Tomi Lahren began her appearance on Fox and Friends this morning by saying she wanted to “clarify” her statements in which she argued against overturning Roe v. Wade. Instead, Lahren doubled down, adding fuel to the fire by saying that conservatives who want to go after Roe “might as well spit on the Constitution.” Said Lahren:
“My problem is with some of my fellow conservatives who have put it out there that we are, quote: “coming for Roe v. Wade. That is a mistake, because we are putting it out there and implying that we are sending a justice to the bench to carry out religious judicial activism which is a mistake and it’s unconstitutional. And if we as conservatives are going to imply that, if that’s going to be our messaging, we might as well spit on the Constitution.”

Social controversies should be solved by people and their elected representatives, not imposed on society by judicial fiat.
Liberal social policy makes for bad law and has unintended consequences.
“She is a conservative.”
Upon what basis is she considered a conservative?
Tell that to the Founding Fathers. It's the rights of the people to dictate how they are governed for the common welfare...
This may not be the US Constitution but it is the DoI that was the groundwork for the Constitution...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That, to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
"...That, whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
This implies that the people, regardless of the religious or philosophical beliefs, have the right to create laws that they deem necessary to secure "domestic tranquility" and "promote the general welfare".
My, my how far we've come. Seems like only yesterday, abortion purveyors Planned Parenthood assured us
abortion would be performed only as a last resort, in dire situations....to save the life of the mother (SOURCE: Ntl
Right to Life archives).
Now its adherents say it's a "constitutional right." Next on the P/P agenda? Forced abortions?
Every time one of these people open their mouths, you realize just how shallow and vacuous they are.
Wouldn’t they have to spit on the “penumbra” of the constitution instead of the actual document itself?
Why has the captain of the high school cheer-leading team been given a place of importance in the conservative media world?
It is likely that she has had an abortion(s) and has shame and guilt over it (as most women who have aborted their babies do).
She MUST defend her crime(s) to the bitter end or until Jesus changes her life.
Pro Abortion (Choice) Christian? NO SUCH THING! (Some THINK they can fool God, the hubris of some people!)
...but anyone who seeks to confiscate guns is a hero.

IMHO
And this is the very reason I never liked this quasi-conservative pretty faced pig. She dares to call herself conservative all the while preaching abortion just like her liberal cocktail buddies do. She’s no conservative.
I am surprised that Tomi Lahren apparently is not aware of the Constitutional issues with Roe.
She comes across like she does not know what she is talking about.
Arguably the most famous case is Dr. Brian Finkle, who had over 100 complaints. He was extremely aggressive, threatening pro-lifers and making bizarre statements. After he went to prison for a 35 year sentence in 2001 for abusing women he quickly got on a prison dating website with the nickname "Road Kill". Don't know if he's still on there.
There are other abortionists with multiple complaints as well.
BTW, the Constitution is not affirming a pro-life belief that the fetus is a child. The Constitution affirms the inalienable rights of the individual. The issue is that NO ONE. .not pro-lifers or pro-abortion . . .NO ONE. ..knows when, in fact, human life begins. Both sides have only beliefs about whether the fetus is fully human or not. The right Constitutional path is, given that no one knows the moment when life begins and because pursuing life as one of our endowed rights is, therefore, evidence that life is precious. ..it is in the interest of society and thus the Constitution to err on the side of protecting life in ALL its known phases, i.e. from conception to birth.
Bottomline: Tomi is a ignorant big mouth ass!!
Choice should happen before conception. After conception it is a responsibility.
I still wonder how taxpayer dollars got wrapped up in the all this crap.
Even Darth Vader Ginsburg called Roe bad law. It should be a decision at the state level according to the Constitution, although no good state would give sanction to human sacrifice.
“She comes across like she does not know what she is talking about.”
One of the tell-tale signs that she has agreed to be a tool of the feminazi left. And the left is always irrational.
Looks to me like lahern has ‘megyn kelly’ aspirations at fox.
One day the Constitution is a living breathing document; the next day stare decisis is the rule. Is it like even/odd gas rationing in the 70s?
Libs don’t have principles, only tactics. One of those tactics is to claim to be operating under a principle now and then. One popular trick used by the libs is to scream ‘judicial activism’ whenever their ox is gored.
Roe vs. Wade is about two things. Avoiding responsibility for your own actions AND forcing OTHERS to pay for it.
It never was about rape because the woman in the case wasn’t raped to begin with. It was about forcing US to pay for her lack of responsibility and poor choices.
