Justice Ginsburg May Have Lied to Senate, Bill Clinton Admits He Picked Her Because She’s Pro-Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Bill Clinton admitted Wednesday that abortion was a major factor in his decision to nominate Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“There is one thing that we did discuss, and I feel I should tell you, because it will illustrate why I thought I should appoint her,” Clinton said during a speech at Georgetown University Law School, ABC News reports. . .

Ginsburg is perhaps the most faithful defender of abortion on demand on the U.S. Supreme Court, but Clinton’s admission is significant because, as ABC News noted, “political leaders in both parties have sought to avoid the appearance of an abortion litmus test for high court nominees.”

According to National Review, Clinton’s comments also suggest Ginsburg may have lied during her U.S. Senate confirmation hearing. . .

“Abortion was a big issue in 1992 — the right to choose. I was one of the first pro-choice Democrats to run since Roe v. Wade, who actually benefited from Roe v. Wade,” he said Wednesday. “Now, she didn’t have to say anything about this. She knew this perfectly well that I was under a lot of pressure to make sure I appointed someone who is Simon-pure, which I had said was important.” (Read more from “Justice Ginsburg May Have Lied to Senate, Bill Clinton Admits He Picked Her Because She’s Pro-Abortion” HERE)

Most Americans Oppose Democrats’ Plans for ‘Safe, Legal and Rare’ Abortions up to Birth

/0 Comments/in , /by

Recent comments from Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (who just announced she will not run for re-election, instead focusing on her presidential campaign) and former Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen that espousing support for any and all abortions at any time for any reason may be problematic have produced some interesting results.

First coined by “Slick Willie” (Bill Clinton), to talk of abortion being “safe, legal, and rare” was hypocritical, of course. Clinton never meant a word of it. But hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to (in this instance a comparative) virtue, and so he frequently offered up the mantra. . .

North’s jumping off point was that Hillary Clinton used the safe, legal, and rare refrain back in 2008 when running for president. “The language was likely meant to appeal to people who supported the right to an abortion in principle but still felt morally conflicted about the procedure — a large group, according to some polling,” North writes.” . . .

However, North tells her readers, “Despite the shift, divisions on abortion remain among Democrats.” In a nutshell (my interpretation here), those who still believe in voicing “safe, legal, and rare “ fear Planned Parenthood is becoming so politicized and so identified with abortion, its reputation will sooner or later take a dramatic hit.

It’s worth recalling that polls conducted in the past show that a huge percentage of Americans do not know Planned Parenthood performs abortions (including even many pro-lifers) and even those who did know greatly underestimate the number (321000+ annually).

State Lawmaker Calls a Miscarriage ‘Just Some Mess on a Napkin’ as She Scoffs at Bill Protecting Bodies of Aborted Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Pennsylvania state Rep. Wendy Ullman bashed a bill protecting the bodies of aborted babies Tuesday, calling an early miscarriage “just some mess on a napkin.”

Ullman spoke out against H.B. 1890 Tuesday, a bill that would “establish requirements for the final disposition of the remains of unborn children after their demise,” brought forward by Republican Pennsylvania state Rep. Francis Ryan. Ullman previously voted against a May bill prohibiting discriminatory abortions based on a diagnosis of Down syndrome.

A video the Pennsylvania Family Council originally posted shows Ullman protesting against the bill, saying, “It refers specifically to the product of conception after fertilization which covers an awful lot of territory.”

“I think we all understand the concept of the loss of a fetus, but we’re also talking about a woman who comes into a facility and is having cramps and — not to be, not to be, concrete — an early miscarriage is just some mess on a napkin,” the lawmaker said. She did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. . .

“A miscarriage, no matter how early, does not result in a ‘mess on a napkin’ but the loss of a child,” Vice President for Policy for Pennsylvania Family Institute Tom Shaheen said in a statement Thursday posted with the video on YouTube. “Each human life deserves respect, even when lost at an early stage in development.” (Read more from “State Lawmaker Calls a Miscarriage ‘Just Some Mess on a Napkin’ as She Scoffs at Bill Protecting Bodies of Aborted Babies” HERE)

New Bill Would Legalize Abortions up to Birth, Allow Infanticide

/0 Comments/in , /by

Massachusetts abortion activists upped the pressure this week on state lawmakers to pass a bill legalizing abortions for basically any reason up to birth.

