Amy Schumer echoed abortion activists’ worries about Roe v. Wade in light of President Donald Trump’s announcement of his next U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Schumer, an actress, comedian and cousin of pro-abortion Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, is an outspoken abortion advocate and supporter of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion group in America. On Instagram on Monday, Schumer urged the U.S. Senate to reject Trump’s then-yet-to-be-named nominee and “protect” Roe v. Wade, which allows women to abort their unborn babies for basically any reason up to birth, Breitbart reports. “#OneInFour women will have an abortion. I stand with...

Comedian Lizz Winstead’s vocabulary to describe Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh consisted of one main word: “F—.” On Monday night, President Trump announced his pick for new Supreme Court justice: federal judge Kavanaugh. The Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead took time out from a Janelle Monae concert to bash the new pick. Kavanaugh is “f—– up,” she began in a Facebook live video, and “it’s time we rally.” Then she turned to the media. “If you do not hear media people talking about the fact that this dude is literally the only candidate who had a vote on abortion,” she...

President Trump’s nomination of D.C. circuit court Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the seat on the United States Supreme Court vacated by Justice Anthony Kennedy may furnish the fifth vote needed to overrule Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that legalized abortion in every jurisdiction of the United States. Judge Kavanaugh is a textualist who is suspicious of the kind of judicial innovation that led to the court’s ruling in Roe. That decision removed a matter of grave moral concern—about which there was and remains no public moral consensus—from the democratic process. Reversing Roe will not make abortion...

Seconds after it was revealed that Donald Trump had selected Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his Supreme Court choice, MSNBC on Monday night immediately freaked out and deemed him an extreme“right-wing” “conservative.” Liberal MSNBC host Chris Hayes anchored the conversation just prior to Trump’s live announcement. He fretted: “This is a guy who cut his teeth on the Starr report. He has moved in conservative, right-wing legal circles for the entirety of his career.” A few seconds later, Hayes again warned that Kavanaugh “spent his life in conservative, right-wing legal circles.” MSNBC brought on Jess McIntosh of the liberal ShareBlue organization....

The hosts of ABC’s The View started off Tuesday show discussing what they thought about President Trump’s recent Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh. Surprisingly Joy Behar was really the only one to come out swinging against Trump’s nominee. Sunny Hostin, also an ABC legal analyst, cautiously remarked that he seemed like a moderate conservative so he was a better pick than some of his more conservative colleagues. “I think he’s a moderate conservative. He’s more in the vein of Neil Gorsuch. ….If you look at some of the decisions Judge Kavanaugh wrote on the D.C. Court of appeals some of...

Planned Parenthood launched a fierce attack on U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Monday night, claiming he would “wreak havoc” on abortion. With pro-abortion Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement, Kavanaugh could swing the court to a conservative majority and be a deciding opinion on vital issues like abortion restrictions and Roe v. Wade. Kavanaugh has served on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for D.C. for more than a decade, where he developed an extensive record of protecting religious liberty and enforcing restrictions on abortion. Pro-life leaders believe he would do the same on the Supreme Court. The abortion industry...

FULL TITLE: Pro-Life Groups Support Brett Kavanagh for Supreme Court: He Has a “Strong Record of Protecting Life” Pro-life leaders expressed strong hopes for U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who has a strong record of upholding religious liberties and restrictions on abortion. President Donald Trump announced Kavanaugh as his choice to fill retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy’s seat on Monday evening. Kavanaugh has served on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for D.C. for more than a decade, where he developed an extensive record of protecting religious liberty and free speech and enforcing restrictions on abortion. Pro-life leaders believe he...

FULL TITLE: Reporters Flee Supreme Court After Abortion Activists Get Violent: “It Got So Volatile We Didn’t Feel Safe” UPDATE, 11:56 p.m. Eastern: Bream repeatedly elaborated on her tweets during Fox News @ Night with the first coming while speaking to Nebraska Republican Senator Ben Sasse in the A-Block. Sasse pointed out that the interview was supposed to have taken place at the Court, but “it was a little loud out there” and Bream added that “it got a little too rowdy out there at the Court tonight.” “Last year, there were certainly protesters out there and there was definitely...

Ever since Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement from the Supreme Court, the left has been in hysterics over the very real possibility that Trump will appoint an originalist judge who will, you know, actually interpret the Constitution as it was meant to be interpreted. Their biggest fear is our greatest reason to rejoice: this paves the way to overturn Roe v. Wade. So leave it to someone like Michelle Wolf, the “comedienne” who faceplanted all over the White House Correspondent’s Dinner earlier this year in an attempt to be funny, demonstrating instead her hatred for Trump and everyone who...

