In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with The Daily Wire, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-scott">Sen. Tim Scott, (R-SC)</a>, discussed the recent racially charged mass shooting in Buffalo, the Supreme Court’s pending decision on abortion, the ongoing protests at the homes of justices, and what it means to be a black conservative.  Below is the third of three articles on the interview.
WASHINGTON  — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/america-is-not-a-racist-country-after-buffalo-shooting-sen-tim-scott-urges-americans-to-heal-not-point-fingers">Sen. Tim Scott</a> finds the silence from most Democrats deafening as the U.S. Supreme Court and its conservative justices are being threatened in advance of a decision that may overturn Roe v. Wade.
The South Carolina Republican weighed in on threats during an exclusive sit-down with The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-abortion-extremists-threaten-to-burn-down-storm-supreme-court-murder-justices-government-memo-reveals">following a report</a> that government officials are investigating threats to murder the justices, burn down or storm the court, and attack houses of worship. These threats “are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling,” according to a May 13 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/05/18/supreme-court-abortion-roe-protests-violence">memo</a>.
&#8220;It is disgusting, despicable, and undeniable that the Department of Justice needs to stand up and take care, protect our justices and their families,&#8221; Scott told The Daily Wire. &#8220;This is a real threat that should be taken seriously.&#8221;
Scott emphasized that it is &#8220;our responsibility to stand in the gap&#8221; to protect both the American judicial system and the justices themselves, saying, &#8220;Count me in.&#8221;
&#8220;I would hope that all Americans would come together to defend the right embedded in our Constitution to free speech,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I would hope that we would send a clear message to folks who want to intimidate our justices: Not here, not now, not ever.&#8221;
Nationwide protests and demonstrations have followed <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473">the leak</a> of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion, an “unflinching repudiation” of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that made abortion a federal right. The document, which is not final, says Roe v. Wade was egregiously wrong.
On May 3, Chief Justice John Roberts <a href="https://www.axios.com/justice-roberts-abortion-leak-da48f1b2-087f-4a43-b037-068be226ce2c.html?stream=top&amp;utm_source=alert&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=alerts_all">released</a> a statement confirming that the draft document is real, but noting that it did not represent the Supreme Court’s final decision.
“We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce — permanent employees and law clerks alike — intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law,” the chief justice said.
“This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here,” he added, noting that he has “directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.”
Many on the right <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abortion-supporters-leaked-supreme-court-draft-to-intimidate-the-court-pro-life-advocates-say">have speculated</a> that the draft opinion was leaked by a progressive Supreme Court clerk in an effort to intimidate the court and change its decision — and as protests over the news continue, conservative activists and legal experts call for the Supreme Court to promptly release its decision.
Asked what role Democratic rhetoric surrounding Roe v. Wade has played in the escalating anger from pro-abortion activists, Scott criticized those lawmakers who have remained silent on the threats to the justices and to the court.
&#8220;When you don&#8217;t stand up against those folks in your party or in your centers of influence, the credibility is lost,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They have to stand up and say, &#8216;That is wrong. This is not the way we address the issue.'&#8221;
The White House issued a statement condemning acts of “violence, threats, or vandalism” after vandals set fire to a pro-life clinic in Wisconsin, <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexanderShur/status/1523320097993076737">scrawling on the clinic wall</a>: “If abortions aren’t safe, then you aren’t either.&#8221;
But the White House has not discouraged protesters from demonstrating at the homes of the justices. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, addressing the protesting at the justices homes, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-responds-abortion-related-protests-homes-supreme/story?id=84593964">said that</a> Biden&#8217;s view is that &#8220;there&#8217;s a lot of passion.&#8221;
Illinois Democrat Sen. Richard Durbin has been one of the few in his party to forcefully condemn the protests, <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/durbin-calls-protests-outside-supreme-132245123.html">calling them &#8220;reprehensible.&#8221;</a>
Scott said that Americans have the right to &#8220;say what you want to say in a peaceful, constructive manner,&#8221; they do not have the right to &#8220;threaten lives.&#8221;
&#8220;You don&#8217;t have the right to threaten murder,&#8221; he added, before referring to Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and her family. &#8220;You don&#8217;t have the right to make a mother of six or seven have to fear for the lives of her children.&#8221;
&#8220;That should not be a part of the job qualifications or the job duties,&#8221; he added.
Pro-abortion activists <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/womens-march-promises-summer-of-rage">have promised</a> a &#8220;Summer of Rage&#8221; as they prepare for an impending decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization, and the potential overturn of Roe v. Wade.
&#8220;We will be ungovernable until this government starts working for us, until the attacks on our bodies let up, until the right to an abortion is codified into law,” <a href="https://theweek.com/abortion-law/1013556/abortion-rights-protests-kick-off-planned-summer-of-rage">said</a> Women’s March President Rachel Carmona.
Scott urged pro-life Americans to meet this rhetoric, and the incoming &#8220;Summer of Rage,&#8221; with dignity and faith. &#8220;I believe in the power of prayer. It continues to work in my life. I would say we should all pray for our adversaries.&#8221;
&#8220;Be ready to defend yourself with affection, with love, and with the power and the resolve of your convictions,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We don&#8217;t back down from what we believe. We will not be intimidated into a small corner in any room. We&#8217;re going to stand outside. We&#8217;re going to shout to the top of our voices about what we believe in, what we have our convictions on.&#8221;
If pro-life Americans behave in this way, Scott said, the contrast will be remarkable between &#8220;those who want rage to fill the air and the screens of television&#8221;  and those who are &#8220;powerful and positive and committed to showing that peace does lead to life.&#8221;

