Abortion is BIG Loser in Senate Confirmation Vote
Washington, DC — Abortion supporters were dealt a crucial blow when the U.S. Senate voted 58-42 to confirm Judge Samuel Alito to the United States Supreme Court, increasing their fears that abortion may soon be declared unconstitutional.
The first loss to the abortion lobby came in the Senate on Tuesday night when it failed to muster the required 41 votes to block the confirmation vote of Judge Alito.
Alito faced stiffer opposition because, unlike Chief Justice John Roberts, he never admitted that Roe is “settled law.”
“This lack of capitulation to the pro-abortion crowd incited a feeble coalition of pro-abortion Senators to mount a filibuster attempt,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “That effort predictably failed, opening the way for today’s vote.”
Senators John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Edward Kennedy and 21 other Senators pinned their failed hopes of defeating Alito’s confirmation on his opposition to abortion. But a number of Democratic Senators broke ranks with the abortion lobby and cast their votes in support of Judge Alito.
“Pro-life is a winning position,” said Newman. “Abortion lost today, abortion lost in the last two presidential elections, and abortion will continue to lose its death grip on the American people.”
“Support for abortion on demand is dying and Roe’s supporters are gasping for air. It is only the out-dated Senators, like Ted Kennedy, hanging on to the past who haven’t figured out that abortion’s days are numbered,” Newman said.

This is good news for the pro-life movement and bad news for the abortion industry, who now that they are losing. The truth is winning, because the truth always wins! Fight on my comrades! Fight on and God Bless America!

I am against the confirmation of Judge Alito, sure he would be a good judge, i just do not like the way he stands on abortion. Pro-choice is the way to go. This way we won’t have so many kids in orphanges and foster homes. Our world is overpopulated as it is, if a woman does not want a child, don’t force her into it. Like Ross said, FIght on!

Despite my misgivings about the strength of Alito’s pro-life convictions, it is certainly about time abortion lost. Legalized abortion has been a lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose proposition from the beginning…loss of life for innocent children and many of their mothers, loss of health (particularly reproductive health and reproductive freedom in the real sense) for women, loss of manhood for fathers psychologically castrated by the abortion industry, loss of spiritual, physical, and economic strength for any nation that allows it, loss of the souls and integrity of healers-turned-killers…and the list goes on. Go, truth, Go ORW and allies…oh, and thank you, Ann Coulter!

Marc,
Overpopulation is a myth and deeply flawed. My “Fight on” remark was and is for my brothers and sisters serving in the pro-life movement.

As if murdering the kids is better than them being in a foster home. As if a violent death is better than living. Amazing…

Marc,
“Pro-choice” is the way to go…Really, Marc?
Then how on earth can you possibly support abortion on demand, the ultimate anti-choice, terrorist, extremist position, seeing how:
1.) The children, whose lives are the most immediately, brutally, permanently and destructively impacted, are given NO CHOICE;
2.) Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of NARAL (Prior to Roe/Doe, this stood for the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws) has, since his 180 conversion to the prolife movement, stated that when he and Larry Lader (a population control freak like yourself) coined the phrases “pro-choice”/”freedom of choice” in order to make the massive slaughter of little boys and girls in utero more appealing /palatable to the American public, he knew just what a cynical phrase it is.
3.) History has definitely borne him out on this. Aside from the babies having no choice (if you wonder what they would choose, Dr. Nathanson has provided insight into this in his UNDOCTORED film, “The Silent Scream”), Frederica Mathewes-Greene has stated, “A woman does not want an abortion like she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche; she ‘chooses’ an abortion the way an animal caught in a trap ‘chooses’ to gnaw off its hind leg. Planned Parenthood, propagandists to the core, had to concede this to her because they know just how anti-choice abortion really is. Those of us who are actually in the pro-life movement have heard countless women spouting the “my body my choice” mantra going into America’s death camps; but after they come out, staggering, vomiting, bleeding, weak, crying, traumatized, what we hear is “I had to do it”. Acts of desperation, or coercion, are the exact antithesis of free choice.
Still not convinced? Consider this: Women generally try to get pregnant because they want children; they rarely, if ever, try to get pregnant so they can get abortions.
4. Have you ever wondered why the poor-choice (a much more appropriate way to reference induced abortion, whether legal or not) proponents fight informed consent & waiting laws wherever such proposals are introduced? The better to dupe you with, my dears…You see, Marc, they do this because there is such a very LARGE conflict of interests between the truth about abortion and the big, bloody bank accounts & social agendas of the abortion industry/lobby.
5. “A choice for women”…yet, of all the registered American voters alive in 1973, only nine were allowed to vote on Roe v. Wade & Doe v. Bolton…and all of them were men!
6. Many women have very personally found induced abortion to be the option that ends all choices, either reproductively or ultimately. For a list of women killed by the “choice” you so insensibly flout, please go to ldi.org and check out the Blackmun Wall. All of it. But be aware that those deaths comprise only a small tip of a huge iceberg. For further information on the physical risks of LEGAL induced abortion to women, please see afterabortion.org as well. Then too, Marc, do you have any idea just how little scar tissue it takes to block a human fallopian tube? Do you know what happens when a woman with such blockage gets pregnant? It’s called a tubal, or ectopic, pregnancy, and guess what’s so special about those? If they are not detected soon enough, they threaten the life of the WOMAN.
7. Then, the father of the child gets little or no choice. I have known men (real ones, whose natural masculine instincts to protect women and children from harm have not been castrated by pro-abortion sympathies) to suffer greatly from having their hands tied, legally, while their children were being, or about to be murdered. Some of them have committed suicide…another act of desperation, not real choice.
8. I couldn’t help noticing, Marc, the probability that you are alive. I have never seen a dead person key anything on a computer. And, I have never seen a population control freak seriously consider taking him or herself off the planet to conserve resources, etc…so it’s really hard to buy the “population bomb threat” as anything other than the weak, hysterical excuse for mass murder that it has been since Mr. Malthus invented it.
9. Child abuse has increased by well over 600% since Roe v. Wade, and there are well-documented reasons to directly connect this increase (SO NOT chosen by the abused children) with legalized abortion on demand.
10. Speaking of mass murder, one last thing about holocausts, past and present: The euphemism for killing an innocent baby in America is “choice”. The euphemism for sending Nazi prisoners to their deaths in the gas chambers, etc. was “selection.” Isn’t that a coincidence?! For more on the Nazi-abortion, please visit eugenics-watch.com, and don’t stop until you’ve finished.
Pro-abortion is the way to go to a barbaric, oppressive, totalitarian society; not to a civil, just, humane, free one: If you seriously prefer the former, they already exist outside of America; oick one and go there, and give those who prefer the latter a real (what a concept!) CHOICE!
THANKS!!

The other interesting about Nathanson is that he talked about how he and his cohorts literally MADE UP the ‘5,000 women dying each year’ number. It caught on, as we have seen…

to CS,
Yes, they knew that the real figures wouldn’t nearly suffice to garner the sympathy they sought. And, if the real maternal death numbers resulting from LEGAL induced abortion were all known, public support for legalized child-killing, already waning, would plummet.
