Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor rejected the idea that a fetus that has the ability to move and react to pain is a human life that should be protected from abortion.
"Virtually every state defines a brain death as death," Sotomayor, appointed by former President Barack Obama, said during oral arguments in a potential landmark abortion rights case Wednesday, as the state of Mississippi defended an abortion restriction law that directly challenges Roe v. Wade.
"Yet, the literature is filled with episodes of people who are completely and utterly brain dead responding to stimuli," Sotomayor continued. "There's about 40 percent of dead people who, if you touch their feet, the foot will recoil. There are spontaneous acts by dead brain people. So I don't think that a response to -- by a fetus necessarily proves that there's a sensation of pain or that there's consciousness."
Sotomayor also said that she believes the idea that a fetus is a human life is a "religious view."

Sotomayor is a vile racist and daughter of Satan who is sympathetic to the systematic murder of unborn babies.
Once it’s all over, Hell will be filled with murderous creeps like her.
Place her argument in the dictionary under “Filth”.

Another Leftist sicko.
Death of the human form comes AFTER life, not before birth.
How did she get through law school? Seriously. These two aren’t the same. 2+2 doesn’t =5
President Biden barely shows consciousness
Sotomayor should be Housekeeping Supervisor at the downtown Hyatt instead of being a moronic leftard on the SCOTUS bench.
Since Congress has no express constitutional abortion protection amendment to justify 14th Amendment-based laws to protect abortion, laws providing abortion funding unconstitutional imo, neither has the Supreme Court any constitutionally enumerated abortion protections to throw at the states.
With all due respect to family and supporters of the late Terri Schiavo for example, note the misguided Supreme Court's double standards with respecting 10th Amendment-protected state power to make euthanasia laws on one hand, while blatantly ignoring state power to prohibit abortion on the other hand.
It's no surprise that lawless Democrats fight tooth and nail to try to maintain a pro-abortion Supreme Court justice majority in order to stay in power since there is no express abortion protection like 2nd Amendment-protected gun rights for example.
In fact, Sotomayor also blatantly ignores that the pre-FDR era Supreme Court had condemned interpolations of Constitution which is arguably what the Roe v. Wade justices did when they wrongly legislated from the bench the so-called "right" to abortion.
“3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.
There is brain activity in the womb before the full term of a pregnancy...the argument is completely nonsensical. Not that I wasn’t expecting such brilliant “thought” from the “wise latina”. How did she ever get a law degree, aren’t those supposed to be difficult or something?
She will have to account for her viewpoints to her Creator some day .
That will be a irrevocably terrible day for her.
Based on her logic, I guess being a wise, latina, supreme court justice doesn’t mean you aren’t brain dead, either.
intercourse stopped the day I got married... hmm
We need to fix that problem..
Yes, indeed.
Leftists take the fun out of everything. They need to be purged.
Excellent point. Should be made more often.
Capturing that in a photo would be instrumental (inside jar). It displays scale...and detail. ...powerful, I’ve never pictured it at that level. Thanks for sharing.
I would be willing to bet that this female knows about the proof that a womb-bound baby has been shown to be able to learn at 22 weeks gestation. So she is lying to promote an evil agenda which her dead soul prefers over the truth. She is an evil person of power.
Astonishing that Sotomayor is using her own beliefs about science to guide her judgment, since she is simply flat wrong.
There is a huge difference between a spinal reflex, and a brain-determined action. By definition, brain death means no brain-stem responses. The motions of first-trimester fetuses include brain-stem responses from independently regulated heartbeats to full-body repositioning.
It’s an insane argument. I’m stunned tbh. A comparison to somebody on their death-bed vs a newly forming human? IS THAT going to be the argument from the left? Seriously?
Ethics -101 should answer that.
You know what...I’m going to grab some popcorn.
She’s a crazy bitch.
I guess she has never given birth.
