Schumer: ‘Generations Yet Unborn Will Suffer the Consequences' of Amy Coney Barrett's Confirmation

CNSNews.com – “Generations yet unborn will suffer the consequences” of Amy Coney Barrett’s elevation to the Supreme Court, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor, shortly before a majority voted on Monday to confirm the pro-life, conservative judge onto the bench.

Schumer was not likely thinking of unborn babies in the womb; his next sentence began with an allusion to climate change. But the same sentence also included a reference to abortion, as he lamented what he described as “reactionary state legislatures curtail[ing] a woman’s right to choose.”

Now-Justice Barrett said at her swearing-in ceremony on Monday night that she would carry out her duties “independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences,” saying that “a judge declares independence, not only from Congress and the president, but also from the private beliefs that might otherwise move her.”

But Schumer in his remarks said Barrett on the bench “very well might” give the Supreme Court a majority to restrict Roe. v. Wade, the court’s 1973 decision that legalized abortion.

“Republicans would never dare to attempt to repeal Roe v. Wade in Congress, so they pass onerous laws in state legislatures, that they control, to drive that right to point of near extinction, and then provoke the Supreme Court to review Roe v. Wade,” he said.

“The far-right has never held a majority on the Court to limit Roe v. Wade or Griswold [v. Connecticut]” – the 1965 ruling that established the legal foundation leading to Roe v. Wage eight years later.

“But if Judge Barrett becomes Justice Barrett – it very well might.”

As he wrapped up his 20-minute speech, Schumer said, “Here at this late hour, at the end of this sordid chapter in the history of the Senate, the history of the Supreme Court, my deepest and greatest sadness is for the American people.”

“Generations yet unborn will suffer the consequences of this nomination,” he said. “As the globe gets warmer, as workers continue to fall behind, as unlimited, dark money floods our politics, as reactionary state legislatures curtail a woman’s right to choose, gerrymander districts, and limit the rights of minorities to vote, my deepest, greatest, and most abiding sadness tonight is for the American people, and what this nomination to the Supreme Court will mean for their lives, their freedoms, their fundamental rights.”

With Schumer as minority leader, all but three Senate Democrats in February last year voted to block legislation requiring a baby born alive during a botched abortion to receive the same level of care given to any other newborn.

“The bill is solely meant to intimidate doctors and restrict patients’ access to care and has nothing, nothing, nothing to do with protecting children,” Schumer said during that debate.

Exactly a year later, Senate Democrats again voted to block the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. As they did, Schumer once again derided the bill, calling it “anti-choice, anti-women, anti-family,” and accusing the Republican leadership of bringing it to the floor “to pander to the hard right.”

During her confirmation hearings, Barrett was questioned about her pro-life views. She declined when pressed on particular issues to say how she would rule as a justice on matters that may come before her on the court.

In an op-ed earlier this month, Students for Life of America president Kristan Hawkins pointed out that at least three Supreme Court justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “made no secret of their views on abortion before their nominations and confirmations,” and provided details in each case.

After Monday’s vote to confirm President Trump’s nominee, Hawkins said that Barrett “inspires the pro-life generation with her story of rising to the top of her profession while embracing home and family.”

“The abortion mentality that forces a civil war into women’s lives between their careers and relationships must be confronted with the stories of women who embraced both, and Judge Amy continues to do just that,” she said. “Women don’t need abortion to succeed.”

Yes...perhaps they will no longer be the “Unborn” they may be the “Born Alive” and will someday be subject to the suffering and horror of having to listen to Major Merde politicians like Chuck Schmearmore and Nanny Pelosi

Yes they will pay the consequences of being born alive and allowed to laugh, play, enjoy , excel, and of course failure. All of these combine to make life truly enjoyable

Schumer and co. wants to kill unborn and recently born because the baby might be unhappy or will be an inconvenience to the mother.

They will have to suffer the consequence of being born.

To his mind a fate worse than death.

Talk about hypocritical

***his next sentence began with an allusion to climate change.***
He needs to look at a current weather map. Ice and snow all across the High Plains. We usually don’t get this till around the end of November.

So where is this “climate change” he is bawling about?

I had to look to see if this was a Babylon Bee post before I read it. Generations yet unborn? By the way this could very well be the “last generation” before Jesus comes for His Church. America has turned it’s back on God. Not setting any dates. . .but be ready folks. It’s either heaven or hell. God or Satan. . .no in between’s and it is solely our choice. https://www.patburt.com/

The sickening quote speaks for itself. This is who they are. DEATH is a cornerstone of the liberal mantra.

“Generations yet unborn will suffer the consequences” of Amy Coney Barrett’s elevation to the Supreme Court,

Well that is classic idocratic double speak.

Generations have never been born because of a liberal policies that chuckie supports.
