Re: Roe is Over 062422

The morality of abortion is not up for vote. Abortion is an intrinsically evil act. Moreover, the Roman Catholic Church consistently has condemned abortion — the direct and purposeful taking of the life of the innocent unborn child. In principle, we believe that all human life is sacred from conception until natural death, and the taking of innocent human life, whether born or unborn, is morally wrong. The church teaches, “Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: No one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being” (“Donum Vitae,” 5).

TRANSCRIPT
The Abortion Nothingburger
Have the Marxists lost the advantage?
I'm Michael Voris, coming to you from the U.S. Supreme Court in the nation's capital, where the pro-death response to last week's overturning of Roe v. Wade has fizzled into what amounts to a big nothingburger.
There was actually much more outrage on the part of Marxists in the immediate aftermath of the leaked draft last month than there has been in response to the actual decision itself being handed down. There were death threats, the attempted killing of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, pro-life centers bombed and torched, Catholic churches vandalized, Catholic Masses disrupted and so forth.
But compared to what was expected to happen over this past weekend, relatively speaking, very little has happened. Expectations were so dire, in fact, that the Department of Homeland Security issued a formal advisory to Catholic bishops to be on high alert for violent outbursts.
Even out here in front of the Supreme Court itself, the supporters of child-killing have been spectacularly fewer in number than anyone expected. Church Militant has been here each day now this week and it's never been more than a hundred, and that was a one-time peak that we saw.
Pushback from God-believing patriots does matter. It does mean something. It does have an impact.

The usual number has been much closer to just two or three dozen — normally with a woman screeching on a bullhorn — inviting some onlookers to come express their rage. So far, we haven't seen one taker. There is, however, one message that's more than the annoying droning of the mantra, "my body, my choice," that keeps being repeated by the handful of pro-child killers. That message is an attack on Christ and every time it involves attacks on the Catholic Church.
This sign sums it up best of all: "America is not a Christian nation." As this sign was being displayed, the woman with the bullhorn was assailing Catholics for fighting to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The Left is desperate to portray this as a religious fight, a theological fight. It isn't. It is a spiritual fight, but they never go there. Moving from religion into specifically the spiritual would be too revealing for the demons who are behind these protests and the whole abortion movement.
So, as long as the narrative can be confined to a message that religions don't have a right to control the government, then they can keep screaming into their bullhorns and scribbling meaningless phrases and vulgarities on the street and chanting what are, more and more, proving to be useless, worn-out phrases.
The child-killing crowd, in fact, may have so overplayed its hand that fewer and fewer Americans identify with them these days. A poll released by Rasmussen earlier this week specifically about Americans' views on Friday's overturning of Roe v. Wade showed that 50% agreed with the Supreme Court ruling.
And while 45% did not agree, this latest poll — the first since Roe v. Wade was overturned — turns the entire child-killing narrative on its head. For years, decades even, the Marxist media has told us that most Americans support the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion. But now that Roe v. Wade has been killed, 50% of Americans actually support the Supreme Court.
That is extremely unwelcome news in the camp of "team evil" and is also worrying to them that what they considered their ability to capitalize on the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the coming midterms may not prove to be the lightning in a bottle they were banking on.
Additionally, a recent voter tabulation by the Associated Press showing a net gain of "party switchers" across the country from Democrats and independents to Republicans is causing nightmares at Democratic Party headquarters.
While 600 thousand did switch and join the Democrats, a million former Democrats and independents switched over and became Republicans. And even more alarming, a lot of those switching over are in the suburbs, the very heart of the Democratic machine fueling their wins in the last dozen years.
A more balanced view of what's happening is that there is a balkanization of America into radical Marxists and constitutional patriots. Most Americans do not reject basic human rights. They do not think young children should be exposed to lewd drag queens or have schools teach them to have abortions and change their biological sex, all behind their parents' backs.
Most Americans do not think anyone should be able to kill a child in the womb for any reason at any time. Most are sick of having pro-sodomy stuff jammed down their throats morning, noon and night. The America that Marxists want to construct looks less and less appealing to the average American.
What is happening, however, is that certain states, the obvious ones, are becoming emboldened in those insane beliefs and are becoming bluer and bluer.
Two Americas have been emerging for a while now, and the Dobbs ruling may have just been the "birthing" of one and the "aborting" of the other. Blue America has supported an anti-God agenda for quite some time, but the Trump presidency exposed all that.
Red-state Americans — still with their fair share of problems with the philosophical underpinnings of their positions — are at least moving on natural virtue and goodwill.
Blue America hates children, perhaps best visualized by Nancy Pelosi shoving Mayra Flores' child in her mom's swearing-in photo op. After all, nothing says "I love children" more than giving a 12-year-old a forearm shiver.
But their hatred of children, not to mention families where children are best nurtured, is owing to the demons who control them or, better said, the demons to whom they have ceded control.
Nancy and Joe and the rest of them have traded their souls for power, and now, in the twilight of their lives, they are watching their empire contract and, in some ways, even collapse about them. They won't go down without a fight certainly.
But just as when the Western Allies crossed the Rhine into the heartland of Hitler's Germany in March 1945 — in what became known as Operation Blackwatch —everyone knew (except Hitler and a few other deranged Nazis) that the clock was running out.
These demonically controlled politicians are in a rage, sensing that the tide has begun to turn. Of course, speaking spiritually, none of this will be over and done finally until the Son of God returns on the clouds of Heaven, but that does not mean things cannot improve or that the fight should not go on.
These depraved Marxists are sensing — likely correctly — that they are about to be on the run and in retreat. Pushback from God-believing patriots does matter. It does mean something. It does have an impact. Organizing that pushback and securing what we have gained so far will be the focus of our Church Militant "Call to Action" convention in late August in Detroit, which we highly encourage everyone to sign up for. Details are here. Please sign up today, and bring as many activist-minded friends as you can.
What a supreme disappointment it would be to give back the gains we have made these past decades because the Marxists got better organized faster than we did. There are titanic battles still to come in many states - both in the Church and the political/cultural arena.
Victory is never really victory until the enemy is vanquished — so we can't let up.
In the meantime, be thankful that Almighty God has given us this opening, this victory, even if it is, right now, in its infancy and still fragile.
Victory is never really victory until the enemy is vanquished — so we can't let up.

