Dred Scott v. Sandford (or the Dred Scott Case)
1. The Supreme Court Case decided in 1857, which declared that slaves are not "men" entitled to Constitutional Rights, but "property" that may not be taken from their owners without due process of law.
The Dred Scott Case is frequently mentioned by pro-life advocates in context with the Supreme Court abortion rights case Roe v. Wade in order to illustrate the point that some Supreme Court decisions are not necessarily moral or just and should be overturned accordingly. Mentioning the Dred Scott case while discussing the issue of judicial appointments allows Republican politicians to secretly transmit their opposition to Roe v. Wade to pro-life opinion leaders while avoiding a scare in the pro-choice community. |
