On old Voat, that was one of the few subs I had blocked. Nothing good can come from viewing content or interacting there, except maybe a reminder to not let yourself get huge.
In June 1969, 21-year-old Norma McCorvey discovered she was pregnant with her third child. She returned to Dallas, where friends advised her to **falsely claim that she had been raped**, incorrectly believing that Texas law allowed abortion in cases of **rape** and incest when it actually allowed abortion only "for the purpose of saving the life of the mother".
She attempted to obtain an **illegal abortion**, but found that the unauthorized facility had been closed down by the police. Eventually, she was referred to attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington. McCorvey would end up giving birth before the case was decided, and the child was put up for adoption.
In 1970, Coffee and Weddington filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas on behalf of McCorvey (under the alias **Jane Roe**). The defendant in the case was Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade, who represented the State of Texas. **McCorvey was no longer claiming her pregnancy was a result of rape, and later acknowledged that she had lied about having been raped**, in hope to **circumvent a Texas law** that banned abortions except when the woman's life is in danger. "Rape" is not mentioned in the judicial opinions in the case.
On June 17, 1970, a three-judge panel of the District Court, consisting of judges Sarah T. Hughes, William McLaughlin Taylor Jr. and Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge (((Irving Loeb **Goldberg**))), unanimously declared the Texas law unconstitutional, finding that it violated the right to privacy found in the Ninth Amendment. In addition, the court relied on Justice (((Arthur **Goldberg's**))) 1965 concurrence in Griswold v. Connecticut. The court, however, declined to grant an injunction against enforcement of the law.
Oregon State Trooper, 29-year-old Zachary Kowing, has been placed on paid leave after taking a video of himself inside his patrol car and explaining why he will not enforce or abide by Democrat Governor Kate Brown’s discriminatory vaccine mandate.
In his video, the young state trooper explained that he understands the risks of speaking out and that he would “likely get fired” over making the video but said he is “nonetheless exercising my First Amendment Right to speak freely.”
“Miss governor, I think you’ve forgotten that you were elected by the people; therefore, you work for the people. The title governor does not give free rein to force medical decisions upon us,” Officer Kowing said.
“I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, to protect the freedom of the people who pay my salary, the 8-year veteran explained as he sat in his patrol vehicle. “I do not work for my governor but for them.”
“I have personal and religious reasons as to why I will not take the vaccine, as well as the freedom to choose not to,” he says. “I’ll likely get fired over this video, but I’m nonetheless exercising my First Amendment rights to speak freely.”
The outspoken patriot officer explained why he would no longer abide by these ridiculous CCP mandates: “I’ve fallen in line for over a year with these useless, ineffective mask mandates, and I will no more! I will not sit back and sheepishly watch as those who serve the people state are given unlawful orders which threaten their livelihoods, should they choose not to fall in line.”
Officer Kowling pointed out the discriminatory nature of their mandates, “Discretion is one of the most important parts of my job as a police officer. I will use that discretion, and I will not enforce useless mask mandates or unlawful vaccine orders. Doing so is discrimination, which I would be fired for if it were any other discriminatory subcategory.”
His final warning to Americans about accepting vaccine mandates is powerful. “But if you got the vaccine, out of fear. Be careful. You are slowly giving up the freedoms that so many have fought for,” he said and encouraged people to “to look deep down and decide if you’re going to fall in line as sheep, or if you’re going to stand up for the rights that we have for the short time, we still have them,” the brave officer told his viewers.