Masquerading their deadly agenda as a fight for women’s health care, state Attorney General Maura Healey, Rep. Ayanna Pressley and city councilors Michelle Wu and Lydia Edwards launched a social media campaign Monday to support the bill, The Boston Globe reports.

Dubbed the Roe Act, the bill would eliminate basically all regulations and restrictions on abortion in Massachusetts. It would allow abortions up to birth, even if there is no physical threat to the mother’s life, and could put young sexual abuse victims at greater risk by eliminating the state parental consent requirement.

Massachusetts Citizens for Life said the bill allows for “passive infanticide” as well by not requiring medical care for a baby born alive after an abortion.

The pro-abortion campaign, paid for by NARAL Massachusetts, attempts to hide the bill’s extremism in a series of videos and ads. They are running this week on Politico, Facebook, YouTube and MASSterlist, according to Boston Magazine. (Read more from “New Bill Would Legalize Abortions up to Birth, Allow Infanticide” HERE)

Man Repeatedly Raped Teen Girl, Forced Her to Have Abortion. Abortion Clinic Never Reported Rape

/0 Comments/in , /by

A young Florida teenager who went missing for nearly a year allegedly was raped and forced to abort her unborn baby by a man twice her age, according to police.

Now, questions are being raised about whether the abortion facility reported the suspected abuse to authorities.

The Sun Sentinel reports police found the 15-year-old girl and her alleged abuser, Christopher Johnson, 30, of Davie, Florida, last week after the girl’s mother found pornographic images of her daughter online. . .

Police said they found paperwork from an abortion facility in Johnson’s apartment. It is not clear if the abortion facility, which is not named in reports, alerted authorities about the suspected abuse of the young girl. . .

The reports raise questions about whether the girl may have been found sooner if the abortion facility had reported the suspected abuse to authorities. It is not clear if it did. The abortion industry has a history of failing to protect abuse victims. (Read more from “Man Repeatedly Raped Teen Girl, Forced Her to Have Abortion. Abortion Clinic Never Reported Rape” HERE)

Judge Blocks Alabama’s Abortion Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, a federal judge blocked Alabama’s abortion ban, which was scheduled to be implemented on November 15 and would make Alabama the first state in the United States to make abortion illegal. The American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama and Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates had filed suit claiming the legislation, which was signed into law last May, was unconstitutional.

As AL.com reports, Judge Myron Thompson of the District Court for the Middle District of Alabama stated of Alabama’s Human Life Protection Act, which would charge doctors with a felony for performing abortions unless the mother’s life was in danger or the baby was still born or likely to die just after its birth: “’The court is persuaded that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in showing that the Act violates an individual’s constitutional right to obtain a pre-viability abortion, and thus that it violates her constitutional rights.” He concluded:

Alabama’s abortion ban contravenes clear Supreme Court precedent. It violates the right of an individual to privacy, to make “choices central to personal dignity and autonomy”(Casey, 505 U.S. at 851) … It diminishes “the capacity of women to act in society, and to make reproductive decisions.” (Id. at 860). It defies the United States Constitution. The court will, therefore, enter an appropriate order preliminarily enjoining enforcement of the Act as applied to pre-viability abortion.

The Daily Mail noted, “Tuesday’s injunction will ensure that the suit can move forward and upward through the court system – including, quite possibly, the Supreme Court – before coming into effect. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has long been prepared for that possibility. In no uncertain terms, he responded in August to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood suit, announcing that he had every intention of challenging Roe v Wade.” (Read more from “Judge Blocks Alabama’s Abortion Ban” HERE)

Kanye West Slams Democrat Party Leaders: They Are ‘Making Us Abort Our Children’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West slammed abortion and pro-abortion Democratic politicians last week in an interview promoting his first Christian album, “Jesus is King.”

