Pro-Abortion Gov. Wolf on Mississippi Abortion Case: ‘Another Attempt Dismantle Individual Freedoms’
Townhall.com ^ | 4 December A.D. 2021 | Madeline Leesman

Pennsylvania’s pro-abortion Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, issued a statement on Thursday slamming the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Court heard oral arguments for the case on Wednesday, which surrounds a Mississippi law that bans abortions at 15 weeks. Dobbs is the first case in decades with the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade.

In his statement, Wolf called the pro-life movement “anti-choice” and said that the Supreme Court could negatively affecting women and “birthing people” with their decision.

“Today’s arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court demonstrate another attempt to dismantle individual freedoms across the country and defy all practical understanding of modern reproductive health care. We should all be deeply troubled by the so-called pro-life movement that has worked tirelessly to secure a conservative majority in on our nation’s highest court. The Supreme Court ruling could have tremendous implications on abortion bans throughout our nation and negatively affect women, birthing people, and families making deeply personal decisions. We must take this as a reminder that your vote matters and the future of your health care depends on it.

Here in Pennsylvania, there have been six different anti-choice bills introduced by members of the General Assembly since 2016. I have vetoed three that were placed on my desk for signature and vowed to veto the rest. I remain committed to do everything in my power to protect these rights for the rest of my term. Abortion is health care. It must remain safe and legal.”

As I covered, reports following the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on Wednesday indicated that the justices are open to upholding Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban or overturning Roe v. Wade altogether. As a result, heavily Democratic states like California and Colorado are working to “codify” Roe into law and increase abortion access.

It’s rich. When it comes to abortion, drugs and homosexual acts, the left is all about “individual freedom.”

But when it comes to homeschooling, religious faith, running a business, bearing arms, etc., the left relentless seeks to destroy individual freedom.

What about the individual rights of the fetus being killed? And “birthing persons”? Why can’t he say the perfectly normal words “women” and “mothers”?

Hypocrite.

There’s no freedom to sleep around and kill the result of it.

Governor Wolf is an abortion Ghoul much like Biden. He cannot be trusted for a decent decision when it comes to young children’s lives. Tainted by the democrat’s philosophy when it comes to life. The democrats are immoral now and have no conscience. To them the little ones mean nothing. That is how far down they have gone.

You can’t be a “birthing person” if you have had an abortion, unless you have had a post-partum abortion.

A “birthing person” is not a mother any more than a sperm donor is a father. Mothers and fathers love their children and care for them, the others don’t.
