| A new day is dawning ladies, and it's not one where your rights are respected. |
GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence on Thursday predicted Roe vs. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion, would be overturned if Donald Trump is elected president.
“I’m pro-life and I don’t apologize for it,” he said during a town hall meeting here. “We’ll see Roe vs. Wade consigned to the ash heap of history where it belongs.”
The comments — made in a conservative stronghold that strongly supported Texas Sen. Ted Cruz over Trump in the Michigan primary — were part of a broader argument Pence has been making on the stakes of the election: Voters need to consider that the next president will likely select multiple Supreme Court justices.
Pence said Trump would appoint strict constitutionalists in the mold of the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
“While we’re choosing a president for the next four years, this next president will make decisions that will impact our Supreme Court for the next 40,” he said. “… Go tell your neighbors and your friends, for the sake of the rule of law, for the sake of sanctity of life, for the sake of our 2nd Amendment, for the sake of all our other God-given liberties, we must insure the next president appointing justices to the Supreme Court is Donald Trump.”
Yet another reminder to the whiny little bitches thinking of voting third party or sitting this one out that the stakes could not be higher.
If you think you are "voting your conscience" by not voting for Hillary ask your conscience how it will feel if you skip this election, or flush your vote down the commode, and Trump's new Supreme Court appointees destroy a woman's right to choose.
I don't know about anybody else's conscience but mine would never stop punishing me.
What in Roe v. Wade would be turned out by a strict
ReplyDeleteConsitutionalist. Where in the Constitution is a woman's rights taken away?
Roe vs Wade was ruled on based on a women's right to privacy. They would fill the SC with judges that would rule on that life begins at conception, thus giving the fetus the right to life. Unfortunately it could be overturned and then take another 80 yrs to overturn it again( abortion was not illegal in the USA until the 1880's).
DeleteWomen with the funds and leisure to travel to Canada or other countries will always have access to safe, private, legal abortions. The Constitution and Roe v. Wade only applies to women that can't afford to leave the US for an abortion.
DeleteOverturning Roe V. Wade would return us to an age when poor women used unsafe "back alley abortionists".
The only way to prevent an American women from getting an abortion is force them to pee on a stick at airports and border crossings and then forcing her to remain in country (with no Roe v. Wade) until she has either miscarried or birthed a baby. Even the "pro-lifers" aren't dumb enough to try to enforce that scenario.
Yes, only in the USA in 2016 are the Republicans still trying to take away the rights of women.
DeleteThey still don't understand the concept of the Constitution is to grant rights not take them away.
If they win this election our voting rights will be next, can't take the chance another woman might run for president.
Or, how about consigning Mike "Thruppence" Pence to the trash heap of history?
ReplyDeleteDid you anybody else click on the left-column link here earlier today to DailyKos where Mike calls out Obama for 'name calling?!' Seriously.

The GOP's blindness to irony and its own engulfing hypocrisy beggars a fellow's facility with English to describe.
I read it, and I couldn't stop shaking my head. Is Pence deaf and as dumb?
DeleteI wish President Obama would get up on the stage and tell these two to fuck off. But, he's far classier than me!
DeleteYes, they seen to have a problem coordinating their campaign :)
DeleteTraitor Trump says one thing, while Mikey is in another state contradicting him.

4:10, I like "Traitor Trump" just about as much as "Treason Trump". Do you mind if I use that name for Donnie?
Delete@ 6:53 feel free to use Traitor Trump or Treason Trump. I did not copyright or trademark them :)
DeleteIf Traitor Trump can brand Hillary, we should too.
I intend to write Traitor Trump as many times as possible until the election so that it is associated with him.
Oh, geez here we go again.
ReplyDeleteIt is my wish that Pence could be vaginally raped and impregnated, forced to bear an unwanted baby with never having had the option to abort the violently forced pregnancy that he neither wanted or asked for. FUCK PENCE. AND all of his miserable controlling cronies. Other peoples pregnancies are none of ANYONE elses business. Abortion shouldn't be legislated anymore than heart surgery, weight reduction or chemotherapy. Our choices for medical treatment are PERSONAL. Period.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd be fine with his wife getting him pregnant every year, including now that he'd be dealing with high-risk pregnancies with severe abnormalities and surely miscarrying too.
DeleteBut he is definitely against abortion in cases of rape and incest, so I'll add that I would be okay if he had his first baby back when he was twelve or thirteen and his first children were also his siblings and cousins. Well, may as well throw in all other rape. He'd be happy to carry the fetuses, so why not.
Supposedly he can accept abortion to save the mother's life, but that's probably just so that he as a husband wouldn't get stuck raising the kids on his own and he'd have to do his own cooking and cleaning. Plus who'd he have sex with. A man's got needs and all.
I suggest someone should rip his balls off his body! What a horrid twosome he and Trump make! I detest them both!
Delete"or the sake of all our other God-given liberties,"
ReplyDelete-------
Except any liberties for women.
We need to be on guard for Mike Pence.
While Treason Trump is making a fool of himself, Mike is staying quite, working hard to take away our rights, except for the almighty 2nd Amendment of course.
ANYONE that would align themselves with tRump tells you all you need to know about their character.
DeleteMike is staying quite, working hard to take away our rights

