Term limits for the Supreme Court

2 min read

To the editor:

Common sense dictates that we desperately need term limits for the Supreme Court. There is no doubt that the aging process serves to diminish the reasoning capacity of all human beings.

This being the case, it simply is unreasonable to believe that members of the Court, who have passed the time when intellectually they must stand in judgement and decide the most vital issues in the nation, remain capable of making these decisions.

The perfect case in point is the disgraceful Roe V. Wade decision. Abortion, the nice word for murder, is not only un-American, it’s a sinful, sickening, despicable, action that diminishes man and serves to disgrace all Americans.

There is no doubt that there are occasions where the mother’s life is in jeopardy. Or modern medicine has discovered that the fetus cannot survive and the pregnancy must be aborted. However, to make these occasions a license to authorize indiscriminate mass murder is beyond the realm of sanity. Term limits for the Supreme Court is a must and the immediate murders of millions of babies in the womb, a black mark on any nation that claims to be civilized, cannot continue.

If members of the Supreme Court are thinking clearly they will immediately end this sickening massacre. It’s a wholesale slaughter and nothing could be more un-American.
