Is she angling for a job on MSNBC?

Why be so vocal about this, even if she feels it? A huge part of her base aren’t big fans of abortion.

We got Roe because of liberal judicial activism and its time to put a stop to it.

That would mean reversing it.

Religion? Heh, I can show through science that a ‘fetus’ is in fact, living. Just because it is a temporary dependent doesn’t make it “non-human” or “non-life”.

The Constitution does not permit murder.

But abortion isn’t in the Constitution

Correct, and that is the constitutional point about Roe v. Wade that many chose to ignore.

If the Constitution did not grant Congress the power to legislate abortion then why is the Supreme Court hearing abortion cases?

The Constitution also did not grant Congress the power to legislate marriage.

Perhaps Tomi can have a real discussion about abortion and what it does to the woman after the abortion. How about we talk about increased depression, drug abuse and suicide rates after the procedure?

Believing in anything is a “faith” thing. Can’t believe killing pre-born babies is wrong without being a Christian and believing in the Bible. Can’t believe killing condemned murderers is wrong without believing in the Bible and being a Christian, oh wait...(scratches head)

have the right to create laws that they deem necessary to secure "domestic tranquility" and "promote the general welfare"

have the right to create laws that they deem necessary to secure "domestic tranquility" and "promote the general welfare" within the enumerated legislative powers.

The Constitution’s “General Welfare” clause allows Congress to use their "herein granted" powers of legislation to act in the general welfare of the people. (Without adding an additional power of legislation.)

In more modern terms it is like configuring packet filtering - General rules - least privilege All that is not expressly permitted is prohibited

I was reading and living the US Constitution before she was even born. Nothing like getting lectured by a millenial faux-conservative....

I think this is more about right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness than religion.
The problem is, that Toni thinks all people who are against abortion are,because of religion. That is not the case.
Most people I know who are against abortion don’t go to church. They do know the difference between right and wrong.

True. If Roe was overturned it wouldn’t change the law at all.

WHY oh why is sending a pro-life judge to the SCOTUS considered to be “religious judicial activism”.


That wouldn’t. However, selecting a judge not because of their dedication to the Constitution, but rather specifically to overturn a particular case is said activism.

That said, Roe v. Wade was so poorly decided that it would go away in comportment to the Constitution. One needn’t resort to activism.

And this is a deeply felt issue that Roe simply didn’t settle.


Not only did it not settle, it specifically prevented it from being settled in any sort of reasonable matter.

Whether it’s what Ms. Lahren meant, only she knows.

Agreed.

Tomi is an ignorant fake blonde.
She knows nothing about the constitution.
She should work at CNN or MSNBC.
She is the type of “conservative they love.

I am surprised at her. If she believes this she should KNOW that all the conservatives do not agree with her, and not make it the hill she wants to die on.

She’s great for our side- but she should learn to pick her major battles.

Don’t crap where you eat Tomi.

I hope you come to your senses on abortion, but in the mean time don’t PROMOTE support for it.

One of these days scientists are going to figure out what causes pregnancy so we can avoid it before you have to murder a baby.

Hahaha...we guys are such suckers...even guys who are aware of the dynamic often willingly go along with it.

Charm, particularly sexual charm, is an extremely powerful tool in the right (or...wrong) hands.

I am often surprised (and gratefully suprised) that many women (though not all, too be sure!) do not fully understand and exploit this silly Machiavellian dynamic! (Thank goodness for the male species)

I have long suspected that is one of the reasons for the often heard saw that females (especially attractive ones) are superior espionage agents...I fully believe that!

In the medical field, I have seen this in action so many times that my wife, who is also in the field, laugh at it when we see it.

When the various drug/equipment/supply vendors come in, the men are often reasonably young and ruggedly handsome, in their dark blue pinstriped suits, and they appeal to the females for patronage of the product, and they seem to know which female subjects to avoid, and which ones to make a beeline to! If they have to deal with guys, they seem to shift gears and turn on the guy-to-guy dynamic at the flick of a switch!

The female vendor reps, wearing their heels at the ends of their attractive legs, covered by the female equivalent of the blue pinstriped suit with a dress that is short, but usually just a little bit not TOO short (as close to the line of impropriety as they can get!) can have a male doctor eating out of their hand in no time. Literally, feeding the savage beasts by hand! Granted, not in all cases, but...sexual charm is a powerful thing indeed.

In both cases, the vendors have their rolling bags with them...the stereotype can be hilarious to watch if you are in the know. My wife and I watched a movie one night called Love and Other Drugs, and we both nearly died laughing...at least for the first part of the movie. (We both thought the movie would be a comedy classic, until it changed in midstream to a depressing, cancer-life-ending drama. That part destroyed the movie, but...the first part was hilarious!) In it, we recognized ALL the true stereotypes...just really funny! (the movie was about the discovery and introduction of the drug Viagra, shot from a perspective of the pharmaceutical industry!)
