Effing radical. Most of the rest of the world thinks you abortion purists here in the US are immoral and insane.

And I totally agree.

“another pathetic attempt by a power-hungry administration to subvert the power of the people’s voice in the General Assembly,”

“Wolf maintains that the state constitution explicitly recognizes a personal right to privacy including the right to terminate a pregnancy.”


I’m not a Pennsylvanian and have no idea if its constitution ‘explicitly recognizes...the right to terminate a pregnancy’. I highly doubt it, but so what? Is Wolf saying that that part of the state constitution cannot be amended?

And then there’s the question of the separation of powers thing. The executive branch trying to get the judicial branch to stop the legislative branch from passing laws.

Suing the legislature for doing its constitutional duty and letting the people vote on an issue?!

From the same people that tell you “democracy” is under attack?!

Hmmmm, I wonder if this “privacy” extends to such thugs as....oh, I don’t know.....maybe personal financial records?

So following the provision in the state constitution for amending the constitution is itself unconstitutional? How does that work?

Seems futile and useless and a waste of time. A governor suing his own legislature? He can veto the act if he doesn’t agree with it. And if he is then overridden by the legislature, well, too bad.

"...advanced without allowing all of those proposed amendments being voted separately."

And we all know that the stinking communist bastards would never resort to such political strategies...

It’s an AMENDMENT to the CONSTITUTION.

The people can change their constitution.

This governor is an idiot and has idiot lawyers advising him. But there may be judges that go along with this idiot logic.

I was wondering that too. Not sure he has standing or cause.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:12-15

To everyone going out of their way to champion abortion: repent now while there is still time. Do not expect that you can do the Devil’s works and not get the Devil’s pay.

It worries me that the Pennsylvania legislature included election reforms in a package with other measures because I believe that the Supremes are about to make legislature bills about elections become law without governors’ signatures.

The General Assembly is basically us, the citizens of Pennsylvania. So Wolf is suing the people.

I also notice that the state constitution authorizes the LEGISLATURE in creating congressional districts in Pennsylvania but that didn’t stop 6 Rat judges from usurping that authority and creating their OWN district maps!

The state constitution also outlines the rules for mail-in ballots but once again the Rat judges unilaterally made their own laws for counting fraud ballots, days before the election was held.

Now tell me, who is destroying democracy?

Wolf is more than a lame duck. He’s yesterday’s duck.

Mastriano is likely the next gov, and he has a list of things he wants to do.

Couldn’t Wolfbane just advocate against ratifying the Amendment, however that’s done in the state of Pennsylvania?

So Pharoah is suing the General Assembly, representing the legislative branch of state government, for following the law and attempting to pass a Constitutional amendment he doesn't like?

Nice...
