Is killing a democrat wrong?
To determine that a killing is murder, you first have to assume that the victim is a human being. Perhaps the author would argue that we should eliminate murder laws as well, because of their religious nature.
If you continued down that rabbit hole, I think you’d end up finding that all laws have a religious taint, and are not the business of the courts.
She only wants government intervention when it enforces decrees she agrees with and not with decrees she is against.
Leftist demand the use of the monopoly on force of government to hurt their enemies. This is why their favorite weapon in the ongoing civil war is lawfare.
IF human life doesn’t begin at conception then I’m gonna bust up some turtle eggs or other so called endangered species.
She can talk out of 8 sides of her at one time.
The minute the egg and sperm unite, there is a creation of a unique set of DNA like no other created before or since that moment in time.
Like Dr. Carson stated, if it’s not human, why do doctor’s and companies want the remains?
Sotomayor is just hopelessly stupid. It is a complete waste of time to present any even mildly complex issues for her consideration. She is the classic example of how affirmative action results in incompetence.
Sotomayer apparently does not want to reconsider whether Blackmum’s opinion remains true - “When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus [on when life begins], the judiciary, at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.”
It seems that the science since then is well beyond consensus and that the judiciary does not have to speculate anymore. If life begins at conception, and the Constitution protects life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then we are at the next step. Sotomayer needs to answer the legal question why that life would not be entitled to any or even limited Constitutional due process protection? An if entitled to due process protection, what would it look like? Ahhhh ... now the Court has been exposed to be out of its jurisdiction .... it cannot legislate. It would require a Constitutional amendment.
Some will say that the states are empowered to decide whether abortion would be permitted under the 10th Amendment. I would argue that since the US Supreme Court has extended federal constitutional protection via the 14th Amendment, the states would not be able to fashion their own abortion laws without guaranteeing due process to the unborn that could survive federal constitutional requirements. Roe may be the most devastating court decision ever for at least 62 million reasons.
Sotomayer here is either not bright, not honest, or both.
She is also declared Catholic!
Abortion is murder.
Compare the DNA of the mother to the DNA of the fetus. Abortion should be legal for as long as the two DNAs match exactly.
Oh, and BTW, if DNA doesn’t work to differentiate between individuals, we have hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people in prisons that should be set free.
Forget talking to Justice Sotomayor. Her decision will be from feelings, not from the law. And so it will be from the other liberals on the court. They forget their oath when it comes to issues like abortion. They only remember how they feel.
