In case you want a glimpse at the demonic mindset on display at the Supreme Court today.

CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell was clearly devastated over the Supreme Court’s historic decision to overturn Roe v. Wade Friday evening and she made it as clear as she could while still pretending to be an objective journalist. There were numerous moments where she showed her true stripes in the two segments before her softball interview with Alexis McGill Johnson of the baby murder mill Planned Parenthood.
The first moment came during the opening segment when O’Donnell falsely claimed the Supreme Court “ended a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.” In reality, there was never a constitutional right to abortion no matter what the judicial activists on the Supreme Court decided in 1973 when Roe v. Wade was decided.
After tossing to CBS’s legal correspondent Jan Crawford, and she gave her report on the court’s historic decision, O’Donnell began arguing with her: “Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a separate opinion as well. It has some wondering is same-sex marriage, is contraception next?”
Crawford responded “the court in the majority opinion said no. How could we be any more clear? This case is different. Abortion is different because it involves a human life.” She continued that “the right to contraceptives, the right to same-sex marriage, are not being cast in doubt or threatened by this ruling, the court said. But Justice Thomas wrote that separate opinion saying he thought they could be on the table. But that's one justice. It takes five.”
But that answer wasn’t good enough for O’Donnell because it doesn’t fit her leftist narrative. She responded by asking “what if the states move on same-sex marriage or to block contraception?”
Crawford calmly explained “that would be challenged. It would come right back to the Supreme Court and you would probably have eight justices then--Thomas might be here-- saying, get out of here.”
Later on in the broadcast, O’Donnell sat down with Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson where the two fretted over the demise of Roe v. Wade and panicked that abortion facilities are going to be closing in many conservative pro-life states.
Johnson wailed that the court’s decision “affects people with low incomes, black, brown, indigenous, people of color, folks who already are living at the margins. Those are going to be the people who are most harmed.”
O’Donnell then asked: “how many clinics across America from Planned Parenthood will be closed.” Johnson cried that “every provider, every frontline staff member, the call center staff, the calls that they are getting in from the patients, the tears, that they are-- that they are hearing is absolutely overwhelming.”
Later on, in the interview, was this histrionic back and forth (click expand to read):
O’DONNELL: Justice Alito and the other conservatives wrote in their majority opinion that this will not affect contraceptive rights. In the opinion he said abortion rights are inherently different from rights involving contraception and same-sex relationships. Is that how you see it?
Nowhere in the thirty-minute newscast was an interview aired with anyone from a pro-life clinic. O’Donnell seems to believe all women are pro-abortion. CBS has no interest in giving both sides of this debate equal time.

NORAH O’DONNELL: We're outside the Supreme Court after the landmark decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and ended a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

O’DONNELL: And Jan is with me here with more. So, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a separate opinion as well. It has some wondering is same-sex marriage, is contraception next?
JAN CRAWFORD: Well, I mean, that's right, because those are grounded in some of the same rights. But the court in the majority opinion said no. How could we be any more clear? This case is different. Abortion is different because it involves a human life. Those cases, the right to contraceptives, the right to same-sex marriage, are not being cast in doubt or threatened by this ruling, the court said. But Justice Thomas wrote that separate opinion saying he thought they could be on the table. But that's one justice. It takes five.
O’DONNELL: But what if the states move on same-sex marriage or to block contraception?
CRAWFORD: Well, then that would be challenged. It would come right back to the Supreme Court and you would probably have eight justices then--Thomas might be here-- saying, "Get out of here."

