President Trump Names Two Pro-Life Advocates as Federal Judges, Abortion Activists Go Nuts
LIFE NEWS ^ | October 12, 2018 | Steven Ertelt

Two more of President Donald Trump’s conservative judicial nominees may be confirmed to important U.S. circuit court positions soon.

The U.S. Senate is considering Chad Readler and Eric Murphy for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals – a move that is setting off alarms for abortion activists.

The pro-abortion website Mother Jones reports Readler and Murphy both have “strong” pro-life histories in the legal system. And the Sixth Circuit could soon hear several important cases involving abortion clinic regulations.

Their nominations are “worrisome to pro-choice advocates who fear this may be the court that helps overturn Roe v. Wade,” according to the report.

Here’s more:

Chad Readler, a top Justice Department attorney who served in a personal capacity for Trump’s presidential campaign, and Eric Murphy, who was behind a series of challenges to the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive coverage policy, were both nominated in June to serve on the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

… Readler has vigorously defended the Trump administration’s efforts to prevent undocumented young women from accessing abortion, as well as its attempt to let employers deny their employees birth control coverage. Murphy has prohibited the state of Ohio from contracting with abortion providers, and represented several organizations in challenges against the ACA’s contraceptive coverage policy.

The Sixth Circuit hears cases out of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. Several of those states have passed abortion clinic regulations in recent years to protect women’s health and safety; however, abortion activists have challenged them in court.

Amanda Thayer, spokesperson for the radical pro-abortion group NARAL, said their confirmations could bring about an end to Roe v. Wade.

“Ultimately the goal is to overturn, gut, or undermine Roe v. Wade and the protections that it provides women,” Thayer said. “Either way, I think it’s safe to say Readler and Murphy will be instrumental in limiting abortion rights.”

As with the U.S. Supreme Court, the makeup of lower courts is important because of the abortion industry’s challenges to pro-life legislation. When abortion activists fail to stop pro-abortion laws, they often turn to the courts to block protections for unborn babies and their mothers. But when conservative presidents appoint conservative judges, there is a greater chance of these pro-life laws being upheld and unborn babies’ rights restored.

Protection? It is convenience ... and they want you to pay for it.

Roe is not protection.

Condoms and the pill and keeping your legs closed is protection.

Roe was legalizing murder for women. That is exactly what Roe is. And they don’t want to give up this invented power.

Yup. And if it takes signing on to a couple budget deficits to keep the Senate approving conservative, Constitutionalist Justices, well that’s quite OK with me.

It sure doesn’t do much to protect unborn women, does it?

The most pro-life POTUS ever.

I pray to the Father, YHVH, and to His only begotten Son that a shield surround this man, that the Holy Spirit hold him up from within, that Donald Trump should have a truly repentant heart, and that by the Lord’s grace and mercy all the fiery missiles of the enemy are turned aside. I pray for his family, for their protection, redemption and spiritual well being. I pray for those who protect him in the physical world and for their families, that they know the Son as their Savior and that they too be protected. I pray for the men he appoints to the positions of trust and their families in the same manner.

No thing of this world can stand against the Father, no power or principality, not all of creation combined. Lord keep this man and these people in your hand, who can take them from there? Christ keep this man and these people in your hand, who can take them from there? Holy Spirit keep this man and these people in your hand, who can take the from there?

And keep me too. It is in Christ Jesus name that I pray this.

And to think just three years ago a lot of people worried that Donald Trump would be a RINO President.

Abortion isn’t Protection, it’s women hiring a medical lynch mob to kill their own child.

In the past I’ve pointed out that under our rightful common law there is a principal that a person can come the the aid of another whose life is in danger and even use lethal force to protect them and it be seen a legal justification for their act.

I bring this up because even if all abortion were otherwise illegal with no exceptions it would still be the case that in those instances where in the medical opinion of a skilled doctor, which can be reexamined by other similar individuals with access to the same information for the soundness of judgment, it really came down to the life of the mother or the life of her child that an abortion could still happen and with the medical necessity to save her life as a defense there could be no legal consequences resulting ... which is to say that this idea that abortion must remain legal to protect the lives of women is a lie.

Without the hard case to justify murder that leaves abortionists and their champions with the truth: they just want to kill if it’s what they want.

You pay for it your self, no public funding and no taxpayer funded abortion. I want my optometry and dental care before the condoms and abortions.