Sen. Tim Scott Slams Dems For Silence Amid Threats To SCOTUS, Justices

In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with The Daily Wire, Sen. Tim Scott, (R-S.C.), discussed the recent racially charged mass shooting in Buffalo, the Supreme Court&#8217;s pending decision on abortion, the ongoing protests at the homes of justices, and what it means to be a black conservative.  Below is the second of three articles on the interview.
WASHINGTON — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-scott">Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott</a> believes that saying black women need abortions is a &#8220;gut punch&#8221; to women like Scott&#8217;s mother, who have spent their lives seeking the American dream for themselves and for their children.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Wire, Scott discussed his viral remarks to President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who during testimony on the Hill last week, looked Scott in the eye and suggested that black women need abortions in order to succeed.
“What we are talking about is whether or not women will have the ability to regulate their reproductive situation in ways that will enable them to plan lives that are fulfilling and satisfying for them,” Yellen said May 10, adding that one aspect of a satisfying life is to “feel that you have the financial resources to raise a child, that the children you bring into the world are wanted, and that you have the ability to take care of them.”

“In many cases,” she continued, “abortions are teenage women, particularly low income, and often black, who aren’t in a position to be able to care for children, have unexpected pregnancies, and it deprives them of the ability, often, to continue their education to later participate in the workforce.”

In a now viral clip, Scott told Yellen, “I’ll just simply say that, as a guy raised by a black woman in abject poverty, I am thankful to be here as a United States senator.”
It was a &#8220;heartbreaking moment,&#8221; Scott told The Daily Wire this week, calling Yellen&#8217;s remarks &#8220;callous.&#8221; According to Scott, she was effectively telling single mothers: &#8220;Your value to the marketplace is higher if you have an abortion.&#8221;
Yellen did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.
&#8220;I still find it shocking today that someone would actually say that,&#8221; the senator said. &#8220;And not only someone, but a powerful woman speaking to women who are going through really hard times, sometimes in broken places. But the most remarkable thing the sky, the Phoenix Rising, come from the most challenging places in the country.&#8221;
Asked how his mother would have responded to such remarks, Scott smiled.
&#8220;My mother would probably get a switch and have a conversation about right and wrong,&#8221; he said, before becoming more serious.
&#8220;The truth is that my mother would be shocked,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;She would be saddened. It would bring her to tears. It&#8217;s like a gut punch for women who are working their tails off, supporting their families, going the extra mile because they hope and pray that this country still affords the opportunity to achieve the American dream.&#8221;
To be spoken down to in such a &#8220;condescending tone&#8221; would have &#8220;broken her heart,&#8221; the senator said. &#8220;But it would have also angered her at the same time.&#8221;
Scott believes the rhetoric from pro-abortion government officials comes from a &#8220;deep, dark place.&#8221;
&#8220;I hope that we fight against those words,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;We fight against those folks who believe that somehow the value proposition to those living in poverty is less than the value proposition in other parts of our country.&#8221;
Scott also weighed in on <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/black-and-hispanic-people-have-the-most-to-lose-if-roe-is-overturned">claims suggesting</a> that black and Hispanic women have the most to lose if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
&#8220;Too often we see headlines and we see caricatures made of people in poverty who happen to be women of color, that reinforcing that stereotype that people have of us and of African-American women, Hispanic women, is something that we should all rally against,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And when we do that, I think we start learning the responsibility that we have as leaders to stand up for those.&#8221;
Americans cannot be silent about such media portrayals, the senator insisted.
&#8220;When we are silent to those headlines, especially those on the left who seem to enjoy this insulation from some of their friends in the media, they need to be standing up and stepping out and talking against these headlines that suggest that the only way forward is in the life of a child,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;People see &#8216;at risk,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;I see high potential. I know the difference, because I&#8217;ve been one and became the other.&#8221;

