Planned Parenthood: 'The fate of our rights' depends on Ginsburg replacement
2020-09-19
[The Hill] Planned Parenthood sounded the alarm Friday night after the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, noting that abortion rights could be decided on the high court based on her replacement.

"Tonight we honor that legacy, but tomorrow, we’re going to need to get to work to preserve the ideals she spent her life’s work defending. Because this is not an understatement: The fate of our rights, our freedoms, our health care, our bodies, our lives, and our country depend on what happens over the coming months," Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson said in a statement.

McGill said the Senate should not consider a replacement for Ginsburg in an election year, indicating that a potential pick from President Trump would likely be opposed to the same abortion rights that Ginsburg championed on the high court.

#15  If it weren't such an upsetting topic, I would still like to hear an honest debate about artificial rights generated as a whim by the Justice system.

#13  #5 How quickly "convenience" becomes SOP, or the 'go to' solution. Moving the NYC elderly into care facilities during the COVID outbreak, a possible example ?

Certes.

Note the background and specialty of this leading physician in Manhattan who was caught snatching an elderly neighbor's statue of Columbus this week as a way of striking a blow against white supremacy, or something like that.

"[Statue-snatcher Dr. Sean] Morrison’s attitude is all the more disturbing when you consider that he is a luminary of the palliative care industry, the Ellen and Howard Katz Chair of Mount Sinai’s Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine.

"He and his wife, Dr Diane Meier, 68, also a Mount Sinai specialist, each have received grants from billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Institute, which stands accused by pro-life group LifeTree, of promoting palliative care as “euthanasia by stealth,” by providing “comfort” instead of treatment to very ill or elderly patients."

#12  Nominating Amy Barrett will win over many of the suburban squishes -- esp Catholic women -- in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. That way victory lies.

#11  And don't forget that Amy Barrett raped someone somewhere sometime.

#10  At least politically, the logical nomination is Amy Barrett, a Scalia protege. The only personal attack the Dems could mount on her appeals court nomination was that she is Catholic -- which is now kind of awkward considering that Biden has been running around claiming to be Catholic (a pro-abortion Catholic, which I guess is sort of like an Air Force pilot who doesn't believe in flight.) Although by now they've had time to line up some people who'll swear that Barrett stole their lunch money.

#9  "You have a right to be afraid of invisible made up sh*t." It's part of the "penumberal emanations..." And if you don't believe in it you are childish, unscientific and raycisss. Got it?

#6  That's a question for that "good Catholic" Nancy Pelosi. Would she personally have an abortion? I don't know for sure, but I would doubt it.

#5  /\ "Well. Were you against it or only against it when it was convenient?"

How quickly "convenience" becomes SOP, or the 'go to' solution. Moving the NYC elderly into care facilities during the COVID outbreak, a possible example ?

#4  Do you really want to have this conversation with St. Peter:

"Well. Were you against it or only against it when it was convenient?"

#3  The rubbish from Planned Parenthood is simply alarmist blather.

There is no way Roe against Wade gets turned over. No way. Never. Don't have to like it, but it ain't gonna happen.

#2  Abortion is the most bizarre fetish. The need to have one is eminently avoidable...

#1  I am even more convinced much of the discord in our country can be traced to the lust of infanticide.