O’DONNELL: Earlier, we spoke with Alexis Mcgill Johnson. She's the president of Planned Parenthood, the leading provider of abortions in America. The organization also provides preventive care, like birth control, testing, and treatment for STDS and cancer screening. We begin by asking her which women will be most impacted by today's decision.
ALEXIS MCGILL JOHNSON: It affects people with low incomes, black, brown, indigenous, people of color, folks who already are living at the margins. Those are going to be the people who are most harmed.
O’DONNELL: How many clinics across America from Planned Parenthood will be closed?
JOHNSON: What I can tell you right now is happening is that affiliates, health centers are fighting to get every single patient in that they can see right now before the state issues an injunction. What I can tell you is the devastation that every provider, every frontline staff member, the call center staff, the calls that they are getting in from the patients, the tears, that they are-- that they are hearing is absolutely overwhelming.
O’DONNELL: How many women do you think will be denied abortion services and will have to perhaps try and travel to another state?
JOHNSON: Hundreds of thousands of women will be living in states that will be seeking access to abortion. They won't be able to get the care in the state that they need.
O’DONNELL: Justice Alito and the other conservatives wrote in their majority opinion that this will not affect contraceptive rights. In the opinion he said abortion rights are inherently different from rights involving contraception and same-sex relationships. Is that how you see it?
JOHNSON: No, not at all. We see state after state introducing incredibly extreme and harmful legislation related to criminalizing I.V.F., criminalizing I.U.D.S, criminalizing emergency contraception.
O’DONNELL: Wait, so you're saying you already see some state legislatures?
JOHNSON: They're introducing these kinds of laws. Yes.
O’DONNELL: To make it criminal to travel to another state to get an abortion?
JOHNSON: Yes.
O’DONNELL: What would be the effect of that?
JOHNSON: We're seeing people spying on each other, neighbors spying on each other, all for to deny people to make decisions about their own bodies. The increased criminalization that can happen. And, again, I'm not sure how they will enforce these kinds of laws, but these are the kind of things that are being contemplated and we have to be very alarmed about those.
Look at her comments when she was on MSNBC.
O’Donnell is a hack, and always has been. And she’s a has-been.
I know BS when I CBS....
I have not seen ONE pro-life commentator out of all the “news” channels or reports tonight. Truly showing their bias from the Soros owned companies.
Exactly.
No ‘counterpoint’ of a pro-life person. They’ve also misstated the ruling that abortion is now ‘banned’ nationally.
Most of the biggest protests are in places (NY/LA) where it’ll be allowed. They just want OTHER women to be able to murder their babies as well.
Imagine people protesting for their own genocide? Essentially what we are seeing today. How Satanic demon invested does someone have to be to go protest for the right to murder another 60 million babies?
It’s all one big DNC political ad.
Look at the protection that God provided for his children at this critical time. And YOU think you have some kind of right to kill?? Totally insane.
I just can’t stay mad at Norah. Wait! DELETE! DELETE!
OK, I admit it. I think Norah’s kinda easy on the eyes. But not easy enough that I would stomach her newscast. And there’s something about for all intents and purposes defending abortion, that makes even a beautiful woman ugly. It means there’s something twisted inside of her. Probably just the very common Me, Me, Me SELFishness.
“I have not seen one pro-life commentator out of all the ‘news’ channels or reports tonight.”
Have noticed the same thing. It’s why I’ve turned it off. Turned of hearing the statements of the immoral and the dumb, and the street antics of the brats and the freaks.
Not “Turned” but “Tired”.
How many fewer abortions across the country? No answer.
So I will guess that maybe 20 clinics will be closed. Total. Across the country.
What reduction in the total number of abortions? Less than 1%.
In case you want a glimpse at the demonic mindset on display at the Supreme Court today.
Exactly.
A woman that far along in a pregnancy doesn’t think she has a human being in her womb? What does she think “It” is? Sorry, but dumb, dumb, dumb.
“What reduction in the total number of abortions? Less than 1%.”
Don’t know where they get it from but have seen a couple of respectable Pro-Life leaders accept the number 120,000 as the number of lives that will be saved yearly if abortion is returned to the states according to an estimate. This would be about a 15% reduction from the current rate.
How?
Delay is a friend of life. The longer a woman continues a pregnancy, the less chance there is of her aborting. Some women will end up not traveling or plan to travel but delay and then change her mind. In some states where abortion is outlawed, some women will now first go to a crisis pregnancy center instead of a Planned Parenthood, saving lives. Restrictions save lives. It’s incredible the number of lives saved when women see an ultrasound. Or hear about the possible psychological consequences of abortion. Or its connection to internal injuries, infertility, and breast cancer. If yesterday’s decision saves one life it’s worth it. But a large football stadium plus or two average stadiums worth of infants a year. WOW!
all of these “journalists” seem biased
I’ll stick with the 1%. Don’t have a scientific explanation for it, but I suppose if we remember this and get back together in 5 years to review actual results we’ll see which estimate is closer.
Norah O'Donnell gets paid to lie and gets paid well to do it. It needs to be repeated over and over that there was NEVER a Constitutional right to kill pre-born children.
What if someone were to hang a sign around her neck “not human either” because if the unborn child is not human then neither is she.
Saw that pic earlier, I feel sorry for these liberal-raised children and their confusion to living in reality, if they even are born in the first place.
