'Bloody' pro-choice activists carry baby dolls outside Justice Amy Coney Barrett's home
2022-06-21
[NYPOST] Pro-choice activist muppets protested outside Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
 Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s house over the weekend, donning fake-blood-stained clothes and holding baby dolls.

The protesters marched to the judge’s Falls Church, Va., home Saturday and held signs including one with a coat hanger on it that said, "Not going back."

The youth activist muppets, part of a group called Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, tied their hands together with tape and held the plastic baby dolls.

"This is what Amy’s America looks like," one protester Ariana, 15, said in a video the group posted. "Children will be forced to give birth to children. Women will be silenced. Women will be invalidated. Women will be told they are less than.

"And that is not OK. We cannot let that happen. ... You can’t let this future happen to us. It’s not fair."

#8  ^ China does similar, not at any parent's behest, but because the gummint decides the individual in question is worth more "parted out..."

#7  re #1 and 6: I remember a science fiction story where kids were subject to abortion up to age 12 or 13. At any time, a parent could revoke their "Certificate of Desirability" and a government van could pick the kid up and take the to a euthanasia clinic (sort of like today's animal control vans).

#6  Let's take this a step further, using their own logic.

If parents determine the child is worthless or a harm to society, they should be given the right by law to Terminate Offsprings up to age 17?

Now that would make a great ScFi Movie....

Saw a movie which made me think just this, and can't remember the name of it. Small production and budget I'd guess, but really well written, acted, and produced especially considering.

Dystopian future, humanity's survivors are left in a rather nice looking oasis. Everyone is heavily sedated, especially emotions, gotta take pills every day. Oldest child gets chosen to be the next 'Librarian', giving him access to the archives which includes emotions of events. Has to learn to handle emotions. Quits taking his meds. Baby sister is deemed too curious or something, disappears one day, and only older brother notices, nobody else has any memory. IIRC the parents take the baby in and they have no memory of it. Eventually he becomes a problem with the authorities and he has to plan his escape before he disappears.

#5  ...I would love to ask these little angels what part of their performance they expect to sway me.

I'm a pretty reasonable guy - make your case like something resembling an intelligent person, and I'll listen. On the other hand, behave like a spoiled brat who thinks they can shock me into giving in...and you're liable to be there for a while.

#4  During Roman times a man inspected a baby and decided whether to recognize the child as his. Defective or rejected babies were left outside or “exposed.” The goal of the modern eugenicists is to incrementally reinstate the practice, thus the name Pro-Choice. In Roman times the servants would sometimes take the rejected children to the Christians instead for mercy. Modern Pro-Choice Christians are fundamentally divorced from Truth.

#3  NN2N1 that actually would be a great premise. The opposite of Logan's Run with kids forced to defend their worth. Maybe instead of aborting the 17 year old they get forced into some kind of penal battalion in the war against Eastasia.

#2  I see the FBI and "Justice" Dept. is all over this.
