This a no-joking PING
Please let me know if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
“I'm against abortion, personally, but I feel like it's a woman's choice” EQUALS “I'm against the Nazi Holocaust, personally, but I feel like it's Hitler's choice,”
Crazy or not....
Forget the illegal immigrant issue.
Wasn't the unborn just declared a legal citizen?
Hence, legally defining abortion as murder? By the Judge?

Many people hide behind "I'm against abortion personally." But if they are against it, why are they against it? Essentially, they are saying that a mother has a right to murder her own child. I will never understand that position. It is a souless and gutless position.
Is this on DU anywhere? I would love to see their reaction to a fetus being ruled a citizen, entitled to all constitutional rights.
Pure, undiluted insanity.
"Last year he blocked a Missouri law that required a 24-hour waiting period before someone could get an abortion."
You know, something just hit me. He ruled that waiting periods for abortions somehow goes against law and the "right" of a woman to have an abortion, a right which by the way is not mentioned in the Constitution. Yet, there appears to be no problem with making people waiting days (and sometimes weeks) to buy handguns, a right which is specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Absolutely amazing.

JustDamn! ping
That reading of the Constitution goes against the plain wording of the Constitution itself.The Constitution does not define life but clearly says that people born in the United States are citizens. It does not say that people conceived in the United States or carried in their mothers' bellies into the United States are citizens. I do not argue that, in this circumstance the mother should have been deported , but surely other reasons could have been found that do not do violence to the Constitution and neither would I think the mother or baby has been done a great wrong if she is deported.
Missouri Judge Blocks Deportation of Illegal Immigrant
I'll buy that.
BUMP
How come a woman has the right to decide to kill her child and I dont have the right to decide whether or not I wear a seat belt?
Opinions from lawers please.
Rep. Ed Emery attacks judicial activism by: e-emery

We took a step closer this week to stopping judges who want to legislate from the bench. We also took a step forward to protect marriage from those who would pervert and destroy it as an institution. These steps are closely related. They are both designed to protect us and our families from judicial activism.
I presented House Resolution 263 to the House Rules committee on yesterday. HR 263 is a resolution from the Missouri House of Representatives to the United States Congress requesting that Federal Judge Scott O. Wright be investigated and impeached for violation of his Constitutional responsibilities. Author and national speaker, Bill Federer, testified in support of the resolution. If the committee agrees that Judge Wright should be investigated, then the entire House of Representatives will vote. That vote could send the resolution to Washington to request the U.S. House Judiciary committee to initiate a Congressional investigation. I am convinced that if investigated, Judge Wright will be impeached.
The second success this week was when the House voted 128 to 20 in favor of a constitutional amendment to secure the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The proposed amendment is now subject to a vote of the people, who will decide whether it will become part of Missouri’s Constitution.
Our State law already forbids same sex marriages, so why amend the Constitution? The answer is to defend marriage from activist judges like Judge Scott O. Wright. Without this amendment, a single activist judge could unilaterally declare our law unconstitutional and legislate sodomite marriage “from the bench.”
We are living in perilous but exciting times. There is nothing more critical to our nation or to our state than the fundamental institutions of Family and Government. The choices we make today are determining our future success or failure. That is why your prayers and involvement are essential.
Editorial comment:
Judge Wright was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri in 1979. Emery's measure cites Wright's 1999 decision blocking enforcement of a new Missouri law banning a procedure that opponents call "partial-birth abortion" and doctors call "intact dilation and extraction." The resolution also cites a temporary injunction Wright issued last year blocking a state law that requires a 24-hour waiting period before having an abortion.
The House took no action on Emery's resolution.

Even worse is how this judge is completely willing to say that an unborn child is a US citizen and protected by the Constitution yet it is still legal to kill it if it's mother gets a fleeting notion to do so.
IMO , one has nothing to do with the other and the judge is talking out both sides of his mouth. To me, it seems he is pro-abortion and anti immigration and is using the baby to fight deportation. My question would be that if the mother who is allowed to stay in the states to protect this citizen decides she wants an abortion, will this judge rule for the child?
Judge Scott Wright is wrong. He's truly a crazy man, belongs to the Judges' Hall of Shame. Next he won't deport someone because his sperm were formed in this country.
By keeping her in the country, this judge is guaranteeing the baby will be born in the United States. Frankly, I think the judge screwed up.
