Don’t Divert Your Attention to Roe v. Wade

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

A coming Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade was secretly “leaked.” Uncoincidentally, the news came right before the 2022 US midterm elections. Everyone is understandably up in arms after Biden formed a Disinformation Governance Board to become the ultimate authority for what we may believe is true. Most Americans want Biden out of office, with only 37% saying he should run for re-election.

The fake plight to save the people of Ukraine was not enough to garner Democratic support. The virtue-signaling appealed to the left at first, until Biden handed Ukraine billions of dollars and dismissed his campaign promise to forgive student debt. The COVID power grab has loosened from Biden’s grip, and his approval numbers have been steadily declining.

Abortion has been a hot topic since Roe v. Wade permitted the practice in 1973. The same people who are shouting, “MY BODY, MY CHOICE!” did not feel that way when the government wanted to mandate experimental vaccines. They were OK with countless people losing their jobs and lives because the government knew what was best for our health, and we had a moral obligation to obey. They claim Roe v. Wade protects women but are attempting to eliminate women from our society.

The latest Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Jackson said she could not define a “woman” as she is not a biologist. Biden actually banned the word “mothers” as femininity is offensive to the far left. Instead, we are supposed to call them “birthing people” since the woke community maintains that men can give birth. Apple even added pregnant men emojis to its platform.

Not to be outdone, the US is #1 for infant mortality among developed nations. Do you know the leading cause of death for “birthing people” in the US? HOMICIDE! More women die in this country from homicide than from pregnancy or birthing complications. Black women in particular are three times as likely to die from homicide while pregnant. Men are almost always the culprit.

Yet, no one sees gender or these very alarming issues. Women are no longer protected in this country; Roe v. Wade is not the issue. How can we protect women when we deny their existence?

The use of logic and reason in trying to understand or explain these narrative flows are pointless.

The object of their use is to confuse, to produce anxiety and division, to distract and refocus. There is no understanding of it outside that context. It is equivalent to being caught up in the middle of an armed robbery and hearing the perp yell nobody move and no one gets hurt and thinking that the guy waving the gun is actually concerned about your physical safety.

Does anyone really believe that the folks behind these psyops really care about women?

I have roofers here working, and they knocked off until things cool off a bit.

But they had better come back and finish putting my damn roof back together before the weekend!!!

I’m not sure is isn’t good that this broke now instead of June. Closer you get to November, the more current matters will affect voting. Dem voters have a short attention span, so we get this over now. By November we’ll have half a million illegals invading per month, record violent crime, record inflation, a recession, and a national debt that has more countries dropping the dollar as their reserve currency. We’ll be on the verge of being the largest 3rd world nation, and the WHO will have released a new more virulent and deadly covid to lock us down from voting. Roe v. Wade? What’s that?

“We” as in the general pop of this country…you included, judging from the way you corrected me the other day, but no worries.

Personally, I’m not a fan of Armstrong’s writing. His thoughts never flow well, IMO. Not saying I’m better, but I’m also not writing & posting articles for the public to read. I just judge others, mmkay?

I’ve always maintained that he composes his articles while taking his morning dump. And he never, ever, proofreads.

Fella needs an editor, so he does.

You said “…the essay was completely disjointed. Now you change to “His thoughts never flow…”

I guess they are quite similar. I had no problems understanding what he was saying, but I guess you did.

Do you have any thoughts about what he, or I, had to say? I actually strive for awkward constructions, but I usually make my thoughts clear.

Wiseguy…honestly, I don’t read your comments (unless directed at me). I have a list of certain people I read, otherwise I’d be here all day trying to keep up. If you’d like me to add you to the list in the future, let me know. But first I need you to take this quick simple test. And, NO cheating…DO NOT look it up!

What is the Oxford Comma?

I didn’t have a problem understanding Armstrong. I can figure things out pretty well, even if disjointed…or whatever. I just don’t prefer his writing style to communicate his ideas. And, as RRD said, he generally has a lot of errors.

