BREAKING: Leaked US Supreme Court Draft that would overturn the rulings that have led to 63+ million abortion deaths in the US since 1973

This, seems worth pondering on the state of the US’s ongoing 4th generation civil war as a civilisation level issue:

A draft Supreme Court opinion overruling Roe v. Wade has been leaked to the press in one of the greatest scandals to ever hit the nation’s highest court and a possible attempt to intimidate one or more justices to reverse their vote or to ignite a liberal brushfire to pack the Supreme Court before Democrats lose Congress in November.

“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” the possible draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito reads, making the case that where the Constitution is silent, the American people govern themselves through elections and elected leaders, not federal judges. It quotes the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who said, “The permissibility of abortion, and the limitations upon it, are to be resolved like most important questions in our democracy: by citizens trying to persuade one another and then voting.” It then adds, “That is what the Constitution and the rule of law demand.”

The document published by Politico that claims to be a draft opinion appears to be authentic, but it is not a binding decision of the court unless at least five justices sign it, and this looks like a transparent and unprecedented betrayal by one of the 45 or so people with access to a draft Supreme Court opinion to prevent this decision from becoming law by scaring off moderate justices and attempting to whip the political left into a frenzy.

Of course, the global pattern, with the US as a trend setter, has seen 800+ million [statistically 1.4+ billion] deliberately inflicted deaths on our living posterity in the womb. An associated picture is that in certain asian countries, devaluation of girls has led to widespread sex selection abortions and a preponderance of boys and now young men in population statistics.

To all of this, I make two self-evident assertions. 1: A human child is precisely that, human. 2: The first right is life, without which there are no rights.

Let’s add, 3: there can be no right to take innocent life at will.

Our civilisation is in the dock. END

U/D, May 10, as Vivid has pointed it out, let us embed a video of testimony by a former abortionist regarding second trimester abortions:

F/N May 7: As tangential objections to the design inference have been taken up (in obvious subject switching) I pose p. 5 from Sir Francis Crick’s March 19, 1953 letter to his son:

And, here is the protein synthesis process in outline:

Protein Synthesis (HT: Wiki Media)

Together with a summary of the information communication system involved, as outlined by Yockey:

Yockey’s analysis of protein synthesis as a code-based communication process

F/N, May 8: As the tangent continues, it seems a further illustration is advisable:

It seems more is needed, so here is how this fits into protein synthesis and the metabolic network and how we see prong height coding:

In for a penny, in for a pound, here is a video:

Notice, we are actually dealing with a storage register. Say, each shaft with pins is set for five positions, four elevated, one on the ledge. This is directly comparable to GCAT, and as the video shows there are five digits:

| X1 | X2 | X3 | X4 | X5 |

The key is encoded to the correct string of digits that in combination will open the lock, say 13213. The resting fully locked position is of course 00000.

PS, it seems, there is specific law on this matter, regarding protection of courts and judges: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1507
18 U.S. Code § 1507 - Picketing or parading U.S. Code Notes prev | next Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. Nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of the United States of its power to punish for contempt. (Added Sept. 23, 1950, ch. 1024, title I, §?31(a), 64 Stat. 1018; amended Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §?330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Ponder why, across decades, it has been thought advisable to have such law regarding Courts. In short, such assemblies -- as opposed to public protests or rallies that specifically are not "interfering with, obstructing, or impeding . . . " [cf. here the annual March for Life] -- are regarded as riots. In addition, such may be subject to contempt of court proceedings. PPS, thinking on it, the unauthorised disclosure, patently organised circulation and linked doxxing may well be Contempt.kairosfocus

FH, you obviously refuse to acknowledge a huge difference between living in a close neighbourhood of "Government Hill," which is prone to have protests marching by . . . BTW, factored into market prices . . . and being targetted in a toxic red guards haunted environment, doxxed and having intimidatory gatherings at one's private residence. There is a thin, ill defined line between such and vigilantism or even lynching or assassination. Where, we have seen an arson attack already. Noted for record. KFkairosfocus

KF: JH, doubling down on false projections. Truckers in Canada were not forming vigilante mobs going to people’s houses
Your mischaracterization of the protests in front of the justices’ houses is duly noted. It amounted to about 100 protesters who protested outside one house, walked to another house, were asked to disperse, and they did. How is that unacceptable but the occupation of several blocks for several weeks and harassing the residents and businesses is acceptable.JHolo

