He’s just jerking off.
Must be an election year.
its a bit hard to believe that anybody representing the state of Utah could be against this bill
Just Lindsay trying to re-establish his “cred” before 2014, I think.
Remember these same republicans tell us if you don’t have the votes don’t bother to fight it. He know he doesn’t have the vote, what is he trying to pull here? Pretend to fight for something he know that will never pass
How long has he been in the senate? He could have proposed this when there were more votes, when there was a more vaforable scotus, and when there was a “pro-life” president. Why now? Oh I know.
No, its all for show.
The Commerce Clause issue is a genuine one. Just as there’s no Commerce Clause ground for homicide statutes generally, there’s no Commerce Clause ground for federal anti-abortion statutes. There’s may be a 14th Amendment ground for a federal anti-abortion statute - as a deprivation of life without due process - but only in the minority of cases in which the state itself is implicated in the abortion (e.g., administered by government doctors in a government hospital).
To be wary of federal anti-abortion statutes is not to be pro-abortion, any more than those wary of federal anti-rape and federal anti-homicide statutes are advocates of rape and murder.
Perfect timing after it was released last week that his approval numbers are in free fall. I wondered what he would do to look less liberal.
As it was prior to Roe v. Wade, abortion is a state matter.
Yeah? Let’s see him shut down the government to get it. What a clown.
Immoral. Unconstitutional.
These RINOs are so transparent.
Unless Lindsay gets a doppelganger to replace Harry Reid when he introduces the Bill it won’t make it past Reid’s Paper Shredder.
I think this is a cry for help from poor Lindsay.
Well, it is now less than 60 days before the arrival of the 2014 election year—time for Little Lindsey to pretend that he is a true conservative.
Sorry Lindsey, we’re not buying a single bit of it. You’re going down to defeat in 2014.
"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."
"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." - the Fourteenth Amendment
I wonder if the Senator thinks it would be alright to pass a "law" that allowed someone to put a bullet in the heart of a paraplegic. After all, they wouldn't feel a thing, right?
Would he consider a "law" that allowed someone to kill Grandma if they gave her enough morphine first moral or constitutional? I mean, come on, she won't feel a thing.
Well it’s going to go nowhere, and you damn well know it, Linda, you phony a$$ lying twerp.
Nobody is buying GOP bullsh!t anymore.
How cute - Linda’s pretending to be a conservative.
This is the oldest trick in the Republican book. Introduce something that sounds super-conservative like a flag-burning amendment or abortion ban just before election season so the rubes back home will think he’s on their side.
These idiots think it will still work. I’ve got news for them: it ain’t 1988 anymore.

Pathetic