Ah, you've figured out their plan! Why else would the GOP only fall in line to endorse once the VP was decided?
2:31, I like the "Treason Trump". May I use that? I wouldn't want to plagiarize.
DeleteHey, I have a thought Mike. If you're really so pro-life, why don't you go and protest at a gun shop. You know, make potential gin buyers run a gauntlet of hostile shouting?
ReplyDeleteMy face is already sore from faceplanting at every remark of the goppers. 99 more days. It won't survive it.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Republicans have never thought that democracy was anything but a tribal myth.

If you don't do your part to stop Trump - vote for Hillary, get others to vote for Hillary - it will be the biggest mistake you will ever make and you will regret it.
ReplyDeleteAnd we will bully you into doing so while at the same time ridiculing you, insulting you and making your life a living hell. But you still have to vote for Hillary because, you know, Trump.
Delete"Yet another reminder to the whiny little bitches thinking of voting third party or sitting this one out that the stakes could not be higher"
DeleteThis "whiny little bitch" will be sitting this one out and will register Independent after the election.
I did that IND designation years ago, 4.42 PM, but sit out? Never. Your vote is your voice, and I'm sure you'll be here bitching with whatever outcome. You didn't vote? Then STFU.
Delete5:08, I voted in the primary and have not sat out an election since I registered to vote in 1976. I do not care to vote for either candidate, nor will I bitch about the outcome. I will ride out the next four years and hope for better choices in 2020. I do not vote based on who is less corrupt, nor will I support a DNC that is dishonest. I am sure my one vote hardly matters. I have been assured of that many times on IM lately.
DeleteSeems like all the bully is coming from the Independents, who seem to forget they did not have to be invited to the Democratic Convention.
DeleteThey should take a lesson from Bloomberg who graciously thanked his hosts for the invitation, since he is not a member of their party.
They interviewed a Bernie delegate from California last night on PBS and he was literally threatening that if they don't get their way, they will not vote or vote against Hillary.
@anon 5:22pm
DeleteJust don't get your gf knocked up in the mean time.
Well, Anon at 5:22 pm, you have a serious problem if you cannot see any difference between the parties' candidates. Or did you just close your eyes and cover your ears for the past week? In either case, you will be part of the tragic outcome should Donald Trump win in November.

"Ailes’s star Bill O’Reilly was accused by a Fox producer named Andrea Mackris of engaging in unwanted phone sex with her. O’Reilly settled with her for a reported $10 million."
Delete"It also precludes her from speaking to government authorities like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the FBI. Not to mention the press."WTF?
Apparently Ailes didn't stop at sexual harassment. He also used a lot of derogatory epithets including calling people faggots and fucking jews. Not sure about the N word but wouldn't be surprised.
DeleteI must say this is in keeping with a misogynistic personality. Isn't far to go to also belittle and dismiss those of color, a different race, ethnicity, sexual persuasion, religion, political party, etc.
He's a member of the rich, old, white, powerful male club. All others need not apply. Or complain.
He reminds me of William Frankfather's albino villain role in "Foul Play."
ReplyDeleteIn that photo - he looks like a Russian Dictator. His rhetoric matches Trump's perfectly. Fuck both of them!
ReplyDeleteVote Hillary Clinton! She is beating them in the polls! Yea!
Remember when Chris Matthews asked Trump how you would enforce laws against abortion and he agreed that the woman should be punished? Someone needs to ask Pence the same thing.
ReplyDeletePence already tried by making women pay for funerals for their fetuses.
DeleteThey and the doctor who performed the abortion will be tried for murder. Not only will a Trump/Pence presidency cause Rowe vs. Wade to be over turned, they will make sure the SCOTUS will enshrine fetal personhood into the laws of the land. ANY miscarriage, even those from the earliest days, will result in a criminal investigation of the woman who had it.
Delete"...funerals for their fetuses."
DeleteAnd here I thought Rick and Karen Santorum were a little morbid.
ANY miscarriage, even those from the earliest days, will result in a criminal investigation of the woman who had it.
Delete---------
It will also lead to criminal charges for women that "endanger" the fetus with improper prenatal care-drinking alcohol coffee, smoking, not taking vitamins,eating fish and anything the GOP can think of.
Bristol could be charge with endangerment for drinking slimming tea and power shakes.

