By Her Enemies You Can Know Her: Planned Parenthood Condemns Amy Coney Barrett Nomination

Amy Barrett and her family (husband and 7 children) head to the Rose Garden for Trump's announcement of her official SCOTUS nomination.

On Oct. 31, 2017 PlannedParenthoodAction.Org posted an article arguing that “the idea that Amy Coney Barrett would be a fair and impartial judge on issues of reproductive health is ludicrous.”

After the Senate had advanced the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to the floor of the U.S. Senate. Planned Parenthood Federation of America submitted a formal letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee opposing Barrett’s nomination.

On what grounds?

Statement from Dana Singiser, then-Vice President for Government Relations and Public Policy, Planned Parenthood Action Fund:  

The idea that Amy Coney Barrett would be a fair and impartial judge on issues of reproductive health is ludicrous. We call on every United States senator to uphold a fundamental standard: If you oppose Roe v. Wade and would empower employers to deny women access to birth control, you should not sit on the bench. ​Planned Parenthood urges senators to reject the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Seventh Circuit.

“Individual rights and freedoms are at the heart of who we are as a country, including the long-established right to access safe and legal abortion. A judicial nominee who does not believe in that freedom is dangerous to the health care of people across this country. As a leading healthcare provider, we’ve see firsthand what it means for people who are forced to cross state lines, travel hundreds of miles, or wait for weeks to get an abortion — if they can at all — due to medically unnecessary restrictions intended to block access to health care. People in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana deserve a judge who will consider their individual rights and freedoms ​and follow precedent.

Coney Barrett has a very active and vocal opposition to reproductive rights

• • Amy Coney Barrett was a member of the Notre Dame’s Faculty for Life Group from 2010 to 2016.   This is a group describes itself as “organized to promote research, dialogue, and publication by faculty, administration, and staff who respect the sacred value of human life from its inception to natural death in the spirit embodied in Evangelium Vitae and Caritas in Veritate and are committed to the legal and societal recognition of the value of all human life.”
  • Even worse, Barrett has held critical views of the Roe v. Wade decision due to her opposition to abortion and  stating that judges should not follow the law or the Constitution if it conflicts with their personal religious beliefs. It is also been reported that she believes Roe “creat(ed) through judicial fiat a framework of abortion on demand” that “ignited a national controversy.”
  • Barrett has criticized the Affordable Care Act’s guarantee that employers provide contraceptive coverage as part of their health insurance plans. She signed a letter authored by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty that objected to the Obama administration’s accommodation for religiously affiliated employers. The letter argued that the Obama administration was “morally obtuse” for failing to go far enough to accommodate religious liberty.

Remnant Editor’s Comment: Sounds good to me.

If this is how Planned Parenthood condemned Judge Barrett in 2017 over a mere US Court of Appeals nomination, one can only imagine how their heads must be spinning all the way around and the projectile vomit flying against the wall after her SCOTUS nomination.

If the possessed hags at PP hate President Trump’s nominee, I’m all in.

Thanks to Donald Trump for nominating an articulate defender of life, a faithful Catholic and a mother of 7 children.

As opposed to RBG.

[lightman]

She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk.

This is Sarah Palin in a black robe!

MAGA!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Pray for their safety! The left have no low they won’t go. Remember Scalia?

[proud American in Canada]

So this was to be expected.

With enemies like that, you know she’s a great choice.

[oldenuff35]

I know I’m going to like her already.

Pro 2A and likes to piss the left off.

Great combination.

[proud American in Canada]

BTW, I missed the announcement because it was my son’s birthday, so I didn’t see her family.

From the picture, they all look happy and healthy.

It will be very refreshing to have a young woman on the court.

[proud American in Canada]

Yes, I heard on Fox that she is pro-2nd Amendment. VERY good to know.

[clive bitterman]

Is it just me or in that picture does she look like she has another one on the way?

“Is it just me or in that picture does she look like she has another one on the way?”

I gave the picture a second look.
I think there’s a combination of dress fit, body motion and lighting that might give the appearance of one in the oven. For a woman who has given birth five times already she looks great at 48.

Obama had him killed off.

[jonrick46]

Planned Parenthood does not respect “respect the sacred value of human life from its inception to natural death in the spirit embodied in Evangelium Vitae and Caritas in Veritate.” Isn’t this disrespect for human life one reason we fought the Nazis in WWII?

[jonrick46]

My eyes are tired and missed the double use of the word “respect.” Even so, that word is much needed in these times.

[caww]

Not surprising the first one out of the gate is the one who murders hundreds every day of the week!

To Planned Parenthood.....”Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Are you kidding? Very few women wearing that dress, especially in a color other than black, could pull it off. A daring choice for her since TV adds 5 pounds and shows every angle. I thought she looked nice. She probably runs a lot and doesn’t have time to eat.

[oldvirginian]

Good points about the dress and color. Not sure why she picked black. I think she showed confidence and a happiness with her body, not easy for a lot of women.
She probably does some cardio and watches her diet, eating healthy.
I think she looks great for a woman who has had five children.
