The Salem witch trials were hysteria-driven events which did not provide those being accused with Constitutional rights (wasn't written yet) or British common law (not being used).

According to this scholarly article at...

http://news.lib.uchicago.edu/blog/2012/10/29/the-salem-witch-trials-a-legal-bibliography-for-halloween/

"Courts relied on three kinds of evidence: 1) confession, 2) testimony of two eyewitnesses to acts of witchcraft, or 3) spectral evidence (when the afflicted girls were having their fits, they would interact with an unseen assailant – the apparition of the witch tormenting them)."

No one was convicted based on spectral evidence alone. This leaves confession and two or more witnesses of the same event. A person could also prove he or she was not a witch by reciting the Lord's prayer.

There are numerous cases in which those who have committed sexual assault have used abortion, often coerced, as a way to cover up their crimes. Further, those who are merely using and abusing women (or girls) do not marry them and raise children together. They do not desire to financially support children of the women who have been impregnated from these criminal acts. And pimps do not want their income stream from prostitution to be disrupted by 9 months of pregnancy.

DiFi and the Dems know that Brett Kavanaugh is very pro-life and that this fact alone is completely inconsistent with the sexual allegations being levied against him.

2. Rapists, groomers, pimps and similar sexual deviants

Yes, bloggers are a big part of the problem.

When you get down to it, our opposition are basically communists who carry the D for electability’s sake until their consolidation of power is complete.

It wasn’t long ago that they even denied that they were socialists, but now they’re starting to embrace it. But, they’re not socialists. As Ayn Rand once observed:

“There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.”

Our opposition doesn’t believe in the democratic process. They believe in absolute power, and it if coincides with victory at the ballot box, so much the better. If not, it’s coup time.

On another subject concerning Texas-...from email re: Gosnell movie.

Planned Parenthood are holding a posh $400 Gala Dinner at the Hyatt Hotel in Austin where they are honoring their former President Cecile Richards.

So we have decided to have a simultaneous screening of the Gosnell Movie at the same time in the same hotel.

As you know we wanted to tell the Gosnell story because it is crucial that the truth is told.

Well now we are going to bring that truth to where it’s really needed. We are going to show Planned Parenthood and their friends in the mainstream media that there is an appetite in Texas for the truth to be told.

And unlike Planned Parenthood we won’t charge you $400 to see Gosnell - The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer. It is free - you just have to register here. Alfonzo Rachel who stars in the movie will be presenting the event which is being hosted by the Texas Alliance for Life.

Below are the details of the event. It’s really important that we get a crowd. Planned Parenthood and the media will be watching. We need to show the world that there is an appetite for the truth in Austin, Texas.

Event Date

September 29, 2018

Event Time

6 pm

Location

Hyatt Regency Austin 208 Barton Springs Rd. Austin, TX 78704

Registration HERE:

Rapists all being pro-life doesn’t hold water. The sexual problems with priests/ministers in the church disproves that.
