Gubernatorial Candidate Chris Kurka Compares Dunleavy and Pierce to Pontious Pilot: Declares Them Unfit for Service

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the same week the U.S. Supreme Court announced its watershed decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, and to give the issue back to states to decide for themselves, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy issued a statement in which he washed his hands of any executive power, authority, or commitment to use his position to stop the killing of preborn children in Alaska.

Likewise in a statement released to the Alaska Watchman, Gubernatorial Candidate Charlie Pierce refused to make any commitment to defend the pre-born, or to state that the practice abortion is even wrong.

When asked to weigh-in concerning his opponents’ abortion statements, pro-life champion and Gubernatorial Candidate Christopher Kurka said, “What further proof is needed for Alaskans to realize Dunleavy and Pierce are not conservatives? They are both spineless cowards. SCOTUS just told them ‘You decide the legality of abortion in your own state’ and they retreated from the field before the fight against the murderous left in this state has even begun!”

Presenting copies of an “Alaska Right to Life, PAC Personhood Candidate Pledge,” signed by Governor Dunleavy on February 23, 2012, and on June 17, 2014; Kurka said, “Mike Dunleavy refuses to stop state funding for abortion and is a Liar, Oath Breaker, and Coward who must be stripped of the honor of serving a second term as Alaska’s Governor.”

According to the Pledge, which is routinely given to candidates seeking the Alaska Right to Life Endorsement and the support of Pro-life Voters, the document specifically spells-out that the petitioning candidate promises to, “affirm my support for a Human Life Amendment to the Alaska Constitution and other legislation and actions that would support these principals.”

To drive his point home for pro-life voters who may remain undecided on who to vote for, Kurka made a historical comparison to another governor stating:

“Community leaders and legal elites once asked a Roman Governor to make a difficult moral decision; to either defend the life of an innocent man, or release a murderous man from prison, and turn the innocent man over to the mob to be murdered. Though he knew it was wrong to turn the man over, he ignored his conscience and his duty to govern justly, literally washing his hands of the matter, he told the mob ‘You decide.’ As potential Governors of Alaska, both Dunleavy and Pierce have already communicated they will follow the example set by Governor Pilot so many years ago.”

According to Kurka, “A vote for the Kurka/Hueper ticket is a vote for Life. If you want more broken promises and death vote for Charlie and Mike.

Why Democrats Oppose Emancipation for the Unborn

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The end of Roe v. Wade is perhaps the greatest political and cultural event in a generation. It will change American politics forever, and — what’s more important — it will save the lives of countless unborn children. The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs is a great victory for the U.S. Constitution, for the American people, and for justice and truth and the common good.

It is also a turning point. We should now expect Democrats and the left to call more explicitly for violence, initially against places like crisis pregnancy centers and Catholic churches, as we have already seen, and eventually against ordinary people who disagree with them. We should expect not just calls for physical attacks against the justices in the Dobbs majority, but, as we have also already seen, attempts to carry out such attacks.

This violence will likely be accompanied by rhetoric that more explicitly posits abortion not just as a positive good — “shout your abortion” — but a necessary one for women to enjoy their full rights as citizens under the Constitution. The argument, already gaining steam in public discourse, is that without a constitutional right to kill the unborn, women are relegated to a kind of second-class status, stripped of their full humanity. This rhetoric will be used in part as a justification for violence, but it also reflects the actual views of Democrats and the left on abortion.

Indeed, the very first paragraph of Justice Stephen Breyer’s dissent in Dobbs makes this claim: “Respecting a woman as an autonomous being, and granting her full equality, meant giving her substantial choice over this most personal and most consequential of all life decisions.” Note the phrase “full equality.” Without a right to abortion, women do not have full equality, goes the argument.

It is not the first time Democrats have asserted absolute constitutional rights that for their vindication require the total abnegation of rights or even personhood of entire classes of people. The modern Democratic Party’s stance on abortion rights is almost indistinguishable from its antebellum stance on the constitutionality of slaveowner rights.

Woke Nurse Resigns After Tweeting About Not Wanting to Prescribe Meds to White Males

/0 Comments/in , /by

A nurse who tweeted about her desire to deny medications for conservative, white males in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade has since resigned from her position following online criticisms.

“I prescribe meds.. I can also choose not to prescribe them. So… from now on.. if you are a white male who votes conservative, your penis needs to ask God for the power to rise. No more Viagra,” user @shawnalynn_75 tweeted on Friday.

The user, who has since deleted their account, worked at the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center, which is located in Coles County, Illinois. Following public outcry, the health center released a statement condemning the post and said they would look into the matter.