The Archbishop of San Francisco has informed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that she is not to receive holy communion at mass over her repeated support for abortion.
&#8220;In light of my responsibility as the Archbishop of San Francisco &#8230; I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publicly repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance,&#8221; San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said in a Friday letter to Pelosi.
She did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.
Cordileone&#8217;s announcement emphasized that Pope Francis, &#8220;in keeping with his predecessors, has likewise been quite clear and emphatic in teaching on the dignity of human life in the womb.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Archbishop Cordileone Letter To Nancy Pelosi " class="scribd_iframe_embed" src="https://www.scribd.com/embeds/575094519/content" data-aspect-ratio="0.7700854700854701" scrolling="no" id="575094519" width="500" height="750" frameborder="0"></iframe><script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var scribd = document.createElement("script"); scribd.type = "text/javascript"; scribd.async = true; scribd.src = "https://www.scribd.com/javascripts/embed_code/inject.js"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })() </script>
&#8220;This fundamental moral truth has consequences for Catholics in how they live their lives, especially those entrusted with promoting and protecting the public good of society,&#8221; the archbishop said. &#8220;Pope St. John Paul II was also quite consistent in upholding this constant teaching of the Church, and frequently reminded us that &#8216;those who are directly involved in lawmaking bodies have a ‘grave and clear obligation to oppose’ any law that attacks human life.”
Pelosi and Cordileone have discussed the matter in the past, the archbishop noted.
&#8220;In striving to follow this direction, I am grateful to you for the time you have given me in the past to speak about these matters,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Unfortunately, I have not received such an accommodation to my many requests to speak with you again since you vowed to codify the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision in federal law following upon passage of Texas Senate Bill 8 last September.&#8221;
&#8220;That is why I communicated my concerns to you via letter on April 7, 2022, and informed you there that, should you not publicly repudiate your advocacy for abortion &#8216;rights&#8217; or else refrain from referring to your Catholic faith in public and receiving Holy Communion, I would have no choice but to make a declaration, in keeping with canon 915, that you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion,&#8221; he added.
Cordileone also told Pelosi that he is ready to continue their conversations at any time, and that he will be praying and fasting for her change of heart.
&#8220;I also ask all of the faithful of the Archdiocese of San Francisco to pray for all of our legislators, especially Catholic legislators who promote procured abortion, that with the help and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they may undergo a conversion of heart in this most grave matter and human life may be protected and fostered in every stage and condition of life.&#8221;
In a separate letter to the priests in the San Francisco archdiocese, Cordileone revealed that he had reached out to Pelosi at least six times since September without response.
&#8220;In consequence of all this and all that has led up to it, it is my determined judgment that 
this resistance to pastoral counsel has gone on for too long, and there is nothing more that can be done at this point to help the Speaker understand the seriousness of the evil her advocacy for 
abortion is perpetrating and the scandal she is causing,&#8221; he told the priests. &#8220;I therefore issued her the aforementioned notification that she is not to be admitted to Holy Communion.&#8221;
CatholicVote President Brian Burch praised Cordileone&#8217;s handling of &#8220;the scandal posed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8221; on Friday afternoon.
&#8220;For too long Catholic public officials have created confusion and disunity by advocating for policies that destroy innocent human life – in direct contradiction of the teachings of the Catholic faith,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The persistent disobedience of these public officials is a source of enormous sadness and scandal that begged for a response.&#8221;
&#8220;The Church has no choice but to protect itself and to encourage all of its members to live in communion with its teachings,&#8221; Burch continued. &#8220;For the sake of Speaker Pelosi and the rest of the flock in his charge, Archbishop Cordileone is right to call her to return to full communion with the Church.  We hope and pray she will do so.”
Pelosi has been repeatedly criticized in the past for touting her Catholicism in connection to her pro-abortion stances, though Catholic doctrine <a href="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a5.htm">teaches</a> that abortion is “a crime against human life.”
In a May 2021 <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/05/11/archbishop-cordileone-nancy-pelosi-catholic-communion-biden/">interview</a> with The Daily Caller News Foundation, Cordileone shared that he has had “conversations” with Pelosi about abstaining from receiving Holy Communion at mass as a pro-abortion Catholic.
“She knows that I stand by Church teaching, and I know she’s respectful enough not to do anything so provocative,” the archbishop said.

