Natalie Portman: We can help Obama win without ‘talking trash’
The Washington Examiner ^ | 09/08/12 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 09/08/2012 4:44:10 AM PDT by theruleshavechanged

“As a new mother – as all of you as mothers, its hard to hear, you know, the word ‘right to life.’ I think as our opponent because we all cherish life, we all love the miracle, the absolute wonder of what our bodies can do and what we are able to create, and we are lucky enough to be able to create as women.” Portman said.

“But we also know that losing our right to choose means that we put our sisters in jeopardy,” she warned. “It doesn’t end abortion, it just ends freedom to abortion and safe abortion.”

Must not cherish life all that much if they are willing to kill off the life inside them.

The issue isn’t a ‘right to choose’. The ‘issue’ is whether a woman can get a government-paid abortion, just as Sandra Fluke’s ‘sisters’ want government-paid birth control.

The have rampant abortion now through planned parenthood, and PP is making an absolute stinking killing in the killing business. What they want now, as all liberals do, is someone else to pay for it.

Over 55 million future American citizens murdered in the womb. And we wonder why our nation is in decline? God will have the last word on our evil behavior.

Too late.

Proverbs 17:14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, So abandon the quarrel before it breaks out.

not to mention when the government pays for abortions, it makes us all co conspirators in the “new morality” where individual choice trumps all else

“God forbid” anyone should consider abortion as immoral and let women know if that make that choice, they are on their own before God...

or should that be “government forbid”

right Natalie?

This is the one time the phrase “You didn’t make that!” is absolutely spot on. God brings about the miracle of life! It is God’s creation that is being destroyed during an abortion. It is God whose heart is [most] broken when the tragedy of abortion occurs. But the Left removes God from this enterprise and now the individual can make personal “choices” as to how/if they want to treat the unborn as a human being or not. Suddenly, they are capable, through individual freedom and liberty, to make decisions about other people’s lives without any controls or restraints or accountability. They can take full and personal control of this situation—no outside interference whatsoever! But when it comes to business...well, now you need a higher (not HIGHER, but higher) authority to dictate to you how to run things.

Hypocrites!

“It doesn’t end abortion, it just ends freedom to abortion and safe abortion.”

Substitute the word “murder” for abortion, and the true meaning of her sentence is revealed.

(1) I don’t turn to actresses for wisdom.

(2) you and tour body do not create anything; Someone Else made that happen.

(3) Dear Leader is aiding and abetting a madman who wishes to turn your home town into rubble.

[snip] “I’m Jewish and we have a prayer and Passover where we say, where you always say “If God only gave us this, it would have been enough. The word is ‘Dayenu,’ and I feel like the same thing. Portman added. “It’s enough! He’s done enough! He deserves it.”

Just more of the same, slip in selective passages for those who know nothing of what came before or after and refuse to adhere to other passages that are not in line with their liberal progressive dogma.

Citing a passage does not make one a practicing or even knowledgeable follower of the faith. If they hypocritically profess it does, then lets try this one on those in the room who profess to be Christian, Matthew 26:34.

That should send a few shivers up their spine.

So, Ms. Portman, being Jewish, how does this square as to the teachings of your faith and the main point of your speech? How much credibility does it lend to your use of a passage? Zero, none, nada.

[snip] As a general rule, abortion in Judaism is permitted only if there is a direct threat to the life of the mother by carrying the fetus to term or through the act of childbirth. In such a circumstance, the baby is considered tantamount to a rodef, a pursuer6 after the mother with the intent to kill her. Nevertheless, as explained in the Mishna,7 if it would be possible to save the mother by maiming the fetus, such as by amputating a limb, abortion would be forbidden. Despite the classification of the fetus as a pursuer, once the baby's head or most of its body has been delivered, the baby's life is considered equal to the mother's, and we may not choose one life over another, because it is considered as though they are both pursuing each other.[snip]

Do you get the impression that anyone in the Democratic Party believes in, much less fears, God? They are a combination of Sodom/Gomorrah and the dancing around the golden calf.

“Do you get the impression that anyone in the Democratic Party believes in, much less fears, God?”

Communism/socialism/progressiveism strives to replace God in society with government.

That is why historically, it has always been an epic failure, and history must be revised to get the newest crops of useful idiots on board.

Women are obviously more comfortable with killing than men. We should send them all off to war.

Natalie Hershlag, better known by her stage name Natalie Portman, is an actress with “dual” American and Israeli citizenship. ............................ This coming from someone who lost one of her family in Auschwitz? Hmmmmmm you would think she’d be against any type of taking a human life?
