Judge Cheryl Allen Zooms With Bucks Pro Lifers — Retired Pennsylvania Superior Court Judge Cheryl Allen spent two hours, Oct. 4, in a Zoom meeting with a diverse group of pro life activist in Warminister, Bucks County, Pa.

Judge Allen discussed a series of orchestrated anti-life ordinances and resolutions passed or pondered by several Democrat-controlled municipalities in the state including Upper Darby in Delaware County.

She noted that ordinances cannot trump state law and resolutions have no force of law anyway.

On a more serious note, she described the state harassment and intimidation of pregnancy crisis centers in an attempt to shut them down.

Ultrasounds are often performed at these centers. Judge Allen said that 80-percent of women considering abortion change their mind after viewing ultrasounds.

Judge Allen became the first Black woman to be elected to Superior Court in 2008 and served until her retirement in 2015. She now works with PA Family.

She said that during her election she found it difficult to gain traction with the Black communities in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. She said the vast majority of Black pastors in those cities were strongly in support of easy access to abortion.

Among the dozen or so in attendance was Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale. It was a miserable rainy night and Warminister is far from Joe’s constituency.

Serious props to him.

Your Body Your Problem —Free clue for feminists: Never trust a guy who wants easy access to abortion.

Roe Is Overturned — June 24 will be a day to remember. Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court’s vilest decision since Plessy Vs Ferguson has just been overturned.

The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives, said the court in a 6-3 decision.

Note this does not make abortion illegal but lets the democratic process proceed and gives the citizens the right to protect and respect human life.

Life starts somewhere, after all.

We’ve noted the correlation between mass school shootings and the Supreme Court’s 1973 declaration that the existence of human life is an arbitrary thing.

We’ve also noted that abortion in law in almost all civilized nations is far more strict that those in the United States under Roe.

Roe Is Social Poison And Must Go — A poisonous leak from the Supreme Court has revealed that the poisonous Roe V Wade decision appears about to be overturned.

If you doubt that Roe was poison, review any Senate hearing for a Republican Supreme Court nominee over the last four decades. You’ll see shrieking harpies haranguing lawmakers in legislative hallways, and misogynistic hypocrites like the late and unlamented Ted Kennedy and the lamentable Joe Biden trying to ruin the lives of decent people with lies and distortions.

Sometimes successfully.

How has that not poisoned and divided our society?

You ever see this go on in Europe?

No. Because the nations of Europe don’t call abortion a right and have handled the matter legislatively.

Progressive feminist Sweden bans abortion at 18 weeks, with exceptions. Enlightened France bans abortion at 14 weeks with exceptions.

This is stricter than all but three states.

The weeks are counted by gestational age which is usually considered 14 days prior to conception.

Ladies, did you ever consider that saying the baby is your body is really not the smartest message to send to young males trying to figure things out, and that the guys cheering you on are the users of the world like Kennedy or Clinton or pick your Hollywood rapist?

 Caitlin Flanagan writing for The Atlantic in 2019 noted that deaths from unsafe abortions prior to legalization were not rare.

Then she says this:

What I can’t face about abortion is the reality of it: that these are human beings, the most vulnerable among us, and we have no care for them. How terrible to know that in the space of an hour, a baby could be alive—his heart beating, his kidneys creating the urine that becomes the amniotic fluid of his safe home—and then be dead, his heart stopped, his body soon to be discarded.

And that’s the point of the debate.

A society that treats innocent, helpless human beings as disposable whether that person is a baby or is elderly or has Down syndrome, is a society that is going to die and deserves to do so.

A blanket ban on abortion may be a bad idea, but calling abortion a “right” is the worst idea of all.

Roe Is Social Poison And Must Go

Rape Incest And Abortion — The irony in the attack on the Catholic abortion view being applied universally is the accusation that it is the imposition of religion.

Well, OK, thou shalt not murder is a religious matter. It’s a revelation that comes directly from God. Any objections to imposing that?

The Church’s condemnation of abortion, though, — and here is the irony — is a matter of science. Life starts somewhere. Strip away the dissembling and the semantic arguments, and apply the most rigorous logic and objective evidence, that somewhere would be conception.

Nobody is taking about condemning menses or ejaculation or clipping fingernails. It’s when sperm and egg unite to create, well, a new being with unique DNA is when the Thou Shalt Not takes affect.

With the science established, the political questions appear. Would a law be enforceable? Are there times when abortion should be allowed? Can you gather the support of a majority of voters?

Pro life politicians generally cite rape and incest and life of the mother as exceptions to abortion bans.

Protecting the mother’s life is not a controversy, but we’ve never understood the argument for the incest exception. How is letting the abortion occur with the girl returning to the environment where she is abused — which is almost always the case as the abuser is usually the one paying for the abortion — somehow kinder than carrying the child to term?

Rape is the hard question. Most of us just can’t subject another human being to a nine-month daily reminder of a horrific moment with daily pain and discomfort included.

We’ve become a fan of heartbeat laws that ban abortions when a heartbeat is detected in the womb. This is about three weeks after conception or five weeks gestational age.

A rape victim reports the crime and is given a morning-after pill and the pregnancy ends.

Or maybe she just goes to the drug store and gets it on her own.

If she waits too long it does become her choice to carry, and we feel no hesitation about imposing this on her.

A society that fails to recognize the obligation to protect innocent life is going to be a cruel and unpleasant place.

Heart beat laws have a moral consistency. If you can’t bury someone with a beating heart you shouldn’t be allowed to abort someone with a beating heart.

Starting a ban at conception is unenforceable, leaving aside that it would be politically impossible to achieve.

It doesn’t mean that morning after pills are something to be praised. We have a sick society and our attitude towards abortion is a big part of that sickness.

If our society should start holding pregnancy as something sacred a whole lot of healing would start, but this is far more a cultural thing than a legal one.

Kudos to people like Abby Johnson and Carla D’Addesi, who started the pro-life fashion line COL1972 who are doing just that.
