Roe v. Wade
You will likely read this or something like it on virtually every conservative and/or pro-life website today but I'm going to say it too: Roe is the worst Supreme Court decision in history.
Why?
Three main reasons:
1. Roe has caused the deaths of approximately 50 million unborn babies since 1973. That number is staggering but real.
2. Roe has yet to be overturned. Other horrible decisions (e.g. Dred Scott) have been overturned. Today, these rulings are generally referenced only by lawyers and remembered by the rest of us when we are helping our kids study for a history test.
3. Roe was an exercise in "raw judicial power." Written more as a defense of doctor's rights than anyone else's, the decision was based not in law but in convoluted and distorted reasoning.
Roe has helped no one; it has killed millions of children and harmed their mothers. It's time this Supreme Court decision was tossed into the dustbin of history.

“Jane Roe” Endorses Ron Paul on Roe v. Wade Anniversary January 22, 2008
Ron Paul’s consistent pro-life stand throughout his years in congress — not to mention his years as an OB/GYN — has won him the support of Norma McCorvey, who was Jane Roe in the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision thirty-five years ago today. She has since become a pro-life activist, leading Crossing Over Ministry (formerly Roe No More Ministry). Here’s what she says about Dr. Paul:
“I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v Wade. Ron Paul doesn’t just talk about being pro-life, he acts on it. His voting record truly is impeccable and he undoubtedly understands our constitutional republic and the inalienable right to life for all. Ron Paul is the prime author of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v. Wade. As the signor of the affidavit that legalized abortion 35 years ago I appreciate Ron Paul’s action to restore protection for the unborn. Ron Paul has also authored H.R. 1094 in Congress, which seeks to define life as beginning at conception. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn.
“After taking all of the presidential candidates into consideration, it is obvious that Ron Paul is the only one that doesn’t just talk the talk. For this reason and those stated above, I am publicly endorsing Ron Paul for president.”