We must build on it and advance it. Normal Americans, for all our failings and mistakes, must push these Marxists and their evil completely out of everyday life. They can't be in schools, they can't be in government, and they certainly can't be in churches.
What is most evident right now is that it appears to be an actual true awakening — as opposed to being woke — is happening on the Right, and it's coinciding with a Marxist offensive running out of steam, at least in many places.
For that, glory be to Almighty God.

Pre-Roe Abortion Ban is Enforceable, Texas Supreme Court Confirms
By Kim Schwartz on July 2, 2022 Abortion, Issues, Legislation, Media, News, Press Releases
The Supreme Court of Texas on Friday night overruled a lower court order that purported to allow abortion clinics to continue killing preborn babies throughout the last week.
The state’s highest court agreed Texas never repealed its abortion bans that existed before Roe v. Wade. Friday’s ruling clarifies that district attorneys and state officials may fully prosecute abortionists under the pre-Roe statutes at least until a hearing later this month.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB8DUdNQhW4&feature=emb_imp_woyt
Texas Right to Life President Dr. John Seago celebrated:
“Preborn children deserve justice. We are thankful the Texas Supreme Court rescinded this temporary restraining order that abortionists were using as an excuse to continue their murderous practice.”
Even with this temporary victory, there is one fact the media and abortion industry are ignoring: Abortionists who attempted to continue business as usual after the Dobbs ruling can face murder charges regardless of the prior temporary restraining order. Their lawsuit targeted the state’s pre-Roe statutes but did not impact Texas’ homicide laws. The Texas Penal Code asserts that murder charges do “not apply to the death of an unborn child if the conduct charged is… a lawful medical procedure…” Abortion is no longer a lawful medical procedure and thus can be prosecuted as homicide. Reliance on the temporary restraining order is no defense.
Texas Right to Life confirmed approximately half of the state’s abortion businesses resumed taking appointments since Tuesday. We alerted district attorneys to this criminal activity and urged these elected officials to prosecute abortionists known to have broken the law. To hold abortionists accountable going forward, we will push legislation next session authorizing private citizens to sue those who break any Pro-Life law, in a manner similar to the Texas Heartbeat Act.

