In the aftermath of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy that Republicans will put forward anti-abortion legislation should they retake control of Congress

McCarthy hailed Friday’s decision as "the most important pro-life ruling in American history"

McCarthy specifically told CNN that he would back a 15-week nationwide abortion ban: “I’d support that"

Former Vice President Mike Pence also called for a nationwide ban on abortion, telling far-right outlet Breitbart that "we must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land"

Let’s see: it took our spineless, gutless, pansy ass California coward of a “leader” exactly two hours to cave to the Marxists like a cheap suit in the rain. Think about that.

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told me he backs legislation to codify a 15-week ban on abortion, saying: "I'd support that."

In other words to hell with what the Supreme Court ruled RINO McCarthy wants Congress to codify into law it’s OK the murder babies fo the first 15 weeks.

This SOB can’t leave well enough alone. He needs to be ran out of Congress. He’s on CNN more than he spends at work. What a worth POS.

Let the states handle it.

The big national problem is the open border.

Yawn, whatever. How do they intend to get it signed? Oh, I remember, a Republican house is full of show votes when they are out of power.

This is a Kamikaze mission. The numbers simply aren't there for a nationwide ban on abortion.

Why can't Republicans just enjoy these victories for now? There is no need for this. None.

Those damn feds can seem to keep their hands out of state matters (which in reality is almost everything).

Amazing how after a century and a half they suddenly finally knew what the Constitution meant!

Right?

If we are not careful, CNN is going to have McCarthy and Pence on the air saying stuff like this.

Then you'll have women vote against GOP this November. Biden Adminstration is able to pivot away from the issues that are killing him with the voters.

Make it all about abortion.

Big deal.

And the SCOTUS did the right thing. Roe vs Wade was a flawed precedent that was allowed to last for 50 years.

McCarthy proves everyday and in every way that he has zero understanding of the constitution and federalism. Such a fundamental ignorance should relegate him to the back bench with no committee assignments until he educates himself. Additionally, he needs to leave the bubble of Washington and the land of fruits and nuts and gain an understanding of real Americans.

Idiotic and unnecessary to say this. The GOPe is unhappy with this victory for states rights.

Yep.

One thing at a time. Let the USSC teach the left about our founding documents.

I heard my oldies rock station play a sound bite from Melloncamp claiming the 2nd Amendment meant muskets from the day. So stupid.

2A means as long as we have a government controlled standing Army, the peoples right to defend themselves from it “Shall Not Be Infringed”!

a Republican house is full of show votes when they are out of power.

And to nothing and lying and compromise with the left when they are in power.

If the right to life is not a federal issue, then what is as in what’s more important? My right to live is not up to any legislative body. It comes from God, however, the declaration stated I have a right to live from God, but the constitution does not. So when my state says I’m too old to live they can euthanize me? Try SC just absolved itself of it’s most important reason to exist, it just punted every right we had away.

They are trying to find a way to lose the midterms.