Judge Blocks State’s Abortion Ban From Going Into Effect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Orleans Parish Civil District Judge Robin Giarrusso granted a temporary restraining order Monday that blocks Louisiana’s abortion ban from going into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Friday decision that sent abortion lawmaking back to state legislatures.

Hope Medical Group for Women, an abortion clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana, filed a petition after the SCOTUS decision activated the state’s “trigger law,” making abortion illegal in the state, reported KPLC.

The Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) worked with Boies Schiller Flexner LLP and Ellie Schilling to represent the abortion clinic, according to the outlet.

Giarrusso granted a temporary restraining order of the enforcement of the abortion ban allowing Lousiana clinics to continue performing abortions without fear of violating the state law banning abortion, KPLC reported.

More Than 2 Dozen States to Restrict Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thirteen states in the country are poised to enact immediate abortion bans and at least 13 more could quickly follow suit after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, leaving abortion rights up to the states to decide.

At least 13 states in the country have so-called “trigger laws” banning most abortions that will take effect immediately or within weeks of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion rights research group, those states are Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming, which just passed its trigger law in April.

There are also five additional states – Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, West Virginia and Wisconsin – that still have an abortion ban on the books from before Roe v. Wade that will go into effect now that the 1973 landmark law is overturned.

The Democratic governors of Michigan and Wisconsin have pushed back against those laws: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer filed a lawsuit in April asking the Michigan Supreme Court to stop enforcement of the state’s 1931 abortion ban, and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has called for the repeal of an 1849 state law that makes abortion a felony. (Read more from “More Than 2 Dozen States to Restrict Abortions” HERE)

A faith-based center for pregnant women in Colorado was vandalized and burned Saturday, and authorities are looking for those responsible.

Law enforcement officers were alerted to a fire at Life Choices in Longmont that morning, and upon arrival they saw the building was on fire and had messages scrawled on it that referenced the overturning of Roe v. Wade, according to the New York Post.

In a social media message, Longmont Fire, Police and Community Health and Resilience said the building sustained “fire and heavy smoke damage,” noting the property had been vandalized with black paint.

The agency added the case was being investigated as arson.

One photo showed the phrase, “Bans Off Our Bodies” spray painted at the entrance with the anarchy symbol above it on the wall.

Now it has met a response across the pond.

Armstrong, 50, made his personal declaration during a Friday night concert in London, letting his audience know he believes: “There’s too much f***ing stupid in the world.” (Read more from “Green Day Frontman Renouncing Citizenship Over Roe Reversal” HERE)

Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer Does Not Condemn Leftist Violence When Asked About Threats

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) did not condemn violence toward pro-life groups and individuals during an interview on Sunday when she was asked about “active threats” in her state.

Whitmer made the remarks during an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” with host Margaret Brennan as the topic of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade dominated the segment.

“I want to ask you about this homeland security warning that domestic violent extremists may intensify violence,” Brennan said. “In the bulletin that CBS obtained, it specifically mentioned an incident in Michigan, related to a pro-abortion rights group.”

One of the incidents mentioned in the memo “involved vandalism claimed by ‘Jane’s Revenge,’” a far-Left group, “on a building that houses a U.S. Representative’s campaign office and a pro-life advocacy group.”

“How concerned are you about violence?” Brennan asked. “What are you seeing on the ground?” (Read more from “Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer Does Not Condemn Leftist Violence When Asked About Threats” HERE)

ROE V. WADE OVERTURNED; This Is the First State to Outlaw Abortion

Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade in Landmark Opinion

By Fox News. The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and giving individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the practice altogether.

The ruling came in the court’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Republican-led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from taking place.

“We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court’s opinion.

Alito’s opinion began with an exploration and criticism of Roe v. Wade and its holding that while states have “a legitimate interest in protecting ‘potential life,” this interest was not strong enough to prohibit abortions before the time of fetal viability, understood to be at about 23 weeks into pregnancy.

“The Court did not explain the basis for this line, and even abortion supporters have found it hard to defend Roe’s reasoning,” Alito wrote. (Read more from “Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade in Landmark Opinion” HERE)

Missouri Bans All Abortions Minutes After SCOTUS Ruling Overturning Roe

By Newsweek. Minutes after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade Friday morning, Missouri became the first state to invoke a trigger law banning all abortions in the state, except in cases of medical emergency.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt issued an opinion that would trigger parts of a state House bill that outlaws almost all abortions in the state, with no exceptions for rape or incest.

“With this attorney general opinion, my Office has effectively ended abortion in Missouri, becoming the first state in the country to do so following the court’s ruling,” Schmitt said in a press release.