P.S. I will be logging off shortly for the evening. I will check back, however, to see if you passed the test. Good luck! That will determine if you’ll get the privilege to be on my list.

Abie,
Here’s another comment directed at you.

Your last post was better in admitting that the original essay was understandable and that the author made his points clearly.

That you don’t like his style is just too bad. Who cares about what style you prefer?

Have you read at all in the writings of what are called our Founding Fathers? Or read early Supreme Court opinions?

They were often quite creative with spelling and sentence structure, but they made good points on crucial issues, and even average people of the time understood them.

Probably you’d say they needed editors too…

My point is, don’t pan an essay on ideas because of what you see as technical issues.

And my original point remains; you haven’t commented at all about the ideas contained within the essay.

I think the most fundamental error of Roe was to decree that a fertilized egg is part of a woman’s body. That is facially wrong and completely at odds with what science tells us.

What do you think about that?

You seem particularly offended about me being critical of this essay. Are YOU Martin?? Otherwise, I’m not sure why we are arguing this topic endlessly.

For the record, I believe that the thoughts & ideas expressed are the most important piece of an essay. The technical piece is just the pretty frame around the masterpiece…capiche? Feel better, Martin?

Regarding abortion…I’m pro-life, at any stage of pregnancy or situation (even rape).

I also think this topic being brought up at this moment in time in the manner that it was is a complete distraction. But, here we are all talking about it…hence my original comment above about being stupid.

And, yes, who cares what style I like?? Why are you obsessing about it??

btw…you didn’t answer my test question.

Whether you are pro-life or favor abortion on demand, the most important issues raised by the SCOTUS review of Roe are ones of power and how it should be exercised.

I’ll guess you believe a fertilized human egg to be a human being, possessed of all the rights that every human has and therefore that abortion at any time is murder and should be prosecuted as such.

Hopefully you understand that the national government is granted only very limited police powers, and that those powers don’t extend to the crime of murder, leaving such issues to the police powers of the individual states.

I’ll ask a question- If a state decides not to prosecute murder, is the Federal Government obligated to step in in order to protect the lives of the citizens of a state that has decriminalized murder?

For the sake of argument, I’ll take the radically opposite position to your radical pro-life position- I think abortion should be allowed (with agreement of both parents) up until the calendar age of 15. I’ll add that I have noticed some individuals who, at ages even beyond 15, do not exhibit any characteristics that would lead one to believe they are human. Why should they not be aborted?

For your information, somewhere around half of all fertilized eggs fail to attach to the uterine wall and are simply discarded. Since you probably knew that, I was probably wrong to assume that you thought a fertilized egg is a human being… IDK. Does the fertilized egg become human immediately upon implantation, or is it rather merely a potential human at that point?

I didn’t answer your punctuation question because, as I indicated previously, I think its the ideas that are important, not so much how they are expressed.

Important questions raised by this issue are; Does the national government have the authority to nullify State Laws?; if so, when? Where in the Constitution does this power arise? After all, it took a Constitutional Amendment to nullify state laws allowing and enforcing chattel slavery which certainly violated the rights of many people.

Those people aren’t denying that men who think they are women exist, so obviously those kinds of “women” exist. In fact they insist that those types of women exist. …

Sorry, what can I say, we always called them perverts. When they added a ‘P’ to the LGBT alliance, they confirmed their intention to “mainstream” perversions of … Every sort?

Refer to the movie: “Dr. Strangelove…or How I learned to stop worrying and Love the Bomb” Cold war early 1960’s classic black comedy based on the novel “Red Alert”. And the word as pronounced in the scene presented in the pic above, is “prevert.”

Yes, I remember seeing the movie in a movie theater, with friends. It was a howl.

Do you actually think they were right about what constituted a ‘preversion’?

