Obama, Davis Ask Supreme Court to Reject Texas Abortion Law
KUT-FM ^ | January 5, 2016 | Alex Ura, The Texas Tribune

From the Texas Tribune: Intervening in what could be a landmark decision, the Obama Administration, state and federal lawmakers and medical experts asked the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to overturn Texas' 2013 abortion law, which could shut down about half of the state's 19 remaining abortion clinics.

In 45 amicus briefs filed to the Supreme Court, opponents of the Texas abortion law known as House Bill 2 argued that restrictions under the law are unconstitutional because they impose an undue burden on women seeking abortions and would do little to improve women's health.

(AUDIO-AT-LINK)

The restrictions "do not serve -- in fact, they disserve -- the government's interest in protecting women's health, and they would close most of the clinics in Texas, leaving many women in that State with a constitutional right that 'exists in theory but not in fact,'" wrote U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, Jr. on behalf of the Obama administration....

Davis is a complete nobody. Why does she rate a mention? You’d have to ask a liberal journalist.

Well the DC judges can enforce their law prohibiting Texas from practicing their law in DC.

Way past time to hold DC to the LAW of the Constitution!

But presidential fiats usurping Congress by imposing restrictions for something directly written in the Constitution is constitutional. Yet something imagined in the constitutional by libtards that has never been there is unconstitutional when a state passes its own laws

Leviathan is another name for Satan in the bible,

Thanks captmar-vell. I did not know that.

After what has been recently revealed about Pre-Meditated Pulling Apart Babies for Profit and FORCING AMERICANS to PAY FOR IT, this is the most EVIL GOVERNMENT in the history of this republic of United States.

18 October 1787

Perhaps this country never saw so critical a period in their political concerns. We have felt the feebleness of the ties by which these United-States are held together, and the want of sufficient energy in our present confederation, to manage, in some instances, our general concerns. Various expedients have been proposed to remedy these evils, but none have succeeded. At length a Convention of the states has been assembled, they have formed a constitution which will now, probably, be submitted to the people to ratify or reject, who are the fountain of all power, to whom alone it of right belongs to make or unmake constitutions, or forms of government, at their pleasure. The most important question that was ever proposed to your decision, or to the decision of any people under heaven, is before you, and you are to decide upon it by men of your own election, chosen specially for this purpose. If the constitution, offered to your acceptance, be a wise one, calculated to preserve the invaluable blessings of liberty, to secure the inestimable rights of mankind, and promote human happiness, then, if you accept it, you will lay a lasting foundation of happiness for millions yet unborn; generations to come will rise up and call you blessed. You may rejoice in the prospects of this vast extended continent becoming filled with freemen, who will assert the dignity of human nature. You may solace yourselves with the idea, that society, in this favoured land, will fast advance to the highest point of perfection; the human mind will expand in knowledge and virtue, and the golden age be, in some measure, realised. But if, on the other hand, this form of government contains principles that will lead to the subversion of liberty - if it tends to establish a despotism, or, what is worse, a tyrannic aristocracy; then, if you adopt it, this only remaining assylum for liberty will be shut up, and posterity will execrate your memory.

Though I am of opinion, that it is a sufficient objection to this government, to reject it, that it creates the whole union into one government, under the form of a republic, yet if this objection was obviated, there are exceptions to it, which are so material and fundamental, that they ought to determine every man, who is a friend to the liberty and happiness of mankind, not to adopt it. I beg the candid and dispassionate attention of my countrymen while I state these objections - they are such as have obtruded themselves upon my mind upon a careful attention to the matter, and such as I sincerely believe are well founded. There are many objections, of small moment, of which I shall take no notice - perfection is not to be expected in any thing that is the production of man - and if I did not in my conscience believe that this scheme was defective in the fundamental principles - in the foundation upon which a free and equal government must rest - I would hold my peace.

“Pulling Apart Babies for Profit and FORCING AMERICANS to PAY FOR IT, this is the most EVIL GOVERNMENT in the history of this republic of United States.”

Very true, this administration is making us all pay tribute and sacrifice to their evil god, judgement is coming for this nation but I believe it comes all at once, in one hour of one day, not in some drawn out descent of our own making to which we’re seeing happening already today with the blessings leaving us,

The bible has a lot to say about how God views children in the womb:

“Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.” Job 10:8-11

“And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Moloch” Leviticus 18:21

“I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.” Psalm 22:10

“From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.” Psalm 71:6

“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalm 139:13-16

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

“And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:” Luke 1:41

“As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.” Luke 1:44

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven” Matthew 18:10

“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2

“But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, “ Galatians 1:15

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” Revelation 18:21
