repealing it empowers government. So much for for teh conservative preference for limited government. God, it would conservatively seem, eschews giving guidance directly to women's hearts, and prefers to work through government. Capitalism is the opposite of the message of Jesus Christ, despite vehement conservative prostestations to the contrary. Give unto the poor and render unto Caesar contradict the free market's aversion to taxes and unearned income. Jesus, horrifyingly, was at least part socialist, arguably, entirely so. If the conservative Christian community believed in God instead of that diabolical monster impostor of the Bible, they would have faith that God gives guidance to every pregnant woman. If human suffering derives from free will, god, who gave humanity free will, remains responsible for human suffering, and condones it, and condones stellar and animal evolution, childbirth, and abortion. It is difficult to imagine Jesus disapproving of any government providing health care for every citizen. Conservatives despise Obamacare because it as government takeover of the healthcare system, socialism. Racist hatred of Obama is another factor. There has never been any documented instance of anyone, including conservatives, refusing to accept the benefits of social security, Medicare, or Medicaid, government socialism all. The same conservatives would willingly hand over women's reproductive choices to government. Nobody prefers abortion. Nobody prefers oppressive government. A majority of Americans are pro choice, and a majority of Americans are supportive of Obamacare. Obviously, constitutional arguments can be articulated supporting both sides of both issues. A nation's constitution should clearly represent the best interests of a majority of the citizens it governs. Failing that, it should be deemed inadequate, and replaced.
