Absolutely terrible news if this holds
Absolutely wonderful news if this holds.
Omg! More living babies!!!
Terrible terrible news.
Just stop and listen to yourself once in a while. Itâs a dark picture you paint my man.
You are an arbiter of death. At every point you advocate and approve of killing innocent people for your ideas.
Itâs maddening how abortion supporters completely glaze over this part and simply refer to âreproductive rights.â
Absolutely terrible that this was leaked. There are only 45 people on the planet that know this information.
This is a clear attempt to undermine the court. Sick stuff.
So the leak had to have come from a law clerk. There are only 36 of them, 5 for each of the justices. What an incredible breach of trust and duty.
Sounds like the decision is probably 5-4 and this is an attempt to get Kavanaugh to cave to the liberal mob.
Even liberals like that weirdo Jeffrey Toobin are saying this is an unprecedented and terrible development.
Wrong thread.
The mole has no more power. Heâs been neutered.

I think Roberts rules to uphold the Mississippi law but not overturn Roe v Wade.
I think itâs hilarious. From a strategy perspective, not a single thing could mobilize for the midterms on the left more than this. The way this is written, they say, could affect everything from gay marriage to contraception.
The national popular vote has gone Democrat every single time outside of 1 since 1988. There are just more of them than there are of the right. Demographics arenât magic. Go after it all, contraception, gay marriage, all of it. Letâs see how the cards fall, shall we?
It is odd, however, that Alito cites in his opinion a 17th C jude Sir Matthew Hale as he sought to make the case that justices misinterpreted history in their Roe V Wade decision.
âTwo treatises by Sir Matthew Hale likewise described abortion of a quick child who died in the womb as a âgreat crimeâ and a 'great misprisionâŚâ the decision states.
You can debate the idea of âpersonhoodâ, but most agree that a woman shouldnât be forced to carry a dead fetus to term, that could ultimately kill her. Hale also âensured women were executed for being witches.â
âA 12 mo. sixpenny pamphlet published by the well known E. Curll âat the Dial and Bible against St. Dunstanâs Church in Fleet Streetâ was issued in 1712 under the title Witchcraft Farther Displayâd, along with an account of Jane Wenham since her condemnation and also an account of the trials in 1661 at Cork of Florence Newton; this contains an abstract of the trial before Sir Matthew Hale in 1664 at Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk, of Amy Duny and Rose Cullender, who were both convicted, March 10, and both were hanged, March 17, 1664, wholly unrepentant and denying the crime,â recalled the Spring 1926 issue of the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology.
The two women were convicted of âbewitching Elizabeth, Anne and William Durent, Jane Bocking, Susan Chandler, Elizabeth and Deborah Pacey (or Pacy),â the Journal recalled. A colic baby was left with Amy Duny one night crying desperately for relief and Duny let it suck on something. The Journal explained that in the early 1900s a mother would use âcastor oil or its equivalent.â She took the baby to a doctor known for curing âbewitched children.â
âThat wise man advised her to hang the childâs blanket all day in the chimney corner and at night wrap the child in it, and if she saw anything in it not to be afraid, but to throw it in the fire. She did as directed, a great toad fell out of the blanket and ran about the floor (toads seem to have run in those days),â said the century-old journal. âA young man (not named or produced as a witness) catchâd this Toad and held it in the Fire with a Pair of Tongs: immediately it made a great Noise, to which succeeded a Flash like Gunpowder, followed by a Report as great as that of a Pistol; and after this, the Toad was no more seen.â
This âevidenceâ was used to not only convict one woman but hang her for witchcraft. âIt obtained credence from men of the deservedly high standing of HaleâŚâ
There was then an accusation that Duny and Rose Cullender appeared as a vision to two children who suddenly couldnât open their mouths. The children proclaimed âThere stands Amy Duny,â âThere stands Rose Cullender!â
âThe Fits were not alike,â described the accusations. âSometimes they were lame on the Right Side, sometimes on the Left: sometimes so sore that they could not bear to be touchâd; sometimes perfectly well in other Respects but they could not hear; at other times they could not see; sometimes they lost their speech for one, two and once eight days together.â
This was used to justify that Cullender was a witch and she too was hanged.
âConvicted on Thursday, March 13, 1665, they were executed on Monday, March 17, Sir Matthew Hale being so satisfied with the verdict, that he refused to grant a reprieve,â the Journal recalled.
Hale also had a history of supporting marital rape in his cases, and devised the âconsent theoryâ in the 17th C stating that a husband cannot be guilty of rape.
âBut the husband cannot be guilty of rape committed by himself upon his lawful wife, for by their mutual matrimonial consent and contract the wife hath given herself up to this kind unto her husband which she cannot retract,â wrote Hale.
Sir Matthew Hale is the same legal influence that Alito uses to justify his opinion
Poor guy, youâre literally psychotic and nobody cares about you.
GSC isnât interested in context. He prefers simple conspiracy theories like pretending Roberts is a âmoleâ for some reason, whatever good that does.

Hahahahaha best comedic post Iâve seen in a minute.
Edit
Yes, I know it is true. But funny to think about
Seeing patterns. How dare I!
There will be some motivation on the left for sure. But Stagflation is going to hurt bad. I canât see a way the Dems donât get crushed in the midterms. Absolutely demolished.
Oh, I think your team leaked it, actually. I think it was someone who was a die hard who wanted to lock the decision in place without any changes. Leak it and if you switch language now, it appears your catering.
Funny though, this is something that has been the right has been campaigning on for 50 years. It gets leaked and now nobody wants to stand up for it at all, just talk about the leak instead.
Itâs almost like it was a wedge issue that manipulated people for 50 years and you really didnât want it to pass considering a sizable majority disagree with you.
