329: Why the Fight for the Department of Health
Monday, 6 October, 2025
In this episode of Life Matters, Commissioner Johnston drives home the importance of understanding that Roe vs. Wade has not been "overturned". Those who focus on using that language have misunderstood and can best be described as only supporters of the 10th Amendment - States' Rights. The Dobbs Decision, which was hailed by the media for two months before it' release as "overturning" Roe v s.Wade, did no such thing. It is actually completely silent on the use of medicine to kill, and specifically the killing of unborn human babies. This is why the pr-life movement was opposed to Roe, because it violated Western Civilization's three millennia prohibition against intentional medical killing - the Hippocratic Oath. Because of the influence of the media on the thinking of the pro-life movement, and even some of its leaders, both religious and secular, the pro-life movement has failed to express or understand the need to address the destruction of medicine which began for the United States on January 22, 1973. In this episode, Brian uses the comments of United States Senator Steve Danes of Montana as Danes explains the continued use across the nation of the very powerful abortion medication mifepristone. Mifepristone is the killing element of the now famous drug, RU486. Simple people confuse this medication with the so-called "morning after pill." It is no such thing. Mifepristone can only be taken if the woman is at least 10 weeks pregnant. She must miss at least two periods for it to have the desired effect of altering her body's ability to carry a child and of dehydrating and then expelling the baby from her womb. It is clearly an abortifacient and has no absolutely no contraceptive qualities. Brian also includes the statement of Tony Perkins, who agrees that the Dobbs Decision is not what the media proclaimed and what many pro-life "leaders" have mistakenly called the overturn of Roe. Perkins explains that there are, in fact, more abortions being done now in the wake of Dobbs, than were done prior to Dobbs. It is imperative to understand that Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton, the companion decisions of 1973, are very much alive and with us in the United States. And the Right To Life movement must understand its job right now to secure these rights which were promised and committed to in our foundational government documents - the first and preeminent of which is the right to life.
