Gotta say, and I understand we have a lot of pro-life Freepers, I agree with this young lady. Government has a role to play but regulating social issues is where it fails miserably. That includes allowing Gays and Trans to serve in the Armed Forces.

On the pro-life/pro-choice issue; our elected congress should decide if that's a federal issue or a states issue then vote accordingly. Another option is a compromise that keeps showing up; the 20 week rule.

This is not the time to over step. Play it smart and we will keep winning for another 6+ years.

I liked President Trump's statement that he didn't even know if he was going to ask a potential nominee about abortion.

Personally, I'm more concerned with where they stand on the 1st, 2nd, and 10th Amendments.

I agree with Tomi. Whatever women do with their baby, let God judge. Not us. Conservatives need to stop talking about gay marriage and abortion. It’s not going to convert new votes. Focus on crime, race, jobs, immigration, inner city schools.

Isn’t mostly Democrats talking about overturning Roe V. Wade?

Roe v Wade is bad “law”

It is a “social issue” forced down the throats of Americans by five unelected goons in black robes

The same for “gay marriage”

It needs to end.

+++++

We lose when we start messing with social issues.

Unless the mother’s life is in jeopardy, abortion is murder with one of the cruelest and most selfish of motives....convenience. Can’t find a right to “convenience killings” in the 1st amendment.

Headline from 1950: “Overturning Plessy vs. Ferguson would be a big mistake.”

If it is so controversial, then put it back where it was originally, and then leave it alone. The govey regulated social issues to give us this ruling, so then reverse it and leave it alone.

Tomi,

Quit your whining.

Its not like Trump sets the courts agenda to ask them to rule on a particular issue.

It is unlikely that anything would come up during Trump's term to put this on their plate.

Even if they did overturn it, it would still be up to each state to rule on.

This is largely a Dem fundraising ploy.

Quinnipiac surveys on that issue are skewed by subjectively motivated methods. Allowing yourselves to be manipulated by an obscenely noisy 2% of the population is foolish. So is believing that a large portion of our nation supports such unhealthy and disgusting activities being shoved in the face of America.

At what age do you grant rights? Why do you get to decide? This country was founded on the basis that The Creator has given rights equally to all? You don’t believe in equal rights, you believe in rights, whenever someone decides.
This practice started the roll down the slippery slope and we are at the edge of atheistic dark ages, again. The belief that survival of the fittest means consumption of the weakest, innocent.
Those beliefs are one hundred percent opposite the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the historic struggle of the settlers and founders. The Creator granted rights equally to all.. there is no age in any founding documents.
Barbarism.

If it gets overturned, then it gets overturned. I don’t really care.

If you want something to be a Constituionally protected right, then amend the Constitution.

She does not make any sense.

Conservatives are not all one way or the other. There are many pro-life groups.

Does she want all of them to stop their pro-life efforts because of her political analysis?

Roe v. Wade is a bad court decision. What happens is not up to “conservatives” as a group, but what happens when more originalist and textualists justices go to the Supreme Court.

It is stupid to play the Progressive game of making the Court a super-legislature.

Let’s just put a good orginalist (like Scalia’s former clerk Amy Barrett) on the court and let things take care of themselves.

Tomi Lahren: Pushing to Overturn Roe v. Wade Would Be a ‘Big Mistake’

This is a stupid argument. The supreme Court will not arbitrarily select ANY subject to rule on. It has to be brought before them.

"Tomi Lahren: Pushing to Overturn Roe v. Wade Would Be a 'Big Mistake'"

That's not the issue anyway. It's a red herring. There's one candidate for nomination with a record of a decision involving abortion. He opposed government funding for an abortion involving an illegal immigrant. There's nothing about overturning Roe v. Wade in his history.

We don't need to be paying for that with big government funding. We don't need to be paying for unhealthy civilian social experiments that put our national defense at risk, either.

Roberts won’t take abortion cases, so this may be a lot to do about very little.

Many Americans are against abortion as contraception.

There will never be an outright ban, but it may be constricted.

It is a human life! And that’s why they can sell their body parts and buy a Lamborghini.

The author states that she is proAbortion.

“We lose when we mess with social issues”

Exact whom does she mean by “We”?

I’d prefer the actual politicians not to mention it in their campaigns..Just let the overturn happen on its own, eventually once we get this judge and hopefully another one, somebody will bring a case to SCOTUS and it will be overturned. Likely not long from now. But lets not push it publicly, still need the wobbly suburban women to keep voting with us for now.
