Dem Sen. Kelly: I Support Eliminating the Filibuster to Codify Abortion Rights
Breitbart ^ | 05/05/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/05/2024 8:18:30 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Mark Kelly (R-AZ) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he supported eliminating the filibuster to codify abortion rights.

Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s talk about what’s happening in your state, Arizona, is now effectively ground zero for the national fight over abortion rights. This week, the state legislature voted to repeal Arizona’s ban that went all the way back to 1864. Do you think the repeal minimizes the urgency that some voters will feel to get out and vote for Democrats?”

They will never understand. The right to kill your child cannot ever be a right.

This isn’t really about abortion. It is about taking the next step to moving the federal government permanent one party rule like we see in California, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, New York, and most northeastern states. Abortion is just an emotional issue carefully manipulated through a sophisticated propaganda campaign to win votes.

A year is coming when the Democrats secure control of the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. The filibuster will be ended in the Senate and a hard left agenda to federalize control of elections, impose draconian regulations on gun ownership, give the bureaucracy more power to regulate the everyday lives of citizens, and legislation to restrict individual rights. Likely statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will be passed, essentially ensuring a Democrat lock on the Electoral College. The voting laws federalizing elections will enshrine extended voting periods, mail-in ballots, vote harvesting and possibly even internet voting. Certainly universal ranked choice voting is a one of the goals.

Once the Democrat party is fully in control of voting administration and oversight nationally it is game over. One party rule at the national level will become permanent and with that power position they can begin bending individual “red” states through law fare, control of federal funding, and the heavy hand of thousand of bureaucrats. Once the national government and 3/4 of the states are firmly in control of leftist Democrats, amending the Constitution, or discarding it completely becomes an option.

This really isn’t about abortion. It is cover for killing the filibuster. Once they do it the firewall is gone. What follows will be catastrophic

Sen. Kelly, SCOTUS ruled that abortion is an issue for states to decide. What part of the Constitution empowers Congress to ‘codify abortion rights’?

God created life.

Democrats kill what God created.

Some republicans agree with the destructive left.

Anybody that is pro-abortion, is anti-God.

The Baby Killers can “codify” whatever they want on abortion bans. It’s will still be unconstitutional. I’d like them to try and amend the Constitution for unlimited abortions nationwide; that would make it constitutional if it passed (it wouldn’t).

The irony is these same scumbags on the Left call Trump a dictator when the reality is he’s a believer in states’ rights as per the 10th Amendment, which is the amendment that applies to abortion in every way and never applied to Roe as a federal policy.

Aw, come on Breitbart editors. As the title noted, Kelly is a Democrat senator from Arizona.

Anyway, it’s no surprise that the Democrats would destroy the filibuster to get their filthy agenda passed. I suspect we will see more of this soon.

Nobody on Free Republic ever talks about the federal law which bans partial birth abortion.

That law was upheld by the US Supreme Court.

I mention that because, legally speaking , we have a legal precedent that the Federal Government can indeed pass laws regulating abortion.

It is not just an issue where only states can pass state laws on the subject.

US Senator and former astronaut who was elected in McCain’s seat and is married to Gabby Giffords.

Completely vile person if you read his past statements.

Seems to me the reversal of Roe v Wade by this USSC has already determined that abortion is a states rights issue and that any statute codification by the US legislature STILL wouldn’t Constitutionalize that so-called right to abortion. IOW, should said codification occur it could very well be deterined Unconstitutional.

“Partial birth” is just a way to soft-talk the act of killing a baby while the umbilical cord is still attached. It’s a murder decision, not abortion. Fine line I know, but there is a difference.
