WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With new abortion cases on a fast track to the U.S. Supreme Court, the nine justices will get an opportunity within weeks to take up legal fights over Republican-backed laws that could lead to rulings curbing a woman’s ability to obtain the procedure. The big question is not so much whether the court, with its 5-4 conservative majority that includes two justices appointed by President Donald Trump, will take up an appeal that could permit new restrictions on abortion rights, but when it will do so, according to legal experts. The court’s new nine-month term starts on Oct. 7.

Killing babies is a sin and a crime. How did they ever come up with it as some kind of right?

Thus the reason for the new stink about Kavanaugh. They desperately fear a conservative majority will curtail their sacrifices to Moloch and he’ll be upset.

I think the conservative justices will not want to take up abortion until there is another conservative justice seated. They will not trust what Roberts will do (nor should they).

Sounds like a distraction from the natural born and ‘subject to foreign jurisdiction’ birthright issues that are being used to tear our country apart.

Supreme Court? What is so supreme about a blackmailed chief justice, a cancer-ridden octogenarian and two token women MAKING laws that affect all of us?

As to a right to kill, I can’t wait to see what trick little Johnny comes up with to justify it. Save the planet from overpopulation? Start of New Green Deal? Look for it.

Abortion the murder of innocent life is the Rosetta Stone of politics

Whether or not you support murdering innocent life defines you as a democrat or a republican

I hope the USSC supports reasonable commonsense abortion controls.

When the Supreme Court gets a case about abortion, they should remember that the Roe vs Wade decision violates the 10th and 11th Amendments to the Constitution, and is therefore wrongly decided. See the 10th and 11th Amendments below:

10th AMENDMENT

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

11TH AMENDMENT

The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