O/T I am beginning to wonder if Donnie has ADD. Read the quotes from this rally, he is all over the place, too busy getting revenge than giving a coherent speech. It is as though he can’t concentrate on one theme and has to repeat everything.
ReplyDeleteSo could it be that Donnie has a learning disability or is he so angry and paranoid (everyone is out to get me) that his brain is misfiring?
Also it is too bad that Donnie doesn’t read, I seem to recall Tricky Dick Nixon used the line 'No more Mr. Nice Guy’ way back in the 70’s. Plagiarism is a family affair.

Trump: 'No more Mr. Nice Guy’

Remember when Nixon was called "Tricky Dick" and people compared him to a shifty used-car salesman? Trump, scruple less like Nixon, seems to be the amped-up 21st century version and none of the brain power.
DeleteBeaglemom
I realize he has been brain washed by/with religion - but I would still like to beat him with a stick.
ReplyDeleteI am well beyond child bearing years but will fight for any woman who needs the rights to deal with her body/decisions in whatever way she feels is right for her.
Pence is an ignorant prick.
Pat Padrnos
Well Pat I fought in the 60's. If the younger generation doesn't fight for their rights I am fine with going to Canada. I only have one DIL left in the states and if tRump is elected she will immigrate with my son and their kiddos. At a certain point every generation has to stand up for themselves.
DeleteWhy haven't the GOP and other pro-lifers demand that men get a vasectomy?
ReplyDeleteWell, you know, just in case those weak Little Ladies die during pregnancy or childbirth, the manly men still need to produce those spermies to keep the NEXT wife barefoot and pregnant!
DeleteBecause the majority of the GOP are men.

Indiana's hangar man, Gov. Mike Pence. He really doesn't like women having control over their lady parts.

"a former Waller County jailer recently testified in a deposition that he falsified jail logs on the day of Bland’s death, but a source told the Chronicle that the grand jury decided not to indict anyone over the matter."

Somebody’s got to say it, so I will. (Some) people don’t trust Hillary because right-wingers have launched an entire, lucrative publishing industry just making shit up about her. They are willing to spend ANY amount of American taxpayer dollars and waste thousands of hours of government time on NOTHING. Zero. Squat. Goose-egg city. Zzzzzzip.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they spend all this time and effort demonizing Hillary Clinton? Because they are absolutely TERRIFIED that she will be a magnificent President. They are TERRIFIED she’ll appoint three to four Supreme Court Justices that will move the court to the left for the next 30 years. They are TERRIFIED that she will grow the Obama Prosperity, that she will produce millions of jobs, and that her personal popularity ratings will be so high in 2020 that the Democrats will win the house, and win the right to end outrageous Republican gerrymandering, ensuring a permanent majority for the new Democratic coalition.
Ever notice how Republican investigations of Hillary Clinton never produce any results? And never end? That’s the point. This isn’t journalism, it’s a reality television version of the X-Files. “Evil is out there. The fact we haven’t found it just proves how really evil Hillary is.” The investigations exist to provide a conga line of congresscritters to Fox News to mumble about “unanswered questions” and “getting to the bottom of things.” They are nakedly political attempts to smear a candidate that terrifies them because she is smart, qualified, and has a very good chance of being wonderful.
Here’s what I’m trying to say. Trust George Lakoff. Don’t argue with anybody about any right-wing garbage about Hillary. Helpfully point out that it’s ALL garbage. Lakoff advises:
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/7/29/1554356/-Somebody-s-Gotta-Say-This-So-I-Will
The smears started decades ago. In my opinion it was because those right wing men couldn't stand a smart, active woman who wouldn't 'stay in her place'. It makes me sad that a lot of the young folks who won't vote for her made their decision based on years of lies. And yes, Bernie repeated the lies during his campaign, but now supports her. Should tell you he didn't really buy all the lies.
