No amount of overt pro-abortion activism on the part of a nominee to the Court—whether a Republican (Souter) or a Democrat—is sufficient cause Republicans in the Senate to say, “This is a person of bad character, who is therefore unsuitable to serve on the Court.”
Howard Philips pointed out to Orrin Hatch that Souter had voted, as a member of a hospital board, to perform abortions. Philips said that Souter was therefore an evil man, and therefore not suitable to serve on the Court. Hatch ranted at Philips that that’s just not how we make decisions here.
Only when Republicans stop repeating the preposterous slogan, “There are good people on both sides of this issue” will we know that they get it.
There are NOT good people on both sides of this issue. The pro-life side is composed of good and bad people; the pro-abortion side is composed ENTIRELY of bad people. ALL pro-abortion people are wicked, violent, dishonest, unjust, of bad character.
This is so true. When else -- other than ancient child sacrifice cultures -- have people celebrated ripping the bodies of babies to pieces as a "civil right"?
