Support for Roe. V. Wade
Reaches All-Time High

Townhall, by Daniel Doherty

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/22/2013 11:31:01 AM

Regardless of one’s position on the High Court’s infamous decision forty years ago today to legalize abortion “[a]t any stage of pregnancy, for any reason,” most Americans -- not to mention legal scholars and academics -- recognize that Roe is bad Constitutional law. Nevertheless, support for the controversial ruling has reached an all-time high, at least according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll: Forty years after the Supreme Court legalized abortion in its Roe v. Wade decision, seven out of 10 Americans support the groundbreaking rulings, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Comments:
This is terribly depressing. I thought I had read that the pro-life groups were now a majority. Was I ever wrong.

I wouldn´t trust any poll coming from NBC, even if the WSJ is partially involved.

The poll was probably taken yesterday in DC on the Mall...

70% of Americans can´t even SPELL Roe. V. Wade..

Lets see...

"Do your support a womans right to choose?" Asked that way, big support for Roe V Wade.

"Do you support a womans right to kill her child?" Would bring a different answer...

Reminds me of all of the non-believing stories, or breaking scandals right before Easter that the MSM "just happens" to cover.

I can´t imagine this being true, but if it is, it goes a long way in explaining why we have such a blood thirsty president.

All-time high support? Not if the gruesome facts and procedures involved were shown on the public airwaves!

This is a result of the leftist domination of media and academia, plain and simple. And also of Republicans/conservatives doing the same things over and over and over.

But the thing here is that Roe V Wade may be supported, but abortion isn´t so much. Clinton´s empty: safe, legal and rare, promise is indeed something people prefer. The same people who don´t want laws to take guns don´t want laws to make these other decisions.

However, abortion is evil. So how do we stop it? By changing tack. Information. Flood the zone. Make certain that girls see 3D sonogram pictures. That they learn about gestation from conception to birth.

By focusing on overturning Roe v Wade, the life movement has given the information (or squashing of it) advantage to the leftist, death community.

Most people are too young to know that the abortion movement was started to reduce the number of blacks being born into society (they claimed it was to control a growing population.) Of course, now it simply represents a means of permitting recreational, unprotected sex, with minimal consequences. Besides, it is a freebie for many.... Freebies from the taxpayer always become popular.

I guess when Texas finally gets fed up and seceeds, the sluts and prostitutes can go back to their home states to have their NØbamacare provided free abortions...

Two earth changing events took place on January 22. The first was in 1972. The deaths of millions of innocent babies was authorized by the murderous monsters on the Supreme Court of the United Sates. It is truly one of the darkest days in world history.

The second event was the birth of my daughter, one of God´s sweetest and most precious daughters. She was born in Fairbanks, Alaska on January 22, 1977. She came quick! The doctor only had one arm in his gown. He caught her in his bare hand. Otherwise she would have been dangling off the end of the delivery table, swinging like a soap on a rope! Happy birthday sweetheart! It is truly one of the brightest days in world history!

Everyone rejoice!

The woman´s right to choose, and the woman murdering her baby are the same thing. Hence it is each woman that decides to abort, who is most at fault for each abortion..

Until anti-abortion people start concentrating on changing the woman´s mind who has decided to get an abortion, to NOT getting one, much effort is wasted.

I see a parallel development in this process.

Where have all the real men gone?

Oh sure, some of them would want the child but are in fact powerless to keep a woman from having an abortion. But face it, how many times have you heard of that happening?

Instead, "men" are in the forefront of all this, helping with the decision to abort, demanding it, or wimpily going along with it. What kind of a man takes his girlfriend to an abortion appointment? What kind of a man allows his child--especially late term--to be murdered under his watch. I am NOT talking about rape victims, incest, etc, I am talking about normal, healthy babies that are just "inconvenient".

What kind of man contributes to the Townhall forums, sitting on their useless brains and typing out support of all abortions?

What has happened to men in this country? Aside from a dwindling minority, nothing but irresponsible, braying, wimpy cowards that can´t handle a baby, can´t handle responsibility, and have no idea what it means to be a man.

I read an interesting article that discussed this poll and after reading it, I wasn´t concerned by this poll. It was the way the questions were phrased.

Abortion will continue to grow as humans continue to be more and more selfish. It is cheaper for a man to pay for an abortion than it is to pay child support.

That´s one of the big reasons the pubbies lost in 2012. People, especially women, do believe the GOP is anti-woman. Look at Akin and Mourdock as just two immediate examples. The GOP ran them for the Senate of the United States of America!!!

