“he called the bill “extreme” and noted that it does not have exceptions for rape or incest”

Neither does the commandment “thou shalt not murder”. Is that “extreme” too, Pat?

“Robertson is concerned with forcing the mother, the victim of a forced pregnancy ( rape or incest ), to raise a child she never wanted in the first place.”

Nobody is forced to raise a child. She could dump it off at the nearest firehouse and walk away.

No it has not gone too far. It is finally taking the actual biological science into consideration.

I think the idea of a pregnancy threatening a mother’s life, and particularly in the United States, is WAY overdone.

Yes. I believe that one is a red herring as well. But it’s harder to fake than “rape”.

I would tend to agree with your assessment. I might put Alito’s and Gorsuch’s percentages a bit higher, but am quite pessimistic about Kavanaugh and Roberts. In big cases, such as ObamaCare, it seems to me that Roberts can be pressured to conform to the world and the elitists.

Are you thinking maybe 80% and 60% for Alito & Gorsuch?

I wouldn’t object to those numbers.

I guess telling that old guy whose wife was in a nursing home with Alzheimers that it was OK for him to go pick up a woman and have sex with her wasn’t enough for Pat, eh?

This is a war.

You have to retake lost territory. Sometimes it takes many battles.

We have about 50 years of indoctrination of the public to undue on this issue.

Exactly. Pat: God says murder is wrong... except when I say it is not wrong.

I was watching the show when I heard that and couldn’t believe my ears!!

Pat is getting old and is losing it.

The only problem is that his so Gordon would replace Pat and Gordon is very BORING!

Yes, most states have Safe Haven laws, including liberal NJ.

Seriously? I guess you have not been following your own pro life groups’ long standing positions.
