Roe v. Wade: Pro-life Leaders React to Chicago Mayor's 'Incendiary' Call to Arms
Catholic News Agency ^ | 5/10/22 | Katie Yoder

Catholic and pro-life leaders are condemning the Chicago’s mayor’s “call to arms” in response to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion suggesting that justices will overturn Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide in 1973.

“To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat in a same-sex marriage, tweeted on Monday. “We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory!”

Catholic and pro-life leaders expressed concern with Lightfoot’s wording at a time when abortion activists are threatening Supreme Court justices and attacking Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers.

“It is seriously concerning to see politicians like Mayor Lightfoot use incendiary language with violent undertones at a time when certain Supreme Court justices need additional security and churches and pregnancy centers are under actual attack by the abortion movement,” Ashley McGuire, a senior fellow with The Catholic Association, told CNA.

She added, “Efforts to intimidate jurists and frighten pro-lifers will not prevail, but they are reckless and must be condemned.”

I’m still wondering why a lesbian would be so invested in abortion

on the Alternate Earth, where Justice still reigns,
where corruption is detected, arrested, and stopped
with accountability, ... this ‘call to arms’
was correctly labeled as INSURRECTION.

I’m surprised the ghetto ferals she protects haven’t gotten to her yet.

A very well armed abortion oasis. Can’t wait.

Lori Lightfoot looks like bug-eyed insect. Definitely an insectoid.

Bingo! Libtards are not moral, they simply respond to the prevailing zeitgeist. ‘If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, the society is absolute.’ Francis Schaeffer.

And CBS News reports: Law enforcement on alert after leak of Supreme Court abortion draft opinion
Message boards on far-right online platforms continue to host speculative threads on the identity of the individual who leaked the draft Supreme Court opinion and feature coded language targeting places of worship, abortion clinics and the Supreme Court.

A lesbian is just another Gid hater who knows Jesus cannot save her; faced without eternal life they engage in hostility against God loving people. They live angry at denial of being saved from death. They hate happiness and cute little heterosexuals if in the womb. Babies represent life and homosexuality represents death.

I would respectfully disagree.

Jesus could save her, is she let Him.

But He won’t force Himself on her.

She will get what she wants, an eternity without God, but I doubt she’s going to like it very much.
