In ‘chilling reality,’ Senate Dems call on Biden to use ‘full force of federal govt to protect access to abortion’ Turning the page in the Democratic playbook, a group of senators have moved past inciting protesters to declaring an emergency too good to pass up as they further proved their chief agenda item is massive government overreach in a letter to President Joe Biden.

Host Alex Marlow begins today’s podcast with the historic Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Alex explains why Democrats really only have themselves to blame.

And finally, Alex lists the many examples of privileged celebrities who decided to crap on the country that has given them so much simply because the...

One of the primary reasons for immoral women deciding to have an abortion is the potential discovery of infidelity. Were a husband or even a boyfriend to discover that their "woman" has been sleeping around can lead to severe consequences. Men are also advocates of the practice to absolve them of consequences as well. This is not to excuse immoral men for doing the same thing, but is a major reason for demanding that abortion be legal...it removes the evidence of wrong-doing. All of the other supposed reasons for needing an abortion represent a miniscule amount of cases relative to...

Majorities of Americans say they disagree with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, think it was politically motivated, are concerned the court will now reconsider rulings that protect other rights, and are more likely to vote for a candidate this fall who would restore the right to an abortion, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.Still, a majority opposes expanding the number of justices who could sit on the Supreme Court.In overturning Roe on Friday, the Supreme Court reversed 50 years of precedent that had made abortion a right in this country. The right to regulate abortion...

The Supreme Court’s historic overturning of Roe v. Wade has plunged pro-abortion activists into a state of existential despair, their life’s work crushed with a single ruling. But hark: here comes Hollywood star Mark Ruffalo to the rescue, offering a scorching photo of himself as succor for the despondent left. Mark Ruffalo, star of Disney’s Avengers and the Oscar-winning Spotlight, posted the sizzling pic to his official Twitter account on Monday along with words that appeared like an attempt to motivate the left ahead of the November midterm elections. “Focused. Determined. Committed,” he wrote in the since-deleted tweet. “Don’t let...

As thousands of members of our LGBQT+ community poured into Dublin for a joyful celebration of diversity, it was hard to believe what was unfolding on the other side of the Atlantic. A second day of protested and riots erupted in cities across the US as news sank in of the Supreme Court's overturning of the landmark Roe VS Wade case which, for the past 50 years, has delivered abortion rights to woman. Donald Trump may have failed in his pledge to make America Great Again, but he has been true to his word protecting the unborn. He filled the...

After talking about the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade on Monday, the 'View' panelists discussed what might be next, including other rights guaranteed by cases Thomas suggested revisiting.Whoopi Goldberg is among those calling out Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for saying the court “should reconsider” past rulings that secured access to contraceptives and marriage equality. In his concurring opinion in the court’s Friday ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, Thomas said the court “should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” cases that made...

Since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Pope Francis has remained largely silent on the historic ruling returning the power to restrict abortion to the states, despite church leaders from around the world applauding the decision. Catholic officials in the United States have expressed their thankfulness and joy that the precedent established by Roe v. Wade in 1973 was overturned. However, Pope Francis has not released a major declaration of support since the Court’s ruling, with some experts pointing to the Church’s cautious nature and the Pope’s more liberal tendencies as potential reasons. (RELATED: ‘Challenges...

On Friday, June 24, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Dobbs ruling was significant, for two reasons: It settled a question regarding abortion at the national level: that it’s not the federal government’s business, so it’s up to the states. Also, since it overturned a 50-year-old ruling, it reminds both the general public and future courts that our respect for precedent should not be so blind as to allow blatantly unfounded rulings to stand if a chance comes up to correct the error. The outcry was loud and immediate, and no wonder:...

Celebrated evangelical leader Franklin Graham has publicly thanked Donald Trump and Mike Pence for “all they did to make the Supreme Court decision ending Roe v. Wade possible.” In a Facebook post this weekend, Rev. Graham said that the Trump presidency “was the most pro-life administration in my lifetime!”, adding that his appointment of conservative judges across this country “will have an impact for years to come.”

Pelosi, the speaker of the US House, labels the Supreme Court an "extremist" body that punishes the American people.

Nathan W. Jones leads the Bay Area chapter of the Black Gun Owners Assn. But until a few years ago, he wasn't even into guns. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. And George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, sending racial justice protesters into the streets. And white supremacists trashed the U.S. Capitol in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Suddenly, it seemed as if America was on the brink. And with the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe vs. Wade on Friday, emboldening a militant array of white Christian nationalists, we clearly still are. "I had visions of mobs dragging people through the...

PolitiFact’s routine tendency to defend President Biden’s accuracy in his public proclamations continued within hours of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision on Friday. Biden claimed America was now an “outlier among developed nations” in the world. Madison Czopek and Tom Kertscher claimed this was “Mostly True.” This was their quickie summary: -- The reversal of Roe v. Wade eliminated the national right to abortion access in the U.S., leaving it to states to regulate. -- That makes the U.S. an outlier among other developed nations, which have laws or court rulings that provide for national access to abortion. This was...

Seems to me every time something happens in this country that offends the left, violence and burning ensue. Sure enough, after the Dobbs decision was handed down left wing whack jobs took to their favorite past time. There was an insurrection in Arizona. The details sound very familiar: Pro-abortion rioters attempted to storm the Arizona capitol building in Phoenix while the state’s senate was in session. Pro-life Republican state Senator Kelly Townsend, who was inside the senate building, tweeted members of the Senate were “being held hostage inside the Senate building.” Townsend said during one period the senators could “smell...

So much for the Left’s ‘Night of Rage’. Oh, there were plenty of protesters out and about screaming and yelling about their vaginas and uteruses (uterusi?), and some a-holes vandalized a church and a pregnancy center but all things considered, their Night of Rage was more of a Night of Whining and Complaining. We’ve seen what their rage looks like. Remember the ‘Summer of Love?’ Yeah. This thread goes through the night in greater detail … we especially laughed at the part where the cops were so concerned they ordered Chinese food. OMG NOT A PLASTIC COAT HANGER. EVERYONE RUUUUUUUUUN!...

As a columnist, my job is to get really angry at something and then sit back and rant a bit. Today I do so strangely happy, after hearing the news that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. The paradox of being a conservative is that we love to party, but have little to celebrate, at least lately. Today I will drink to life. That the left continues to insist that the Constitution — it doesn’t matter if it’s the American one or any of the European Constitutions — guarantees anything even remotely resembling the right to abortion is...

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:18 (King James Version) Thank you, President Trump, for taking the curse of abortion off of this Great country and putting it on the ash heap of history where it belongs. No longer can the pro-abortionists claim it is settled law and now have to actually defend this barbaric act. State by state they have to convince the people it is more important to kill a living human than to have and raise...