The Vortex Cutting Off Debate

It's always done to conceal the truth.
https://www.churchmilitant.com/video...ing-off-debate
TRANSCRIPT
Listening to the media fallout from the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe, as well as a host of other rulings this term, youd think the world was coming to an end. Headlines like "Judicial Activism" and "Illegitimate Court" dominate the Marxist media.
What the media types are banking on (or at the very least, hoping for) is that the majority of people can be snookered into thinking the current court is the activist one not the various courts that preceded it for decades.
It all revolves around a proper understanding of the Constitution, meaning, Should it be seen in a very narrow manner or a very broad manner?
A very narrow meaning means just that. Only the rights laid out in it count life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; press; speech; religion and so forth. Of course, as time goes by, all that sometimes needs interpreting, but never so much as to actually create new rights.
The concept of liberty was massively expanded.
Gab
Tweet
In the parlance of Catholic theology, you could call it the "development of doctrine" versus the creation of new doctrine.
When new rights are created, particularly as they happen to align with the spirit of the age, the court ceases to be a body of interpreters and instead becomes a court of activism.
Since the 1960s, the Supreme Court has largely been an activist court full of activist judges.
For example, it takes jumping through more than just a few hoops to move from a constitutional right to liberty to a constitutional "right" to kill an unborn child.
But that's exactly what the court did in Roe in 1973. The same with Obergefell in 2015. The concept of liberty was massively expanded to embrace the idea that sodomy was not only lawful but actually a cultural good and, therefore, should be enshrined as legal marriage. Another activist interpretation with nothing to support it other than opinion polls and societal moods married to the whims of a culture.
During the halcyon days of the activist court, the media were cheering and hooting and hollering celebrating all of the rulings as good for America, democracy and so forth.
But and heres the rub they were all based on illegitimate readings of the law, deliberately poor interpretations of the Constitution.
A basic common-sense test could be applied to many of the decisions to determine if they were legitimate or not. For example, would anyone seriously argue that the Founding Fathers had intended to promote anal sex between two men as "marriage"? Or that an entire industry could spring up dedicated to nothing more than killing tens of millions of preborn children?
It just doesn't pass the "smell test."
So over the past several decades, from the dawn of the sexual revolution forward, Americans have had hammered into their skulls by the Marxist media that all these things are "rights." And not just rights, but constitutional rights. And not just constitutional rights, but fundamental constitutional rights.
The truth is they were never any of that. They aren't spelled out in the Constitution at all, so how could they be? A fundamental right, a foundational right, would surely be spoken of in the nation's foundational documents, right?
Some are life, liberty, the bearing of arms, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and so forth. And sorry, Marxists, if it ain't in the original you don't get to "interpret" it into being. If you want to add it, then get a constitutional convention going and amend the Constitution, but you don't get to make it up as you go along.
The truth is there is no appetite in the United States for their Marxist agenda. That's why they had to grab the court and pervert it in the first place. But since it took so long for political conservatives to get to a point to get control of the court back, a generational problem has arisen.
Almost four generations have now gone by where abortion has been able to have been spoken of as a constitutional "right." Indeed, many of the signs we saw last week in Washington, D.C., claimed rights were being taken away, while, in truth, those rights as rights never existed to begin with.
So now the headlines are just that rights are being rolled back, taken away by an activist court, while the reality is nothing is happening other than a restoration of the correct view.
But here's the Marxists' ace in the hole the media.
The Luciferian media, who created the atmosphere and the lexicon that sodomy and child killing were "rights," now get to speak incessantly about rights being taken away, a theme repeated by the shock troops on the streets.
This narrative is just one of many that has to be attacked relentlessly by the honest media, media that deal in the truth. And yes, we are of course speaking of our wall-to-wall coverage of this issue, not just last week, but what Church Militant has been doing since its inception.
What the Marxists' control of the media has afforded them is the ability to cut off debate.
On their way to power, they are all about debate and fairness and blah blah. But once they achieve power, all debate is over, like in a cardinal-elect-Bp.-McElroy "listening session" where people who say things the pro-sodomy prelate doesn't want to "listen to" are driven out of the building.
It's how affairs are being handled in the Church right now.
These sessions, laughably labeled as "listening" sessions, are being held all over the country in anticipation of next year's synod in Rome. But, of course, the notes from all these sessions are held very close to the vest as a final document, supposedly summarizing people's thoughts, is assembled.
But the average Joe is not allowed anywhere near that part of the process and is just supposed to accept the establishment narrative. "Trust the process" is a load of malarkey we hear way too much.
If it ain't in the original you don't get to 'interpret' it into being.
Gab

Hey, bishops, it's not the "process" we dont trust it's you and the people you've appointed to be in charge of the process. Like the Marxists and their media in the culture, the institutional church has forfeited any amount of trust.
The bishops learned to cut off debate much earlier than the Left did. In fact, the Marxists read their book on how to cut off debate. The parallels between the Marxists and those in operational control of the Church are stunning.
The only reason debate is ever cut off in midstream is to conceal the truth. The truth is very clear.
The court was co-opted and then created new so-called rights to support the immoralities of the sexual revolution, which has led to the destruction of the family and severe downgrading of America.
Then, through the democratic process, a correct judicial philosophy was restored to the court, and now, it is simply fixing the mistakes of the past 60 years.
That's not "activism"; it's correction and much needed.
