Good optics, will go nowhere, but we have to adopt the opposition’s tactic of pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing.
Obama will veto it and Congress won’t have the castanas to override it. As you can tell, I have no faith in our Congress.
Check out photos from The March for Life. It’s not 60 year old Knights of Columbus. It’s 20 something year old women.
I caught some photos from 2014 march for life from federalist.com and priests for life group—so many youth, and children
Few things more honorable these days than the pro-life female.
Kabuki-buki.
Cheeto Boner rides again.
Immoral, unconstitutional legislation.
This is great and all, but even if this bill got passed the very first judge that took up the case would undo it all.
“Immoral, unconstitutional legislation.”
Not this [crap] again.
By all means, let’s keep abortion legal until the 38th week of gestation. Surely it’s better to make those 20-38 babies martyrs to the cause instead of saving them, not to mention how a 20-week ban would help chip away at Roe v. Wade.
For six years, Bush had a Republican congress. At any time, they could have removed abortion from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. They didn’t do it.
Roe v. Wade itself says that if Congress finds that the unborn baby is “a person within the meaning of the 14th Amendment, appellant’s case collapses.” They have never done it.
It’s time to say that Republicans will not do anything to stop abortion. They merely nibble at it.
It doesn’t “chip away at Roe.” It actually reinforces the main lying premise of Roe, which is that the pre-born child is not a person.
Because, if it is a person - which any sane individual knows is the case - the Constitution absolutely requires equal protection.
Even the Roe judges admitted as much, in their infamous decision.
In fact, immoral, unconstitutional, lawless laws like this actually assure the continuation of abortion on demand. Why? Because they completely surrender the only two real moral, constitutional, and legal arguments against abortion, that being the God-given, inalienable, intrinsic nature of the individual right to life, and the absolute requirement that all persons be provided equal protection before the law, first and foremost in their supreme God-given right.
They're not going to do more than nibble at it because the American people don't want them to do anything more than nibble at it. It's the same reason Democrats don't substantive on gun control when they're in power. Toss a few bones to a small but vocal constituency and pass a few "feel good, do nothing" bills to shut them up for a little bit.
While I understand that absolute pro-life is the default position on this forum, the truth is that outside of Free Republic, it is a little more complicated, with the majority of Americans supporting limits on abortion, --but not an outright ban.
When hearts and minds are changed on the issue, politicians will follow suit.
Q:Why didn't the GOP do this when they controlled both houses of Congress and the presidency?
A: Because they are the same party as the Democrats and Bush is a NWO zombie.
I'm pretty sure they can overcome a Senate Filibuster.
Of course, the courts would stop any implementation, but it would be progress nonetheless.
I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who is uncomfortable with this.
It seems that this stops like 15% of abortions, but this makes it much harder to stop the other 85%.
The unborn are still human before 20 weeks. But how can this be argued with any effectiveness after this legislation defines life by viability?
There are lots of us who have this immoral scam figured out.