In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with The Daily Wire, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-scott">Sen. Tim Scott, (R-S.C.)</a>, discussed the recent racially charged mass shooting in Buffalo, the Supreme Court&#8217;s pending decision on abortion, the ongoing protests at the homes of justices, and what it means to be a black conservative.  Below is the first of three articles on the interview.
WASHINGTON — In the wake of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/buffalo-mass-shooting-suspect-had-been-flagged-as-troubled-a-year-ago-report">racially motivated mass shooting</a> that left 10 dead and three wounded in Buffalo, one of the most powerful black lawmakers in the country is urging Americans to blame the shooter and not their political opponents.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-scott">Sen. Tim Scott, (R-S.C.)</a>, said there is precedent for coming together and healing after such a tragedy, and pointed to how his own state pulled together following a 2015 mass shooting, also by a white supremacist. In that attack, a white man <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/death-sentence-upheld-man-who-killed-9-south-carolina-church-n1277667">shot and killed</a> nine black members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston.
&#8220;A racist walked into a church and killed my friend, the pastor of the church &#8230; and eight other African-Americans simply because they were black,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;He sat through a Bible study for 90 minutes, pulled out a weapon and executed those nine lives.&#8221;
&#8220;And so for me, I don&#8217;t think about it from a political perspective first or second, think about it from just a human perspective of the loss of my friends,&#8221; he added.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Tim Scott Interview - Buffalo Shooting" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B8IswGYzJls?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Following the attack in Buffalo, many on the Left have sought to blame Republicans and Fox News star Tucker Carlson, even though there is no evidence the shooter was a fan of either. The Daily Wire will not name either mass shooter as part of a policy to deprive such killers of the notoriety they often crave.
Scott said the blame lies with the individual, and the responsibility for healing with all of us.
&#8220;Blaming the other side, looking for someone to be the fall person &#8212; it should be below leaders in America,&#8221; Scott said.
The solution the Biden Administration should be seeking is &#8220;unifying our country, not polarizing our country,&#8221; Scott said.
&#8220;Not looking for someone to blame on the right, not pretending that all the solutions are on the Left, but realizing that the American heart needs to be healed,&#8221; he explained, adding that Biden &#8220;should lead us towards that healing, that reconciliation, not look for someone on my side of the aisle to blame.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s just bad leadership,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And it didn&#8217;t happen in South Carolina. When that shooting happened in South Carolina, we rallied around the families. We didn&#8217;t point towards folks to blame. We rallied. We knew who to blame. It was the shooter in the church who murdered those lives.&#8221;
Scott emphasized the forgiveness that the families showed to the killer, even amid their pain.
&#8220;African Americans and white folks, 20,000, showed up at the largest bridge in Charleston, South Carolina, to say, in the place where the Civil War started, &#8216;We stand together,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;And because of of the scene that happened a couple of days before that, in a courtroom, when nine family representatives all walked into the courtroom, looked into a video camera, into the eyes of the killer and said, &#8216;We forgive you.&#8217; That&#8217;s the kind of powerful, positive leadership we need in this country that heals this nation, that restores hope in this nation.&#8221;
Scott rejects claims the United States is inherently racist, as many commentators have suggested in the aftermath of the Buffalo massacre. He drew on <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-56924704">his response</a> to President Joe Biden&#8217;s first address to Congress, in which the South Carolina senator declared, &#8220;Hear me clearly. America is not a racist country.&#8221;