JH, doubling down on false projections. Truckers in Canada were not forming vigilante mobs going to people's houses [notice that, next door to lynch mobs], were not organising such. Public protest is fine and if Mr Trudeau had simply received a petition I suspect we would have been in a very different space. The resort to red guard mob intimidation is a further step in the breakdown of lawfulness, here compounded by arson, next to murder given how dangerous fires are. KFkairosfocus

It is not accusatory projection when it is an easily confirmed observation. We may disagree on our interpretations of your comments, but the comments are there for everyone to see.
Public protest or rally is fine [especially with proper police escort], preferably with a delegation sent with an actual petition passed by representatives or based on a signing campaign;
Now you are adding qualifications to the right to petition for redress of grievances that you didn’t apply to the trucker protest in Ottawa. I agree that people shouldn’t be protesting in front of a person’s house, but, using your own arguments with respect to the truckers, this is an acceptable form of protest as long as they remain on public property.JHolo

F/N: Firebombing: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/pro-life-groups-office-firebombed-madison-wisconsin/
The office of the pro-life PAC Wisconsin Family Action located in Madison was firebombed early Sunday morning. Police report at least one Molotov Cocktail was used. No injuries were reported in the 6 a.m. attack, however there are photos showing fire damage furniture and books inside and outside the office. Graffiti was spray-painted on an exterior wall with the message, “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either,” as well as an anarchist “A” symbol alongside the numerals “1312.”
This is threat to life, not merely property. And lawless threat to property is not to be excused. KFkairosfocus

Public protest or rally is fine [especially with proper police escort], preferably with a delegation sent with an actual petition passed by representatives or based on a signing campaign; publishing the petition is also relevant. Going to somebody's house like a bunch of vigilantes is another matter, especially if addresses etc are made broadcast to the public by doxxing. There is a world of difference between public and private space; perhaps, you have heard of the Castle doctrine. Your mischaracterisation of events in Ottawa [I cross checked] and likely, blowing off of police misuse of horses, is duly noted. KFkairosfocus

KF: JH, petition does not translate into intimidatory assembly — thus, riot — at private homes and circulation of addresses etc in a day where there are violent loonies of every stripe who could kidnap or worse. And you know it.
KF, your interpretation of the right to petition for redress of grievances appears to be dependent on whether or not you agree with the cause. I seem to remember when mob rule in Ottawa and at border crossings involved a blatant disregard for the rule of law (violating court orders) and protesting outside people’s homes, you whole-heartedly defended these tactics.JHolo

I have been doing some research (OK, googling) and can’t find any law that was broken by the leaking of SCOTUS documents. I am sure that SCOTUS staff must sign confidentiality and other terms of employment documents that list restricted behaviors, but I couldn’t discover if the justices sign the same documents.JHolo

“Each day our DNA is damaged by UV radiation, free radicals and other carcinogenic substances, but even without such external attacks, a DNA molecule is inherently unstable. Thousands of spontaneous changes to a cell’s genome occur on a daily basis. Furthermore, defects can also arise when DNA is copied during cell division, a process that occurs several million times every day in the human body. The reason our genetic material does not disintegrate into complete chemical chaos is that a host of molecular systems continuously monitor and repair DNA. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015 awards three pioneering scientists who have mapped how several of these repair systems function at a detailed molecular level. In the early 1970s, scientists believed that DNA was an extremely stable molecule, but Tomas Lindahl demonstrated that DNA decays at a rate that ought to have made the development of life on Earth impossible. This insight led him to discover a molecular machinery, base excision repair, which constantly counteracts the collapse of our DNA.” (The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2015/press.html ) Got that? DNA based life is impossible without existing error detection and error correction machinery. It has to be there from the get-go. You lose.ET

Kairosfocus: You claim to have cited Wikipedia, why then did you skip over how the article begins? With some telling admissions against known interest: Because the point I was discussing was how the genetic code came into being and that, if it arose because of chemical affinities, then it's not a purely abstract or arbitrary code. That would say it is the way it is because of the chemistry instead of by some intelligent design. So I didn't think I had to rehash all the material describing what the code does; that wasn't my point. Like I said, discussing ongoing and published research is not slanderous or lying. It's just pointing out that there is speculation and work being done addressing the issue.JVL