The media is just drumming up support for 0-hole´s funding of Mass Murderhood, because 55.6 million dead babies is not enough to satisfy the libs.

In America, every hour, around the clock, seven days a week, all year long, for forty years- a kindergarten class full of twenty American children are murdered by a ´Woman´s Right To Choose´.
Murder is murder.
And this terrible murder is particularly gruesome and grisly.
Always.

Abortion is murder - this needs to be repeated loud and often. The same people who will support the murder of unborn children will curiously fail to defend those lucky enough to be born by forcing them into gun free schools for indoctrination in communism. Priorities please - respect life. Remeber Beethoven was almost lost to the world before he came into it.

Show photos of the babies after the abortion. If this poll was true there would be an abortion clinic next to every school.

Since this nation´s majority seem to find infanticide "legal" then I see little moral compunction to feel sorry for the loss of ANY life. If this current debate was really about "caring for and protecting our children", then that is nothing but hypocracy of the highest order in light of abortion on demand.

Since so few democrats breed successfully, being pro abortion, sterile from sexually transmitted disease , inbred or gay, they must grow their ranks with illegal aliens soon to be given amnesty.

National Review Hammers Gang

Breitbart´s Big Journalism, by Warner Todd Huston    Original Article
Posted By: KarenJ1- 6/19/2013 10:40:14 PM     Post Reply
In a new editorial, the folks at National Review came out strongly against the immigration plan being sponsored by the "Gang of Eight," a group of Senators that includes Marco Rubio (R-FL), calling the bill "Rubio´s Folly." National Review urges Senator Rubio to vote against the bill he has helped craft. It slams the proposed legislation as, "an amnesty-first, enforcement-maybe program drawn up mainly to reflect the priorities of 11 million citizens of other countries rather than the concerns of more than 300 million citizens of the United States." The editors point out that many of the

A pair of centrist senators introduced a bill Wednesday to soften the employer mandate in President Obama´s healthcare law. The healthcare law requires employers to offer coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Some employers have said they will reduce workers´ hours to avoid the mandate. Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bill to move the threshold to 40 hours per week, saying the employer mandate should match the traditional definition of a full-time worker. "What we´ve tried to do is be reflective of the businesses we work with,"

Marco Rubio made another one of his seemingly endless appearances on Sean Hannity’s program to advocate amnesty legislation. Rubio told Hannity that he has opposed amendments by Republican Senators to improve the legislation’s enforcement provisions because a new enforcement provision will be proposed tomorrow that is tougher and more effective than what has been proposed so far. Rand Paul’s amendment, which Rubio voted against, would have given Congress, not the Department of Homeland Security, the ultimate authority to determine if the border is effectively secure. It would also have included enhanced security measures, such as requiring a

To a remarkable degree, liberalism has been institutionalized as an official ideology, funded by your tax dollars. This editorial in Investors Business Daily explains, in shocking detail, how Obamacare is being used to fund Democratic Party operatives and drive Democratic Party enrollment: The Obama administration granted a whopping $910 million to California to set up its insurance exchange. That money is not for bandages, surgery, nurses and doctors to care for the sick. …Shockingly, the $910 million is slated for bureaucracy, including rich compensation packages for exchange employees ($360,000 a year for the executive director) and contracts for

Kaiser: Faith in Obamacare
plummets to just 35%

The popularity of Obamacare has crashed to its lowest level in nearly two years, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Kaiser´s monthly tracking poll found that just 35 percent have a favorable view of the health reform being put into place Jan. 1 while 43 percent view it unfavorably. The favorability rating of Obamacare has been worse only once, in October 2011, when it fell to 34 percent. Not only is the June poll bad news for the president as his administration struggles to have the health reform program ready for people to begin signing up

Americans are already wary of the federal government having collected their phone records, but now we have Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., setting up a slippery slope of more and more data collection. Earlier today, a Washington Examiner editorial warned that "if phone records are useful now in stopping terrorist attacks, how long before politicians and bureaucrats decide archiving the entire phone call would be even more useful? How long before the limitations and safeguards now in place are set aside?" Within a few hours, King provided an illustration of precisely what the Examiner editors fear. Responding to a

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is feeling the heat as potential GOP allies are now turning against his immigration reform bill. Republican colleagues who were previously viewed as possible “yes” votes are keeping their distance from the 1,075-page measure. On Wednesday, conservative activists ripped Rubio and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — both sponsors of the bipartisan immigration measure — at a Capitol Hill rally. The crowd, which was protesting the bill’s effort to put millions of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship, booed at the mention of Rubio’s name during the six-hour event.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete
