The Pew Research Center’s poll highlights that partisan gaps in attitudes towards preborn babies have broadened in recent years. For example, while 63 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said that “abortion should be legal in all or most cases” in 2007, a stunning 80 percent of such voters hold this view in 2022. Republicans’ attitudes, unsurprisingly, remain essentially unchanged at 38 percent.
I watched this (from Red Rocks) when it first dropped (I’m a fan, after all). Burr is his angry, incredulous self – just how we like him. And these are jokes, people—lots of them, about many things. But when you talk about abortion, especially now, it triggers a lot of folks, so hey, why not talk about that?
Since 2018, New York City has paid over $200,000 to Drag Story Hour NYC to read books to K-12 students. New York Mayor, Eric Adams—a democrat—defended the practice, stating, “The goal is not only for our children to be academically smart, but also emotionally intelligent. Drag storytellers, and the libraries and schools that support them, are advancing a love of diversity, personal expression, and literacy that is core to what our city embraces.”
Trying to cover up his incompetence with a bloodthirsty ploy to increase abortions in his state isn’t just ill-advised by Newsom, it’s moronic. California has some of the most liberal abortion laws in the country, allowing late-term abortions well beyond viability. Babies that would otherwise live full, productive lives without heroic efforts if they were removed from the womb are being slaughtered in California, with the butchery being funded by the state’s taxpayers.
And that there is the real problem! Be assured: the Young and Fertile who “depend on abortion for birth control” or “see abortion as a woman’s health issue”, couldn’t care less about the Court’s application of the law, the Constitution, Bill of Rights, stare decisis, enumerated powers or any of that pointy-headed legal stuff. It gets in the way of the childish, foot-stomping, “I-want-what-I-want-when-I-want-it dictum.
Consumers can effectively choose to reject computer programs presented as on-demand “children” for our one-sided pleasure of some sort. But, without any moral system to guide our decision-making, next time we’ll be learning about experiencing the sensation of sexual intimacy in the metaverse. Forget trying to strike up a conversation with the opposite sex with the eventual aim of settling down and raising a family.
What if the unborn are, in some future legal context, defined as people? Article 22 would provide the unborn with “an individual right to personal reproductive autonomy [that] is central to the liberty and dignity to determine one’s own life course and shall not be denied or infringed.” You can’t abort them if they have these rights “unless justified by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive means.”
True to form, abortions are indeed legal in Sweden, and they are in fact considered a “right.” Fair enough. But there are conditions. You are only allowed to have an abortion until the 18th week of pregnancy. If you want to have one after the 18th week, “you need permission from Socialstyrelsen,” at which point that collection of doctors and medical officials will require the woman to have “special reasons,” such as a risk to her health.
In a related story, while participating in a fiery-but-mostly-peaceful riot in Washington D.C., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was asked to weigh in on Friday’s controversial Supreme Court decision Dobbs Vs. Jackson, the Congresswoman then put down her Molotov cocktail and explained, “Dobbs was a character in that racist TV show F-Troop. They’re all racists. Everything is racist, and this decision was racist.
Today, millions of new babies will actually live and very possibly make it into adulthood to realize the full potential of their life and all God has given them, by way of a good mind and fine abilities. And rather than look to a failing federal government to provide assistance, for single mothers, perhaps the country can see to the upkeep of homes for unwed mothers and programs that help them learn to stand on their own two feet, as we also send what donations we can to our local crisis pregnancy centers.
Despite any incoming facts or evidence that point to these dangers, they have never wavered from punishing those who have refused. Thousands of elderly family members have already been killed with no “mainstream media” coverage or investigation, and no charges, convictions, or even an apology.
That’s what happens with later-stage abortions, and predictably there is a lot of blood involved. It’s not health care. It’s not the exercising of someone’s ‘choice.’ It’s flat-out butchery, plain and simple. And with the possible exception of Satanism, to suggest that such actions are somehow not in conflict with one’s religion is simply outrageous.
