Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Laments That Roe Abortion Case Activated a Pro-Life Movement

“Roe, she said, could serve as a lesson in how the judiciary is vulnerable to accusations that they lack accountability, and how perhaps more can be accomplished — and accomplished more calmly — incrementally, even in the social justice realm.

“’You give it to them softly,’ Ginsburg said. ‘And you build them up to what you want.’”

So, she thinks that unconstitutional judicial activism is just fine as long as it's done incrementally.

Okay. Who’s the wise guy that woke Ruthie up?

[Pecos]

Or, as long as the Left doesn’t get caught in the middle of raping the rest of us.

[Obadiah]

Man, Ginsburg is way too close to eternity to keep bragging about how good it is to murder children, albeit more discreetly.

[Morgana]

Laments? You are kidding!

Roe Abortion Case Activated a Pro-Life Movement...

I can only hope that, like Roe, having a Marxist Islamist (TM by Ø), Alinskyite as 'resident activates a sustained shift to Constitutional Conservatism.

[morphing libertarian]

Yeah, I guess we should all just shut up about the murder of millions of babies.

Roe helped the libertarians change their second, and successive platforms, to unrestricted abortion, zero restrictions or restraints.

In 1972 they had made the mistake of using the 100 day limit.

Being libertarians, they quickly caught their error though.

Newton’s Third Law applied to politics.

So, she thinks that unconstitutional judicial activism is just fine as long as it's done incrementally.

If you look at her votes there doesn't appear to be anything incremental about them. She would have voted with the majority at the time for Roe vs Wade.

I just hope she does not retire before Obama goes

“just fine as long as it’s done incrementally”

All progressive/liberals depend upon the “FROG IN THE POT”. Unfortunately, the grand majority of Americans are like frogs.

“The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually.”

[afraidfortherepublic]

The question is: will Justice Gindburg get a chance to explain her point of view to her Maker? Or, will she just go straight to H***?

[wagglebee]

She would have voted with the majority at the time for Roe vs Wade.

But probably written her own opinion about how ever Roe is too "restrictive" and that killing 4000 babies a day just isn't good enough.

I think it’s Judgement Seat,then on to your final zip code.

[cotton1706]

Well, golly gee, maybe if the people were “allowed” to resolve the issue on their own, through their legislatures, or acting as their own legislatures through the ballot box, such a movement would never had arisen. But Harry Blackmun was impatient!

[Boonie]

This ?woman? is extremely lucky that abortion wasn’t as common at the time of her conception....

[Usagi_yo]

” “the public would have reacted in a more positive way than it did,” as she told Jill Filipovic of Cosmopolitan this week.”

Or perhaps the little froggies won’t react at all.