Speaking of his faith, Mr. Carter said in his career as a politician he never ran across "any really serious conflicts between my political obligations and my religious faith." Asked about gay marriage, he replied that it is "no problem with me. I think everybody should have a right to get married regardless of their sex." Regarding whether he thinks Jesus would approve of gay marriage, Carter replied "I don’t have any verse in Scripture," but added, "I believe that Jesus would approve of gay marriage." "I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere...

Politics is a dirty business, but politicians usually avoid attacking charities supported by their own church. Not Steve Sisolak. Sisolak, a Democrat, has talked numerous times about his faith and is reportedly a “devout Catholic who goes to Mass every day.” Last week, Nevada Democrats put out a pro-abortion screed against Adam Laxalt, Sisolak’s Republican gubernatorial opponent. It viciously attacked First Choice Pregnancy Services, a crisis pregnancy center. Crisis pregnancy centers offer women free pregnancy-related services, such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and counseling to help expectant moms choose life. Nevada Democrats labeled First Choice a “fake clinic” that “coerces women...

On Sunday, Netflix aired a “Salute to Abortion,” hosted by “comedian” Michelle Wolf, who closed the segment with a star-spangled, flag-waving, drum corps declaration: “God bless abortion!” On her weekly Netflix program, “The Break with Michelle Wolf,” Wolf used Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s announced retirement to tout abortion rights and demean pro-life Americans, with “jokes” like: “And, I know, some people call themselves ‘pro-life’- but, ‘pro-life' is a propaganda term that isn’t real, like healthy ice cream and handsome testicles.”

Actor Kelsey Grammer explained why he is pro-life in an interview last week with the Times, calling out the abortion industry as “dishonest” for using the euphemism of “reproductive rights” to speak about abortion. Grammer told the Times he has “as much respect for women and women’s issues as possible,” but said that women’s rights are not what is at stake with abortion. It “gets a bit dishonest to call something reproductive rights when you clearly have a choice well before a baby is conceived,” Grammer noted, which is when reproduction actually happens. The 63-year-old actor known for his role...

#MAGA Pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage rally and prayer vigil at the White House! (12pm - until?)

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is receiving high praises from conservatives as President Donald Trump considers him for the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump is expected to soon name a replacement for retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, a swing vote on abortion rulings. His retirement means Trump will have the opportunity to appoint a second Supreme Court justice who could be a deciding vote in overturning Roe v. Wade and restoring protections for unborn babies in America. The president reportedly has narrowed down his list to four, including Kavanaugh, who has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit for the...

President Donald Trump is said to be down to his final three potential picks to replace pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Much of the pro-life focus has been on Judge Amy Barrett and leading pro-life advocates strongly support her as a potential nominee. But there is another potential nominee who is a reported finalist for the position who has very strong pro-life Bona fides and who one leading pro-life attorney says would be an excellent choice for the Supreme Court. That potential nominee is Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who sits on the DC Circuit Court. That is the main federal...

The last abortionist on the island of Guam has retired, leaving the island completely abortion free. There had only been two abortionists committing abortions on the island for decades; in 2016, the first abortionist, Dr. Edmund Griley, retired. Dr. John Chiu took over the facility, the Guam Poly Clinic, but does not commit abortions. That left just one remaining abortionist: Dr. William Freeman. Before retiring, Freeman committed abortions at the Women’s Clinic, and a doctor who worked under him, Dr. Jeffrey Gabel, has now taken over the facility. Unlike Freeman, Gabel refuses to commit abortions. The facility has also been...

**SNIP** While politicians consider whether or not they’d support a nominee who opposes the 1973 decision that legalized abortion, some women have a strategy to drum up support for a woman’s right to choose: the #Lysistrata2018 movement. Named after Aristophanes’s ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata, in which women refuse to sleep with their warring husbands until they agree to a truce, the movement is the brainchild of author and political journalist Jennifer Wright. In a tweet posted on Monday, Wright suggested that single women stop dating and having sex with men expressing anti-abortion views. Women could indicate their stance by adding...

During a Wednesday MSNBC panel about who Trump will choose to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, Roberts warned that any conservative judge will severely limit access to abortion and even jail women who have miscarriages or still births. Roberts complained that “black women, primarily” were prosecuted for using drugs during their pregnancies and added, “prosecutors [are] already putting women in jail for still births, for miscarriages, and for botched abortions.” “It’s a very thin line between putting a woman in prison for a still birth or a miscarriage that she’s blamed for, for something she did during her pregnancy, and criminalizing...