The newly-released statistics from progressive reproductive health think-tank the Guttmacher Institute showed that the number of terminations rocketed by eight percent between 2017 and 2020. More than half of all terminations in 2020 were the result of the so-called “abortion pill,” which can be taken for the first 10 weeks of a pregnancy.
Kathy Hochul is echoing the “economic vision” of her soulmate from the other coast, Gavin Newsom. He also thinks that giving out free abortions is a great way to bring back businesses that have been fleeing his state faster than staffers are fleeing Kamala Harris’ executive team. Kathy would rather not address the mass exodus of population and businesses from her state.
Even if the American founders had foolishly looked to government to be the grantor of rights, the constitution itself does not name abortion as a granted right. Therefore, it would be for Congress to determine rights as it is the constitutional recipient of “all legislative power.” The judicial branch was not given any legislative power. Therefore, judicial decisions, including Roe v. Wade, do not constitute law and cannot grant rights.
During an interview with Fox News, Father Brian Graebe of St. Patrick’s Cathedral expressed that, normally, only a handful of people assemble to oppose the gathering of pro-life activists during the church’s first Saturday Mass and rosary procession. However, the priest expressed that the recent demonstrations were “of an entirely different order,” referring to a hundred protestors on-site in what he described as “??the celebration of death.”
For those of us far away in mind and body, we do not laugh, we do not cry, we do not even pity (though they are pitiful) these fools in a city named for a famous MAN (yes, I used the “M” word), George Washington. The city of the lying, bloated bureaucrats and pretentious “representatives.” The socialists, the baby killers, and the warmongers. The reds and the blues. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? No, just the bad and the ugly.
For, in fact, overturning Roe vs. Wade merely returns this question to the individual states where, in this thing called the “democratic process,” the American people (remember them?) will vote in these things called “elections” to determine whether or to what extent abortion will be limited. On the Alito draft, the American people in each state, in accord with the electoral processes in their own state, will decide this issue. It’s called “Democracy”.
The Biden regime always hides behind a facade and feigned concern for Americans, as it either creates crises or does nothing to stop them until they become full blown, dire and deadly events that give them an excuse to take more power and demand more obedience from Americans. They don’t care how many Americans die anytime soon, just so long as it’s not any of the so-called “elite” Democratic Party leadership.
Spray painting churches will not change hearts and minds. These “activists” are the same idiots who burned down former great cities like Portland and Minneapolis while tearing down statues all over the nation. They are mindless unemployed morons and we can only pray they do not reproduce.
Be prepared. Be on guard. America might witness a tide of leftist tantrums that will consume the news, television documentaries, and debates and discussions throughout social media. Furthermore, committed efforts to galvanize support among working Americans may spark radical activism to force the Supreme Court to uphold the 1973 ruling that gave women the right to take the life of their unborn.
Opinions on abortion have largely remained unchanged. But opinions on restrictions have changed dramatically. The Pro-Choice opinion may have a slight advantage, though it may depend on how the polling is done. America remains largely divided on the issue of abortion.
Many people believe that the left has “something” on Justice Roberts. He’s certainly known for siding with the left when they need it most, so would it be so out of his character to help the left by leaking the document? Nobody would ever trace it back to him, and endless rumors about left-wing clerks would circle DC and beyond for decades.
I will never consider her my mother. My actual mother earned the exclusive right to that title. But I do feel a sense of gratitude now. She chose to give me life and then chose to give me a better life than she could provide (for whatever reason that was). I understand that she made a decision for my welfare and likely suffered considerably for it. I hope now she knows how her decision affected my life.
The idea that reversing Roe would end “access to abortion” in the U.S. was a common refrain among the hyperbolic left. As many on the right side of this issue have long pointed out, this is nowhere close to the truth. Even if Roe is finally overturned—because such a decision would merely return the matter to individual states—tragically, throughout much of America, abortion would remain as legal as it is today.
