Today the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about a law in Louisiana that requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges to local hospitals.
Pro-life proponents of the law, which is sponsored by Democratic Louisiana State Senator Katrina Jackson, argue this requirement protects women with emergency medical care in case of abortion complications. Pro-abortion advocates argue the law is simply a way to make it more difficult for women seeking abortions to obtain them from providers.
More on Jackson from Fox News:
As a pro-life Democrat, Louisiana State Sen. Katrina Jackson isn’t an anomaly in her home state, but she is in Washington, D.C. And she wants to change that.
Jackson will be in the nation’s capital Wednesday, when the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on why her abortion clinic regulations – requiring that doctors who perform the procedure have admitting privileges at local hospitals – should pass constitutional muster. Her bill, she argued, should unify Democrats and Republicans behind a common interest in protecting women.
“It’s really a pro-women’s health bill because I’m not going to ignore those women,” she told Fox News during an exclusive interview in January. “I’m not going to ignore their health care needs.”
This is the first abortion case since new Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, both nominated by President Trump, were confirmed by the Senate.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer attended a Planned Parenthood rally outside of the Court this afternoon and openly threatened Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Over what? It's unclear.
Schumer: “I want to tell you Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch: You have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price.”— Alexandra DeSanctis (@xan_desanctis) March 4, 2020
Dear @SenSchumer:
Are you really threatening 2 Supreme Court justices before they rule on a case?
How will they “pay the price”?
What does this even mean?
If the Republican Senate leader did this = Scandal.
But, of course, most of the media will give Schumer a pass on this. https://t.co/68sE03WPyf— Mike Davis (@mrddmia) March 4, 2020
Keep in mind Planned Parenthood receives more than $500 million in taxpayer funding each year.
The decision on this case will be released in June.
Who protects the folks on the SCOTUS as they should be warned and take appropriate action:-)
Mountain/Molehill.
Chuck You Schumer
Schumer should relax. Roberts will probably rule with the libs to continue the baby killing.
The minute Dems regain control of both Houses + POTUS they are going to expand SCOTUS to 15 justices and pack it. Count on it.
Not if Trump beats them to it in his Second Term.......
Yep, it is a TAX after all.
These Liberals shoot off their mouths so much any more. They don’t realize what they are doing.
They all watch TOOOOOO much TV-they all talk like pulp fiction jerks
Let's substitute "colonoscopy providers" for "abortion doctors" or any other medical procedure which carries a similar degree of risk.
Would such a law even make it to the supreme court?
It would be unlikely to make it even out of a state court because patient safety would be considered paramount.
But, somehow, abortion is such a sacred sacrament of the left that patient safety has to take a back seat. Go figure.
But it's OK to limit the number of rounds per magazine...
Dems protect abortion because they are dependent on the votes and money they get from militant feminazis.
53% of the public believes that abortion should be legal in some circumstances. Maybe like a fifth of voters believe it should be illegal under all circumstances. If the Supreme Court makes it illegal to obtain an abortion or if GOP fingerprints are on any such effort, yeah, the justices, Trump, and the party absolutely will face what Schumer says without him lifting a finger. It’s not a threat (although Schumer wishes he had the power to punish people like that), it is instead a prediction.
Just a reminded that “Shumer” means “scum” in Yiddish.
It’s a surname that was given to wandering drunk con men by their fellow Jews.
A relevant nature vs. nurture debate should ensue.
Dont grasp defeat from the jaws of victory by backing the will of 20% of the voters. I believe that is a lesson the Democrats are grappling with right now. A hardline and overly ideological stand on abortion would be an answer to Democrat prayers.
It’s not a threat, it’s just a fact.
Like they did to Antonin Scalia, Cuckie Schroomer?
So what is Schumer going to do? Impeach, as in Earl Warren? How did that work out?
Does Schumer have some info to cause another Abe Fortias resignation?
Or something worse to cause the Justices to commit “suicide” with several rifle bullets to the stomach as in the old Billie Sol Estes scandal from years ago?
Is Roberts going to say anything? After all he broke precedent and publicly ripped into the President for pointing out there were Obama judges. So does he say anything when a US Senator threatens two SC Justices. I’m guessing not.
How many children would it be morally correct to murder each year to mollify the Democrats’ financial backers?