&#8220;We are absolutely, positively, unequivocally better together,&#8221; Scott told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Are there threads of racism in too many in the fabric of this nation? Absolutely. We should cut every piece, every thread, every thread out of the fabric of America. We should be unequivocal on our approach to that.&#8221;
Most Americans love their country and respect one another, Scott said.
&#8220;The vast majority of Americans want the same thing,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;They want to raise their families, love their kids, their wives, their spouses. They want to be able to go to the ballgame and not hear gunfire. They want to be able to go to the movie and enjoy the end of the story. They want to go to dinner with the one that they love.&#8221;
Scott continued: &#8220;The good news is, all across this amazing and remarkable country, the story of redemption continues to be lived out. We see today you can live in any neighborhood you want to live in as long as you can afford to buy the house.&#8221;
The senator said that he has seen a great transformation of people in the United States throughout his lifetime, pointing to his <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2010/06/22/128020372/scott-beats-strom-thurmond-s-son-in-sc-for-gop-house">senatorial race</a> against Paul Thurmond, son of the late segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond.
&#8220;In South Carolina with a district that was 80% white, I won 68/32,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It reflects the evolution of the Southern heart. It says more about them than it did me. They wanted someone that matched the content of their character, not the color of their skin.&#8221;
&#8220;And the good news is [former opponent] Paul Thurmond is a fantastic guy,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Still a friend of mine. If we just remember how much we have in common, if we just remember who we are and why we aspire to be the world leader on topics of fairness and equality. We&#8217;ll be okay.&#8221;
Addressing how the Biden administration has handled racial issues so far, Scott pointed to Biden&#8217;s policies and the results of those policies.
&#8220;I would say if you&#8217;re looking at inflation, if you&#8217;re looking at crime rates, the Biden administration is failing the very people [of whom Biden] said &#8216;You can&#8217;t be black if you don&#8217;t vote for me,'&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;That&#8217;s awful.&#8221;
The senator asked that Americans imagine the struggle of &#8220;the average single mom living paycheck to paycheck when her gas price in South Carolina goes from a $1.99 in December 2020 to $4 a gallon right now.&#8221;
&#8220;A 100% increase in the cost of gas means a reduction in her choice of food, in clothing for her kids,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s think about the violent crimes,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;Too often, these absolutely atrocious situations are occurring in big blue cities where they&#8217;re all controlled by Democrats. Violent crime rates in those cities have skyrocketed to the point where 2019 homicides increased by 44%, and African-Americans and Hispanics represent 85% of that additional increase.&#8221;
The good news, according to Scott, is that there are Republicans who have &#8220;taken a strong, powerful stand on behalf of people working paycheck to paycheck.&#8221;
&#8220;What did we do when we had the opportunity?&#8221; he asked, referring to Republican wins during former President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration. &#8220;Well, we actually lowered the taxes of a single mother by 70%, federal taxes. We brought $4,000, on average, back to how every dual parent household.&#8221;
&#8220;We also saw the lowest poverty rate in the history of the country in 2019, in part because of the passage of opportunity zones, that brought $29 billion into the poorest, typically majority minority communities,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We saw unemployment rates go, for African-Americans, the lowest record ever recorded. Same is true for Hispanics. Same is true for Asians, and a 70-year low for women. So if you are looking for the right solution, look, right. If you&#8217;re looking for the wrong solution. You can look left.&#8221;

