Roe v Wade rightly overturned

These decisions, the Christian-centric civic group contends, created a so called “right’ to abortion across the United States. 

“We agree with the Court that these decisions were flawed and thus they were correctly overturned,” the JCHS stated in a media release.

“No one has the right to take innocent human life, irrespective of the age or physical location of that human person.”

The group further contends that the action of creating “rights” that are not in the Constitution, is overstepping the authority of the Court.

In the release they noted that the role of the Court is to adjudicate on the actual content of the Constitution and not to create “rights” that are foreign to the intention of the framers.

“Human rights can only be justified within a transcendent framework that recognises the inherent value of all human beings,” they say, adding that human rights are not “gifted” by one powerful group of humans to weaker and more vulnerable persons.

“The Dobbs decision will no doubt save millions of babies’ lives,” stated the JCHS. “It should strengthen our moral courage to retain those laws that recognize the value of the life of the unborn child.

“There is much work to be done. We are aware that crisis pregnancies will continue to be an issue and as such Government, churches, civil society groups, and the society in general must become more intentional in supporting women and children in these circumstances.”
