The Supreme Court Justices of Roe vs. Wade: Mainly Republicans!
Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973),was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. It struck down many U.S. state and federal abortion laws. (Quoted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade)
I heard from Pastor Chuck Baldwin that it was a majority Republican Supreme Court that legalized abortion. I thought it would make a good post to do research on each of the justices that served on the Supreme Court in 1973 to see who appointed them and see if I could confirm what Dr Baldwin said.

The two justices who opposed abortion rights
Only one Republican nominated Supreme Court justice out of six Republican nominated justices voted against legalizing abortion! Only 1/3 of the Supreme Court justices, three in all, were nominated by a Democrat President, and one of them, the one nominated by President Kennedy, voted against legalizing abortion. And you tell me that the Republican party is against abortion? There is something sinister afoot.
A good book that talks about the American political system I highly encourage all to read is None Dare Call it Conspiracy.
