Partners in Crime: The ‘Supremes’ Couldn’t Have Axed Roe Without Plenty of Help from Democrats

Biden and Abortion

An enraged public has been haunting the houses of Supreme Court Justices threatening mischief and mayhem. Conversely little attention has been paid to their democratic enablers. Are they getting away scot-free? Not if Suspicious Angels can help it. Have you heard the indignation and outrage coming from top democrats, the likes of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and countless other democratic stalwarts? What they’d like you to forget is that several of those abortion-hating justices had plenty of help from their friends — presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden who promised to make Roe a federal law and didn’t, Nancy Pelosi and other leading congressional democrats expending a whole lot of energy to keep anti-abortion legislators in the House. To complete the perfidy, count on Bernie Sanders globe-trotting around the U.S. selling lefties out not for thirteen silver pieces but to preserve his place in the democratic hierarchy. In addition to their inaction on Roe, let us never forget their nearly 50-year history of authorizing the Hyde Amendment, a vicious law keeping abortion out of the reach of poor women. When all else fails, perhaps it’s time for some radical and extra-legal solutions. Suspicious Angels has you covered. Check us out in “Partners in Crime: The ‘Supremes’ Couldn’t Have Axed Roe Without Help from Democrats.

The Verdict is in: Poor Women Aren’t Entitled to an Abortion

Keep Abortion Legal

Outrage is the emotion most Americans feel when they learn Medicaid, the federal insurance program for the poor, does not cover abortion. Actually no. Most Americans are dead set against “their” tax money being used for other peoples’ abortions. They have plenty of company in the three branches of government —legislative, executive and judicial. What’s going on? Americans celebrating themselves as paragons of generosity and kindness turning thumbs down on helping poor women who want to terminate a pregnancy. Want to have an abortion and can afford to pay for it? A June Marist poll found overwhelming support (77%). Yes to abortions for women who can afford them, but hell no to the government paying for them. How do we make sense of these seeming contradictions? The answer may lie in the widening income gap between the very rich and the rest of us. Read “The Verdict is in: Poor Women Aren’t Entitled to an Abortion and decide for yourself.

Worried About the Supreme Court Making Abortion Illegal? For 15 Million Women It Already Is.

All hell has broken loose and the keepers of the pro-choice flame are outraged. With the retirement of Justice Kennedy, who hot-footed over to the White House to say his adieus personally, President Trump has plenty of time to appoint a rock-ribbed conservative pro-lifer (no more of this “swing” vote nonsense) and get his choice confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate. You know the kind he’s looking for— a wingnut determined to come between women and their uteruses.

It’s morning in America again and many of us take for granted that in a country purportedly governed by the rule of law, our civil liberties are constitutionally guaranteed and not up for grabs as they are in totalitarian countries.  A dangerous and false assumption. Buried deep in U.S. legal history are two Supreme Court […]