West is the husband of Kim Kardashian and a well-known abortion supporter and often controversial celebrity who visited President Donald Trump in the White House last fall. He recently said he became a Christian, and his latest comments have some speculating that he may have become pro-life, too.

“Democrats had us voting Democrat for food stamps for years, bro,” the rap star told radio host Big Boy last week, according to Live Action. “What you talking about? Guns in the ’80s, taking the fathers out of the home, Plan B, lowering our votes, making us abort our children…. I can’t tell y’all how to feel. But what I can tell you honestly is how I feel.”

For years, black pro-life advocates like Dr. Alveda King have been calling out racial targeting by the abortion industry and the Democrat leaders who support it. Research by Protecting Black Life found that 79 percent of Planned Parenthood surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of African American and/or Hispanic/Latino communities. Statistics also indicate that black women have a disproportionately high number of abortions compared to other racial groups.

It appears West is beginning to realize the truth. (Read more from “Kanye West Slams Democrat Party Leaders: They Are ‘Making Us Abort Our Children'” HERE)

Couple Adopts After Pro-Life Photo Went Viral

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Virginia couple who went viral earlier this year with their pro-life plea to pregnant women has had their dreams answered.

Blake and Sarah Thomas, of Radford, posted a photo on Facebook about nine months ago pleading expectant mothers to not have an abortion. . .

They had posted the image in response to the passing of a New York bill on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade that legalizes abortion up to birth in many cases. . .

Soon after the post went viral, the Thomas’ agreed to adopt a child, but that fell through. To their surprise and joy, the mother decided to keep and parent the baby.

“We recently felt God burdening our hearts for older orphans, specifically boys who statistically are the least likely to be adopted,” Sarah Tomas said. “We’re so excited to meet him and we’re amazed by how God has already filled our hearts with love for this boy on the other side of the world that we’ve never met.” (Read more from “Couple Adopts After Pro-Life Photo Went Viral” HERE)

Gay 2020 Candidate Says Americans Should Be Forced to Fund Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana introduced an action plan for women as he campaigns for the Democrat nomination for president. Sadly, that action plans assumes women can only be empowered by helping them kill their children and forcing Americans to fund abortions.

His proposal to secure “power for women in the 21st century” is centered on a repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which protects Americans from directly funding abortions via their tax dollars.

“Progress for women has come despite systemic sexism and racism, and persistent gender bias,” Mr. Buttigieg said. “And now, with women’s rights under assault, we can’t wait any longer to ensure women have the power they deserve.”

But Buttigieg thinks the way to empower women is by having them kill their children with taxpayer funded abortions.

His new abortion plan comes on the heels of saying he thinks the death penalty is a bad thing for terrorists but fine for unborn babies. (Read more from “Gay 2020 Candidate Says Americans Should Be Forced to Fund Abortions” HERE)

Disgusting New List Ranks the Best and Worst Cities to Kill Babies in Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[A] disturbing new list from the National Institute for Reproductive Health highlights cities that make it easy to abort unborn babies. Fast Company reports the pro-abortion group ranked 50 U.S. cities based on 34 different indicators, including how much they promote abortion access.

The “top” city for killing unborn babies is San Francisco, with New York City and Chicago close behind, according to the list. Boston, Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, Seattle and Washington, D.C. also ranked near the top. The city with the lowest score was Billings, Montana. Others near the end included El Paso, Texas, Las Vegas and Omaha, Nebraska, the report continues.

“We hope that people will use the Local Reproductive Freedom Index to take a close look at their own communities and use it as an inspiration and a set of guideposts for what could be possible,” said Andrea Miller, president of the National Institute for Reproductive Health.

She specifically highlighted Columbus, Ohio, for doing more to promote abortion by enacting a buffer zone around city abortion facilities. Buffer zones violate free speech rights and reduce access to pregnancy/parenting support information by blocking peaceful pro-life advocates from reaching out to women before they go inside.
