Pro-life congressmen stood in front of the Capitol — along with Janet Porter, the Ohio woman who led the fight for passage of that state’s “heartbeat bill” — all in support of Rep. Steve A. King (R.-Iowa) and his Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017, H.R. 490, which restores legal protection to unborn children once their pulse is detected. “It is a profound religious and moral understanding that every human person has the right to life,” said King, who was joined by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R.-Texas), Rep. Trent Franks (R.-Ariz.), Rep. Scott G. Perry (R.-Pa.), and Rep.Don Bacon R.-Neb.), along with other prolife supporters of the bill.

“Roe versus Wade was court-ordered DE-REGULATION of state-licensed medical doctors, putting them above the law, with license arguably to kill innocent life. Formerly, abortion was a violation of the Hippocratic Oath, which is not of Christian origin, so Republicans have standing on higher ground about this, without having to make this a matter of religious faith & being called “anti-science”.

Licensing is a form of regulation & normally Democrats support regulation. Democrats also normally do NOT consider what licensed medical doctors do to be above the law. They have lawyers suing doctors over malpractice every day...and doctors also may be jailed & lose their medical license over everything EXCEPT abortion, which is often the most controversial thing that doctors do.

If you pass a bill at the state level to take away the medical license of a medical doctor who performs an abortion on a healthy woman carrying a healthy fetus, it would make it really difficult to turn regulation of medical doctors into a matter of women’s “right to privacy” and “reproductive rights”, moreover, what would male equal right to privacy & reproductive rights look like???? If life does NOT begin at conception, why are men made to pay for the babies of unwed mothers & have their privacy invaded & have to prove they are NOT the father, based on the word of an unwed mother, who doesn’t even have a marriage contract for government to enforce? Isn’t this a Big Government version of a “shotgun wedding” to grant unwed mothers standing to sue for child support & be granted the right to violate the privacy & property rights of men? Courts can order people to pay without due process of law, even though bills of attainder are forbidden by the Constitution?

Perhaps GOP should start moving in the right direction by first passing a “right to privacy & reproductive rights for men” act to expose the hypocrisy & hate of feminism & prejudice of the law against males.
Democrats claim that the Constitution does not depend on originalism, but is a “living document”, but out of the other side of their mouths, the Patrick Leahys and Chuck Schumers argue that its fine to overturn GOP court decisions & long-standing customs & understandings——or even for the Supreme Court to pass illegal constitutional amendments, ie same sex marriage court order———but when it comes to new liberal court decisions, they declare “stare decisis” and tell us we cannot reconsider past court decisions that liberal like-—as if they are cast in stone by God.
Roe v Wade was based on the idea of small government with limited power. But the recent Supreme Court “Obamacare” decision granted the government huge infringements on property, liberty & privacy and sweeping new regulatory powers of government over healthcare, patients, doctors and hospitals—even to the point of forcing citizens to trade their property for a high priced insurance product or else face fines.
It therefore is true that both the Obamacare decision AND the Ginsburg 1990s “doctor-assisted suicide” decision may be used as new precedents to our “living” Constitution by which to overturn Roe versus Wade. Democrats and the press and the feminists may not, cannot have it both ways, anymore.
and perhaps it also violates “equal protection” to have more than one tax rate-—or to make laws that apply only to arbitrarily defined “small “ business or “big “ business.-—”

this was written by a friend of mine...and therefore, it is put into quotes. I was wondering what Freepers think about this blog. I didn’t write this, although am very much against any right to kill an innocent baby—B.9

H.R. 490, which restores legal protection to unborn preborn children once their pulse is detected

A better term.
