"The four justices who either are Protestant or Jewish all voted in accord with settled precedent. It is mortifying to have to point this out. But it is too obvious, and too telling to ignore."

That takes a lot of gaul. I suppose the only solution is to have nothing but atheists on the Supreme Court? Oh, it's another "educator" flapping at the mouth? Nevermind.

Stone said it was "sad" that the justices in the majority had "failed to respect the fundamental difference between religious belief and morality."

He and every member of his immediate and extended family should be eternally mortified by this imbecilic statement. ?

There goes any chance Roberts had for being reelected.

Rosie, have a steaming hot cup of STFU and just go away you fat, lezbo pig. It's a crying shame her parents didn't abort her.

"You know what concerns me?" O'Donnell asked last week on ABC's "The View."

How many triple-meat hoagies you can cram sideways into your great, cavernous maw at once, perhaps? Stamp your hoof twice if I'm getting warm, dear.

Wow, that old Catholic allegiance to the Constitution and not some fantasy of a belief of what the Constitution might mean is disgraceful.

Silly me, and to think all my life I have had that misguided thought that religous beliefs and faith in God actually had anything to do with morality.

Liberals never cease to amaze me with their twised logic.

>>How many Supreme Court judges are Catholic?... “Five,” O’Donnell said. “How about separation of church and state in America?” <<

Isn’t it amazing how we have a high school graduate lecturing us on constitutional law? And ostensibly, one of Irish descent, as well.

I’d personally love to goad this woman. I think she’d explode.

Well, I certainly HOPE that the five Catholic justices voted their religion on abortion, and will continue to do so again and again and again.

In fact, I hope they vote their religion on a whole passel of issues, ranging from gay marriage and fetal stem-cell research to euthanasia of the elderly.

Catholicism is the most stringent pro-life institution on the planet. Five life-appointed Catholic Supreme Court justices who follow their consciences and take their moral instructions from Rome would get us precisely where we ought to be on a variety of very evil issues.

Let’s go for six Catholics on the Supreme Court!

So her fatness thinks that no one of religious beliefs should ever hold a Government Position?

"If men could get pregnant," O'Donnell said, "abortion would be a sacrament."
Sadly, that's probably true, however since when did two wrongs make a right. Does her fatness also understand how many abortions happen because a father or boyfriend coerce the woman into getting a pregnancy "taken care of" and in some cases destroying the only evidence of a crime (rape/incest)? Man are already making that choice a good portion of the time. Wouldn't the feminist thing to do be stopping an act that gives far too many men control over a women?

You mean the kind, tolerant, loving Leftists are exhibiting prejudice and hatred towards another group of people and their beliefs? Say it ain’t so!

From an usccb.org article:

In 1970, Nobel Prize winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn observed:

“Let us not forget that violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying. Between them there is the closest, the most profound and natural bond: nothing screens violence except lies, and the only way lies can hold out is by violence.”

The more odious the violence, the greater the deceit is needed to justify it. Therefore, the defense of partial-birth abortion has required an inexhaustible store of lies.

47+ MILLION Children have been dismembered while alive since Roe.


1973 United States Supreme Court

“The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.”
C. S. Lewis

Note that the only two who voted against the majority in Roe v Wade (against MURDERING babies) are on the right side of the photo. Rehnquist standing and White seated.

“Blackmun invented a right to abortion....Roe had nothing whatever to do with constitutional interpretation. The utter emptiness of the opinion has been demonstrated time and again, but that, too, is irrelevant. The decision and its later reaffirmations simply enforce the cultural prejudices of a particular class in American society, nothing more and nothing less. For that reason, Roe is impervious to logical or historical argument; it is what some people, including a majority of the Justices, want, and that is that.

Roe should be overruled and the issue of abortion returned to the moral sense and the democratic choice of the American people. Abortions are killings by private persons. Science and rational demonstration prove that a human exists from the moment of conception. Scalia is quite right that the Constitution has nothing to say about abortion.

Sadly abortion IS a “sacrament” to the femi-nazi CULTure of death.

Kennedy emphasized in the decision that the justices were interpreting a federal law that would not prevent any abortions. Congress concluded the partial-birth procedure was never medically necessary, because other procedures were available to doctors performing abortions.

I thought this was the crux of the SCOTUS decision. The law prohibited one gruesome procedure and that the lawsuit seeking to overturn the partial birth abortion law didn't involve any cases where any mother's life was in jeopardy, hence was not medically necessary. The only way this law could get overturned at SCOTUS is if a woman did require this particular procedure for medical reasons to save her life and no other procedure could be performed. Therefore this law caused her harm. That being said, since there has never been such a precident in medical history, there will likely never be such a SCOTUS case and this law will stand. Partial birth abortion is gone for good :)

That takes a lot of gaul...

All Gaul is divided into three parts...atheists, secularists, and ignoramuses.

How does someone with a name like O'Donnell turn out to be such an anti-Catholic fanatic? Presumably her ancestors were Irish Catholics...did she used to be one herself?

The Constitution is suspect, since one of the signers was a Catholic (Danl. Carroll of Maryland).

What it means when a man says, "It's the woman's right to choose".

The woman sees she's made a huge mistake and was too drunk.

The man says, "Well if you have to abort it, I guess you have to."

Thinks to himself, "Whew, that was close!"

That about right?

“The Supreme Court’s landmark abortion ruling last week has triggered an anti-Catholic backlash, with critics pointing to the Catholic faith of the five justices in the majority and suggesting their religious views influenced their decision in the case. “

Morons. Evangelical and fundamentalist Protestants and Orthodox Jews oppose abortion also. So do Orthodox Christians.

My guess is the two “Jewish” justices who voted for it are secular cultural Jews rather than religious Jews.

Rosie’s comment was crude and stupid (not to mention very unoriginal). However, I do think it’s reasonable for people to be concerned about a Catholic majority on the court when 1) this doesn’t reflect the religious make-up of the country, and 2) The Catholic Church is fond of issuing pronouncements telling politicial figures that as Catholics they are obligated to vote in accordance with the Church’s teachings, especially on this topic. Same would hold for any other religion: a one-religions majority on the court is somewhat problematic if it’s not reflective of the country’s religious make-up, and even more problematic if the religion in question officially teaches that political figures are obligated to vote in accordance with its teachings.
