Supreme Court wipes out lower court rulings in Texas abortion battle
NBC ^ | 1/25/21 | Pete Williams

The Supreme Court handed a victory to advocates of abortion rights Monday, wiping off the books lower court rulings that had upheld a Texas order banning nearly all abortions in the state during the coronavirus pandemic.

Gov. Greg Abbott ordered a halt to nonessential medical procedures in late March to conserve hospital resources and personal protective equipment. Attorney General Ken Paxton then said the order applied to "any type of abortions," including medication abortions that do not involve surgery.

Cancer treatments - not essential.

Abortion - gotta have it!

It’d be nice if they’d treat actual constitutional rights with as much fervor.

What else would one expect from a Roman Catholic dominated Supreme Court.

Church services aren’t essential either. Despite what the Constitution says about freedom of worship.

Freedom of infanticide, not so much.

In Michigan during some of her sternest lockdowns, Gretchen Whitmer assigned Michigan State Police to guard the abortion places because they were open as “essential” “for women’s health”. No heart procedures, joint operations or other hospital measures were allowed.

Tattoo places, marijuana stores and liquor stores were open under her edicts. Grimly funny: they said if daily alcohol drinkers were suddenly cut off, they quickly start domestic violence as a consequence. Marijuana and alcohol also provided huge tax revenues to her state’s government coffers to keep up high salaries of officials. Makes sense. /S

See Jeremiah (when they re-enslaved their fellow Judeans) for the danger of taking back repentance.

Along with all the people displaying the fruit spoken of in Romans 1:18-32 (never mind them advancing genderism, as if advancing homosexuality in society wasn’t a proverbial canary dying in a coal mine enough of a canary dying in a coal mine warning enough) we look like ours might be a nation getting turned over to judgment.

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I was told that PDJT had "cemented a conservative majority for decades to come" and we now had a 6-3 "conservative majority" on SCOTUS (or, 5-4 in a worse case scenario due to "traitor Roberts" who was appointed by globalist swamp creature BUSH. Obviously PDJT wouldn't make a mistake like that!)

I'm sure Gorsuch & Kavanaugh ALWAYS vote the exact same way Scalia would. They're "originalists", you know, and they came from Trump's LIST, which was clearly infallible and should have never been questioned. Trump delivered on his campaign promise to give us nothing but pro-life originalists in the Scalia mold. Everyone who doubted the "list" and questioned whether Trump would name rock solid "originalists" to SCOTUS now owe him an apology for awesome judges like Gorsuch. SHAME on those bitter nasty NeverTrumper Cruzers for doubting him!

This article is CLEARLY mistaken.

The problem with this article is the news is incomplete.

WHO ARE THE JUSTICES WHO VOTED TO WIPE OUT THE LOWER COURT’s RULING?

GIVE US THEIR NAMES. And what was the decision? 5-4?

Very poor reporting.

Not to mention, the hookup apps are still in operation unrestricted.

With the sexual revolution many people elevated who does what to who to be the end all be all of the pursuit of happiness. Therefore whatever helps there be more sex without consequences — notably consequences for the men who ranch all the proverbial free milk they want from women who think they’re liberated — is likewise essential. What do you really expect from those whose sense of liberty roses no higher than their crotch?

I’m just old enough to remember that libertine people (who most likely never fought actual fascist) would call someone a fascist merely for saying they should have good morals. They also were calling our troops baby killers.

Don’t want to be one of them.

Yet another reason for Texas and like-minded states to secede (sp?) from the Republic

A woman can kill her baby or abandon him or her at a fire station with no consequences.

A man is financially accountable to that child for 18 year whether he consents to parenthood or not

Additionally a man who donates sperm is not shielded from having his identity shared with the children who are created.

So much for equality.