Liberal lawmakers and media members flocked to defend an abortionist grilled by Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy on Wednesday regarding her abortion procedures and the disposal of fetal remains.
Roy asked Yashica Robinson, <a href="https://www.aclu.org/bio/yashica-robinson-md">an abortionist</a> who is the medical director of Alabama Women’s Center and serves on the board of directors of Physicians for Reproductive Health, &#8220;Miss Robinson, I&#8217;m going to ask you a question, when is the latest that you have performed an abortion in terms of weeks, of the unborn child?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, my name is Dr. Robinson,&#8221; the abortionist responded, &#8220;And I provide abortion care in Alabama-&#8221;
&#8220;What is the answer to the question, the latest that you have performed an abortion?&#8221; asked Roy. &#8220;That&#8217;s a number, weeks.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to answer your question,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Unfortunately my state is one of those states that has passed restrictions or bans on abortion care, which limits physicians like myself-&#8221;
&#8220;In other words, you would like to do it later,&#8221; interrupted Roy. &#8220;What is the latest you have performed an abortion?&#8221;

&#8220;So since I will always follow the law, and I live in the state of Alabama, I provide abortion care up until 20 weeks gestational age,&#8221; she responded.
&#8220;Ok so you performed an abortion at 20 weeks,&#8221; Roy asked. &#8220;The procedure for an abortion, when we are talking about 20 weeks, as I understand it, is dilation and extraction, have you performed abortions at that stage and in doing so have you had baby parts that you have had to discard or store in some capacity? &#8230; Legs, arms, eyes?&#8221;
&#8220;One of the things that you all have done throughout this hearing is just use inflammatory language,&#8221; she began to tell the congressman.
&#8220;Ma&#8217;am, it is a simple question,&#8221; he told her. &#8220;Have you had human parts, baby parts, arms, legs, as a result of an abortion performed, at the time you just acknowledged you perform abortions, 20 weeks?&#8221;
&#8220;I am a physician and a proud abortion provider, there is nothing that you can say that makes it difficult for me to talk about the care that I provide,&#8221; she responded.
Liberal critics widely condemned Roy for interrupting Robinson and celebrated her reminder to the congressman that she has the word &#8220;doctor&#8221; as her title.
Mediaite framed its coverage of the story around Robinson&#8217;s &#8220;my name is Dr. Robinson&#8221; response to Roy.

Liberals Flock To Defend Abortionist Grilled Over The Handling Of Aborted Baby Body Parts

Liberals Defend Abortionist Who Calls Discussing Aborted Baby Body Parts 'Inflammatory'

WASHINGTON — Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks introduced legislation Wednesday banning the disposal of fetal remains in public waterways.
“Tossing unborn remains in to our water systems is barbaric, and if the American public knew about it they would be disgusted and horrified,&#8221; Banks said in a statement.
&#8220;This brutal reality is made possible by even more brutal abortion laws,&#8221; he added. &#8220;If Congressional Democrats get their way and legalize abortion till the moment of birth, nationwide, this far too common practice would become even more widespread.&#8221;
The Dignity for Fetal Remains Act of 2022 would ban abortion providers from placing fetal remains, embryos, or medical waste associated with abortions (like surgical equipment) into any kind of device that connects to a public waterway (such as a toilet, sink, or disposal).
The Daily Wire first obtained the legislation, which Banks called &#8220;commonsense,&#8221; saying it would &#8220;restore a small piece of dignity to the victims of abortion.”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Respectful Treatment for Unborn Remains" class="scribd_iframe_embed" src="https://www.scribd.com/embeds/574849404/content" data-aspect-ratio="0.7729220222793488" scrolling="no" id="574849404" width="500" height="750" frameborder="0"></iframe><script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var scribd = document.createElement("script"); scribd.type = "text/javascript"; scribd.async = true; scribd.src = "https://www.scribd.com/javascripts/embed_code/inject.js"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })() </script>
&#8220;For many years we have documented reports from across the country about the atrocious ways abortionists dispose of the bodies of unborn babies,&#8221; Cathie Humbarger, the founder of Reprotection, Inc., told The Daily Wire on Wednesday. &#8220;I am grateful to Congressman Banks for filing legislation today that will stop these practices.&#8221;
&#8220;We grieve the loss of these children and the emotional and physical trauma their mothers often experience after their abortion,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Until we can prevent these deaths, we must treat their bodies with respect just as we do the deceased bodies of every other human.&#8221;
In a press release announcing the Dignity for Fetal Remains Act, Banks’ office <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/garbage-disposal-incinerator-abortion-providers-debate-dispose-babies/">cited the pro-life organization Live Action&#8217;s</a> report that abortion providers were recorded admitting that &#8220;many&#8221; of the Detroit, Michigan, area abortion facilities frequently flushed baby body parts into garbage disposals or out into the sewer system.
<a href="https://s27589.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ARS_FetalDisposition_final.pdf">According to the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute</a>, violations of fetal disposition laws have been uncovered in a slew of states, including Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah.
These violations include failures to disinfect containers, sending baby body parts down sanitary sewers, disposing fetal remains in a solid waste landfill, or storing them in refrigerators.
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
&#8220;Due to the variability and archaic status of some state laws,&#8221; a Lozier Institute report says, &#8220;numerous fetal disposition methods have been employed as legal solutions by abortion facilities and waste disposal companies, including: flushing fetal body parts through the garbage disposal leading into the sewer system; dumping fetal remains into an auger along with medical waste and grinding them together; and having the fetal remains transported across state lines to another state’s dumpsters.&#8221;
</div>
</div>
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
&#8220;Stericycle, the largest known waste disposal company willing to transport and dispose of the remains of human fetal parts after abortion, has been found by at least two state departments to be in violation of state regulations specifically governing fetal disposition,&#8221; the report adds.

