Amy Coney Barrett quotes:


“Never. It’s never appropriate for a judge to impose that judge’s personal convictions, whether they derive from faith or anywhere else on the law.” — 2017 confirmation hearing.

“If you’re asking whether I take my faith seriously and I’m a faithful Catholic — I am, although I would stress that my personal church affiliation or my religious belief would not bear in the discharge of my duties as a judge.” — Confirmation hearing in 2017 before the Senate Judiciary Committee considering her nomination to be a 7th Circuit appeals judge, after Sen. Dick Durbin asked her if she was orthodox Catholic.

“I would decide cases according to rule of law, beginning to end, and in the rare circumstance that might ever arise — I can’t imagine one sitting here now — where I felt that I had some conscientious objection to the law, I would recuse. I would never impose my own personal convictions upon the law. — 2017 confirmation hearing.

Trump seems to think that appointing a Judge means that they will be blindly loyal to him, and will simply do his bidding, forgetting about something called the Constitution.

I think that is exactly what he is thinking and planning on. Look at what he turned Barr into. He wants them on his side in the event the election has to be contested by him. In a way , he wants to have the Supreme court as an extension of him...... His aim is to consolidate power. IMHO

Whatever I call them? What does that mean? Does it matter what I call them? And no, I have no problem with them. Do you?

Amy Coney Barrett past quote on Roe V Wade:
“I don’t think abortion or the right to abortion would change. I think some of the restrictions would change ... The question is how much freedom the court is willing to let states have in regulating abortion.” — 2016 remarks on how a conservative Supreme Court could alter current law on abortion, saying it wasn’t likely to try and overturn Roe v. Wade. She said the questions the high court would be willing to address would be states’ restrictions on abortions, including how abortion clinics operate.

Right now they allow a full term child to be born, then decide if it should live or die..

That's not abortion, that's murder.

Liberals use abortion as birth control..

Only time a woman should get an abortion, is if she was raped, or the birth could kill the mother..

BTW, thank your mother for choosing life..

That's exactly what he wants, loyalty from everyone around him. Barr is a sycophant, like the rest Trump has placed around him.

You've been watching way too much Fox News Boomer, read the following:

https://www.politifact.com/factchec...hecking-donald-trumps-tweet-saying-democrats/

Liberals use abortion as birth control? While it can't be denied that there have been women who have abused the freedom to seek an abortion and that there needs to be stricter laws related to that, there is no way that you can claim that only Liberals would be guilty of that. That's simply nonsensical and you know it. Are you forgetting the Republican pro-lifer big wig politicians I posted about who have all supported abortion behind the scenes? Or are you just ignoring that part of the conversation because you hate being wrong? Just like you're wrong about the baseless claims that Biden is a pedophile. I'll dig up that post on the Republicans who behind their sanctimonious pro-life positions have had a hand in abortions, and repost it for ya.

And worth asking, who are you to dictate the reasons a woman should seek an abortion should she choose to do so? Has a condom ever broke during intercourse between teens? Have other birth control measures ever failed? Has a guy never promised to "pull out in time" all resulting in an unwanted pregnancy for both parties who are in no position to raise a child? Has a woman ever been in an abusive relationship where children born into that scenario could suffer great long term physical or sexual abuse? Should she be forced to bring a child into that world? Who are you to tell that woman that she must have that baby? You're not pro life Boomer, you're pro-birth. You don't look past birth and take into consideration the difficult, abusive life a child may have because you, Boomer, demanded they have it. You gong to be concerned about them then?

Thank my mother for choosing life? Is that supposed to fire me up? If so it failed.

Here you go Boomer, a repost on those stand up Republicans pro-lifers:


The left's way of not taking responsibility? You really think no Republican has never sought out an abortion? Or that no Republican has supported someone they know/care about/had an affair with who has sought out an abortion? Are you serious? Okay, I'll play, gladly.

Ever hear of a fella by the name of Scott DeJarlais? The Republican Rep. From Tennessee? The big pro-lifer? The guy who supported his wife who had not one, but two abortions? Oh and don't forget his mistress (her name is hard to recall considering she was one of six, so you'll forgive me if I can't provide it) who he also urged to have an abortion, I mean how does one explain that to wifey? And he better slow down, that's three holes out of ten punched on his hypocrite card. Is this the traditional family you're talking about?

Or maybe you're speaking of Elliot Broidy, the big Trump supporter/former Deputy Finance Chairman of the RNC in 2017 and 2018. Yeah he's the guy who agreed to pay a Playboy Playmate $1.6 million to keep hush hush their affair and abort their baby in order to "protect his family." I wonder if he was thinking of his family when her ankles were up behind his ears. Ahh yes, just your average traditional family.

And then of course there's Tim Murphy, another pro-life Republican, this one out of Pennsylvania. Yeah he embraced traditional family values too, until 2018 that is. That's when he resigned after it came to light he urged his mistress to have... you guessed it... an abortion.

Mistresses and abortions and payoffs oh my! Me thinks the right has played it's part in eroding this family unit you so cherish.

WHERE does this happen?? That cannot fit into any legal requirements that abortion clinics need to comply with.

Not sure men should be involved in the decision making for an abortion........unless they are the dad of the fetus. Exceptions being rapists.
It should NOT be a religious issue ........but it should fit certain perimeters of the law. eg: It should not be done at the term of gestation when the fetus is viable. Those that oppose the abortion rites ....... don't have to have one.
No one has the rite to IMPOSE / force their beliefs on anyone else. expressing an opinion is another matter.....if asked for .

Men shouldn't be involved in the decision making for an abortion, unless they are the father is one hundred percent on point. The reasons a woman may seek an abortion can be varied and no one on the outside has any business dictating what she should do with her life decisions. Yeah, if you don't want an abortion, don't get one. And religion has no place in this debate, period.
