McConnell says stricter abortion rules 'possible' if Roe is overturned
2022-05-09
[NYPOST] Sen. Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, said national child sacrifice abortion legislation is "possible" if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade​.

"If the leaked opinion became the final opinion, legislative bodies — not only at the state level but at the federal level — certainly could legislate in that area," ​the Kentucky Republican told USA Today​.

"And if this were the final decision, that was the point that it should be resolved one way or another in the legislative process. So yeah, it’s possible," ​McConnell said.

The debate over child sacrifice abortion rights has taken on new emphasis since the revelation last week of a draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito that shows the court is poised to strike down the 1973 landmark decision as early as June.

​In the opinion, Alito wrote that "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start" and argued that states should decide on whether to restrict child sacrifice abortion rights.

Some Republicans have been more critical of the leaking of the document than what’s in the decision, fearing a potential backlash at the polls during November’s 2022 midterm elections.

#2  /\ NY and CA can practice full worshipers of Baal infanticide

Then there's always the packing seniors into the crowded nursing home strategy. Of course this technique is dependent upon a pandemic and the availability of and refrigeration trailers.

How can we finally get rid of these disgusting deplorables ?

#1  No kidding. It wasn't a constitutional federal issue in the first place. NY and CA can practice full worshipers of Baal infanticide while America actually goes back to the basics.
