The black robed men...

"I heard a minister the other day talking about the great injustice and evil of the men in white robes, the Ku Klux Klan, that roamed the country in the South and they did great wrong to civil rights to and to morality and now we have black-robed men." -James Dobson

  1. It's true. We have the black robed men to thank for the 1.5 million murdered unborn babies every year. We have them to thank now for tacking our national morality on the laws of Europe. And we have them to thank for making the judiciary impervious to any check or balance.

  2. I don't understand your style of writing. Using 3 names to somehow defuse my thinking doesn't really make a good argument. You name 3 conservative justices. That leaves 6 who are not.

    And while you may LOVE the judiciary, there are plenty of us who hold the judiciary responsible for the deaths of aborted babies. And you wanna talk about direct comparisons of the judiciary with the KKK? Dred Scott. It took an amendment of the Constitution to change Dred Scott's effect. Perhaps if you were alive back then, you would decry the legislative branch for violating judicial independence.

    The Federalist Papers envisioned a weak judiciary incapable of stripping anyone of personal liberties. Yet we have both Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade forced on us from on high.

    Dobbs' statement is not absurd. You should consider if there is any truth to it because I agree with the good doctor. Don't disregard it just because Dr. Dobson said it. That is just "intolerant"

  3. It is absurd. And the republican majority has spent 12 years refusing to do what it can outside of the complete criminalization of abortion.

    Abortion is evil. Then why do they block plans that will effectively reduce the number of abortions by preventing pregnancies in the first place. Proper Sex education. Education outside the silly fantasy that abstinance only will somehow work. It doesn't.

    Use the European model, where the teen preganancy rate is much lower. Few unplanned preganancies among teenagers translates into fewer unplanned pregnancies among adults later.

    The "Rapture Right" is so unwilling to compromise on issues, that they end up more culpable than the courts.

    Preventing Pregnancy Prevents Abortions.

    Take that to the legislators.

    Oh, and Dobson's Point remains stupid.