Boy, this topic got buried deeply in a hurry, but I’ve noticed that often happens on TBP.

Black women in particular are three times as likely to die from homicide while pregnant. Men are almost always the culprit.

The repeal of Roe v. Wade on real issues of constitutionality and the need to make rational decisions when the stakes are high come into play here too.

Of course the ultimate issue is still “Is it Human yet?”

I’m pretty sure humans are like pornography. Even if you can’t define “human” you know one when you see one…

I’m hopeful that SCOTUS will continue to look backward, rooting out bad decisions that have been used as precedent for decades by ‘progressive’ judges and courts to erode our liberties and restrict our freedoms. Not to mention stealing the fruits of our labor from our hands and mouths. This is serious shit.

Yes, the wrongly decided bad precedents go back a very long way.

Of course, it’s as it ever was. Tyrants immediately hated the ideas of America, and sought to stamp those ideas out, and they never gave up.

They keep losing on every issue, which makes them desperate as well as powerful.

Desperate and powerful people are in positions of unrestricted power world wide. There aren’t really that many of them, and most of the worst are well known. We must act now to unite with everyone who loves liberty to remove them from power. It’s not rocket science, just politics and the struggle of good against evil.

They should re-visit everything that was decided based upon lies and/or specious reasoning.

Including US v Miller.

Also, there should never be a SCOTUS precedent set that is won by default.

There are a slew of them, starting immediately after FDR intimidated the Court into the opinion that the New Deal was constitutional.
Certainly the declaration by SCOTUS that the national government was ‘Sovereign’ began the worst of it.

You can’t have a government where both the People and the Government are Sovereign.

“We the People” decided that Sovereigns were dangerous and opposed to liberty, so we would not have a Sovereign to govern us… But now we do.

Here’s an idea. If you cannot get an abortion anymore, just get a booster. According to VAERS, it could be just as effective.

Or this: If you don’t get a vaccine, lose your job – your choice. How about get an abortion, lose your job – again, your choice.

When I first heard about the “leak” and the possibility of Roe v Wade being overturned, I wondered WHY NOW?
For almost 50 years, Roe v Wade was the law of the land, and suddenly, when our cities are in chaos, when we are more divided than we have ever been, when lawlessness abounds, when our borders are open and millions of people (who have no allegiance to the United States) are walking into our country, when Fentanyl and other youth destroying drugs are pouring through our Southern border (the deliberate destruction of military aged men who would otherwise be capable of defending our nation), when sex trafficking is at an all time high, when our economy (and the world’s economy) is being systematically and DELIBERATELY destroyed, and when we are on the brink of NUCLEAR WAR, why would the Supreme Court suddenly decide that the pressing issue of our time would be the overturning of Roe v Wade, why now?

The answer is pretty obvious, this is a giant DISTRACTION.
The “leak” of the alleged abolition of Roe v Wade was to create more division, create more hatred, lawlessness and chaos, create more violence, and while we are all preoccupied with “gender diversity”, and the possibility of the end of Roe v Wade, our Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings and Rulers are quietly taking us into the Gates of Hell.

This was no leak!

The divisions were already pretty clear back when Roe was decided.

Who do you expect to engage in violence if Roe is overturned? Is Antifa pro abortion, and willing to riot for it? I think it’s an important enough issue to focus on. There are issues of the limits of the national government’s power here, as well as issues of rights.

If you’d rather get people upset abut ‘sex trafficking’ go for it. I have plenty of time to watch the economy turn to shit, which is certainly going to happen, and nobody can stop it at this point.

Perhaps discussion of Roe v Wade will lead to discussions of the “Regulatory Powers” and the incorrect reading of the Constitution to provide “Implied Powers” unrelated to any actually granted power. The “Common Good” constitution as its called, as if the preservation of the Blessings of Liberty was not mentioned…

Anyway, when you say “This was no leak”, I guess you mean it was intentional, but all “leaks” of this sort are intentional.
