Oh look! A story with NO source and NO factual support

Fake News!

Here's a reminder of what it was like before Roe v Wade.

Seems to me that you are the one wailing and crying. Most people understand that the Supreme Court could very well overturn this ruling, what makes you think that can't or won't happen? This is reality.
A state has every right to make anything illegal it chooses to if it's not covered under the Fed responsibilities. That's how it's supposed to work. Don't like the laws? Move.

Calm down, I am an independent and no such thing will happen.


"Nomination has to be blocked" - get a grip. It is not going to happen with a repub president and a republican controlled senate. You should have thought about these things before nominating that stupid Hillary as your nominee. Once you did that you were finished. Also, you let Harry Reid change the rules and now it is coming to bite you in the .....

I wonder how many more PAID loons are going to interrupt the hearings today? None of the Democrats planned on voting for the candidate before they even knew much about him so why on earth does all this theater matter?
I wonder if the public will ever know who paid these loons along with who's providing all the "protesters" outside the hearings?

What's really absurd is those Senators that are today claiming "this is a very solemn process" after all the theater they've participated in over the last 2 days.

I did love one Senator who said on the subject of demanding they make the candidate's emails public "fine, we should pass a rule making ALL the Senators emails that have anything to do with this hearing public in the interest of full disclosure". GREAT IDEA!

Absolutely it does. They have every right to pass any laws they wish as long as they pass Constitutional muster. But then again, the citizens of this country have every right to raise hell if they don't like that law. I understand that it would be more convenient and pleasant for you if those that disagree with you simply move. No one will be moving anywhere, because Americans have the courage of their convictions.

Baloney. Even it they did, there is always the next state over. Abortions should be expensive and paid for by the man.

Paranoid and fear monger much? Guess you are finished then because he's going to be nominated.

The whole thing is a circus. The vote is pre-determined. Everyone knows he will be confirmed. The proceedings are just being used for grandstanding and campaigning. The lady from Hawaii was the worst that I heard in this regard. "I am just going to make a speech to please my voting base. I may toss in a question here and there so my speeches do not get interrupted, but I am not going to allow you to answer - this is my speech time, you just be quiet. I do not get much opportunity to speak in a nationally reported venue."

Did everyone see the protester holding a sign being interviewed? When asked why he doesn't like the guy, he replied "I'm just here to hold the sign." Haha!
