Pretend Pro-Life Congressman Stops Pretending
Creative Minority Report ^ | January 29, 2015 | MATTHEW ARCHBOLD

Posted on 01/29/2015 1:49:40 PM PST by NYer

Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan has pretended to be a pro-life Catholic for years but now he says that talking to women helped change his mind into becoming pro-choice. This, of course, is malarkey. I don't understand how talking to anyone could convince anyone that a baby is not a human being.

I'm thinking he wanted to cash those fat checks from EMILY's List and Planned Parenthood. Hey, baby killers' checks don't bounce.

He wrote in an op-ed, "These women gave me a better understanding of how complex and difficult certain situations can become. And while there are people of good conscience on both sides of this argument, one thing has become abundantly clear to me: the heavy hand of government must not make this decision for women and families."

Right the heavy hand of government is much better off telling you what health insurance you should have, what kind of toilet you should have, or what kind of light bulbs you should have.

He added, “each and every American deserves the right to deal with these difficult situations in consultation with their families, close friends, or religious advisers.”

Douglas Johnson of National Right to Life Committee, has called Ryan a “pro-life impersonator” and notes he’s never consistently voted pro-life and that he’s voted “against” pro-lifers more than he has for them throughout his time in office.

Guy was a poser from the get go. Now at least he's honest. He's a pro-abortion Democrat. Hey Cecile Richards, send checks.

Especially, as Ryan cannot hear both sides of the story. He only hears the abortive woman's side.

Maybe the rule to bring away from this article is not to talk to women. /s

Is Congressman Tim Ryan pretending to be a Catholic too?

Dear Mr. Time Ryan,
Pro Choice is not God's choice.

Genesis 1

English Standard Version (ESV)

26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Something in the water inside the Beltway. It just magically turns good, clean guys and gals into destructive devises.

I think that when a freshman gets to DC, the big boys club shows him/her how it’s going to be, complete with script and all. If you don’t play by the big boys’ rules, you will “self” destruct.

Then we have our standouts, and I’m suspicious their parts are scripted too, to throw us a bone every now and then. Something to slow down the march to a One World Order for a short time to pacify the anxious. Very dramatical all this.

Or I could just be paranoid.

Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan has pretended >>>

How could he “pretend” when his record has been pro-abortion since about 2007? It looks as though for his first term he voted primarily pro-life, then from 2007 - today, he’s been primarily voting pro-abortion.

I don’t even know why this article was written.

And since the South Dakota incident, I am wondering why any pro-lifer would think the NRLC is pro-life. But then again everyone is gullible.
