Let My Fetus Go

President Obama's nominee to head the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel once compared "forced pregnancy" with slavery. Now Republicans are considering a filibuster to block her confirmation.

The controversy stems from comments made 20 years ago by Dawn Johnsen, a law professor at Indiana University, whose nomination is pending before the full Senate.

In a brief filed when she was a lawyer with the National Abortion Rights Action League, Johnsen cited a footnote that said forcing women to bear children was "disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the 13th Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state's asserted interest."
And here I compare "intentional abortion" with murder. Oh, wait - there is no comparison. It is murder . . .

"Involuntary servitude!" Oh Heaven forbid, that people take responsiblity for THEIR own sexual actions!

The reason sex is SACRED is because it produces live human beings--it's not just for our amusement--just because they want to only have the fun--with no responsibility attached.

Then when, gee, a baby--a human is conceived--just kill the child!!! So you don't have to be a "slave" to the child?

I suppose that's what they will say to Jesus when they die--"I didn't want to be a slave to the way You set up procreation. I just wanted to have the fun."

Then when Jesus directs them to Hell they will say--"oh, well I didn't really want to believe in Hell either."

The slaughter continues.

-AND- We are supporting this epitome of selfish arrogance, this culture of death. If we believe that God in heaven is not watching and counting the judgement we are fools.

DH...never forget...the left always uses moral equivalency for all of their arguments...to them, it's all about feelings, not morals or values.

Murdering a baby in the womb...it's ok...'Woman's Health'...executing a convicted killer...it's not ok...'state sanctioned killing.'

One does not equal the other, in their twisted and perverted view.
