The fifth amendment says,
"No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ."
The 14th amendment says
"nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
A reasonable Supreme Court could interpret this to outlaw abortion.
It is not reasonable for the Supreme Court to use this to redefine marriage.

Good points. So what the courts had to do is redefine what it is to be human. According to article the judge that wrote the decision in Roe v Wade later admitted that the point he set for legal abortion of the baby inside the womb was arbitrary. Some time back I did a little research into when science considers a fetus to be human and there was no clear cut answer. I found basically it was a philosophical and religious question.
Also, I thought it was interesting that if Roe v Wade were overturned it would simply give the decision of legality back to the states. |

Trump's possible choices for the Supreme Court
http://www.npr.org/2017/01/24/511493397/3-judges-trump-may-nominate-for-the-supreme-court
The whole article is worth reading but especially the last 3 paragraphs. It could be there is more than one seat to fill in the SC during Trump's presidency, according to the article. But I can imagine the liberal judges will be hanging on just as long as they possibly can. |

That point now especially is a fact. We may again find senility along with liberals on board.
