    "Justice Ginsburg’s using her position to try to impose a feminist vision on federal policy ought to be recognized for what it was: an abuse of power. If you want to rewrite the law along feminist lines, that’s a perfectly honorable project — run for Congress."

    Any law that is written with specific people, delineated by ethnicity, gender, religion etc, is unconstitutional.

    a female has complete control of her body. The moment she becomes pregnant another body comes into play.

    The task of a scotus justice is to interpret the laws as written, not to make new laws.

    Refer me to the law pertaining to this.

    I have no idea as to whether Ruth Bader Ginsberg attempted to encroach upon the competence of Congress. However, there was a British Judge called Lord Denning who was somewhat right wing, with a visceral hatred of trade unions. He was a Law Lord but returned to the Court of Appeal as the Master of the Rolls (chief appeal court judge) in order to be able to try more cases. He had a habit of making the law up as he went along. This behaviour is not a preserve of Liberals.

    The article rejects the Framers' philosophy that the purpose of government is to protect the People's rights and that those rights include things not written down in statutes and Constitutions.

    See the Declaration of Independence and the Ninth Amendment for further details.

    EDIT: Or take this simple quiz:

    According to the Framer's philosophy before the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution, the People had:

    A) More Rights;

    B) Less Rights;

    C) The same amount of Rights?

    18 U.S. Code § 1112. Manslaughter
    The entire section:

    "(a)Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice. It is of two kinds:
    Voluntary—Upon a sudden quarrel or heat of passion.

    Involuntary—In the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to a felony, or in the commission in an unlawful manner, or without due caution and circumspection, of a lawful act which might produce death.

    (b)Within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States,
    Whoever is guilty of voluntary manslaughter, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both;

    Whoever is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both."

    Where does this statute support your claims?

    "(a)In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the words “person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual”, shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.

    (b)As used in this section, the term “born alive”, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.

    (c)Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being “born alive” as defined in this section."

    No1marauder has stepped in and responded quite eloquently.
    I'll defer to his response.

    I’m sure men can choose to have an abortion under the same law.
    I’ve never seen an equal pay for women act just an equal pay act.
    If it’s the former it’s badly worded but in practice it’s spot on.
