I always find it interesting how so many Democratic Party voting males push hard for abortion on demand
Chuck Schumer: Our Rights Hang in the Balance
Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement has created the most important vacancy on the Supreme Court in our lifetimes. Whoever fills Justice Kennedy’s seat will join an evenly divided court with the ability to affect the laws of the United States and the rights of its citizens for generations. Enormously important issues hang in the balance: the right of workers to organize, the pernicious influence of dark money in politics, the right of Americans to marry who they love, the right to vote.
Perhaps the most consequential issues at stake in this Supreme Court vacancy are affordable health care and a woman’s freedom to make the most sensitive medical decisions about her body. The views of President Trump’s next court nominee on these issues could well determine whether the Senate approves or rejects them.
President Trump’s own words tell us that his nominee to the court will almost certainly vote to overturn Roe v. Wade and eviscerate affordable access to health care for millions of Americans. President-elect Donald Trump said in November of 2016 that “I’m pro-life; the judges will be pro-life.†During the campaign, he speculated that after he appointed two or three judges to the bench, Roe v. Wade “will go back to the individual states.â€
In practice, sending Roe v. Wade back to the states would claw back a constitutional freedom to abortion that all American women have had for over 40 years. There are at least 20 states poised to ban abortion immediately if the 1973 decision is overturned, and legislatures in Iowa, Mississippi and Louisiana have already passed strict anti-abortion laws that could trigger challenges to the decision.
Abortion on demand is the number one belief among Democrats. How it came about that Democrats must believe in aborting the unborn at any time with zero restrictions above anything else is incredible. Seriously, this is what Chuck and the other Dems are worried about first and foremost regarding Trump’s next SCOTUS pick: the ability of a person who got pregnant from having irresponsible, unprotected sex with a person they do not want to have a baby with at a time when they do not want to have a baby.
If you do not want a Supreme Court Justice who will overturn Roe v. Wade and undo the Affordable Care Act, tell your senators they should not vote for a candidate from Mr. Trump’s preordained list. Democrat, Republican, independent, liberal or conservative — we should all want a more representative process for choosing the next Supreme Court justice.
We have a representative process: it’s called a General Election. Trump won. He ran a better campaign. Hillary is Hillary, and did things like passing out on 9/11 and failing to campaign in needed states.