Pro-Life Bill Would Ban Abortionists From Flushing Aborted Baby Bodies Down Toilets, Sinks, Disposals

Banks Introduces Bill Banning Disposal Of Fetal Remains In Waterways

Pro-Life Movement

The escalating pro-abortion protests, rhetoric, and threats against people of faith hinge on hatred for the fundamental Christian respect for dignity and life that the United States was founded upon, CatholicVote President Brian Burch said Wednesday.
Burch weighed in on a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-abortion-extremists-threaten-to-burn-down-storm-supreme-court-murder-justices-government-memo-reveals">memo revealing</a> that the Department of Homeland Security is investigating threats to murder Supreme Court justices, burn down or storm the Supreme Court, and attacks on houses of worship and abortion clinics. The memo references threats that are &#8220;likely to persist&#8221; or increase as the court prepares to issue a major abortion ruling.
&#8220;We have already entered a new era of extreme religious bigotry and anti-Catholicism in the United States, perhaps worse than anything we&#8217;ve seen in the history of this country,&#8221; Burch said during an interview with The Daily Wire.
&#8220;The left is proposing a whole new understanding of America grounded in identity, race and sexuality,&#8221; he continued, warning that this new understanding of America &#8220;is intended to displace an understanding of America shaped by religious belief and moral and religious truth about the human person.&#8221;
The Daily Wire&#8217;s on-the-ground coverage of a pro-abortion rights rally in Washington, D.C. shows that many attending these demonstrations express fevered, anti-Catholic or anti-religious sentiments. &#8220;F*** your God,&#8221; they scream at pro-life protestors. &#8220;F*** your religion.&#8221; Ruth Sent Us, a leftist pro-abortion group, called for demonstrations in Catholic Churches on Mother&#8217;s Day and went so far as to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-must-investigate-pro-abortion-rights-activists-targeting-of-churches-as-religious-hate-crimes-congressman-says">publicly state</a> its intention to burn the Eucharist.
&#8220;This is a dramatic escalation in political rhetoric that&#8217;s now fueling both the protests and threats of violence,&#8221; he said.
The CatholicVote president expressed deep concerns at the Biden administration&#8217;s attitude towards these &#8220;escalating&#8221; leftist behaviors, especially considering the White House&#8217;s insistence that the president is a &#8220;devout Catholic.&#8221;  The Biden administration has said that it discourages violence at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/psaki-on-peaceful-protests-at-supreme-court-justices-homes-we-certainly-continue-to-encourage-that">homes of justices</a> but hasn&#8217;t weighed in on calls to protest in churches.
&#8220;The administration has been woefully silent on a pattern that&#8217;s emerged over the last several years of targeting an entire class of Americans, namely religious believers, and specifically Catholics,&#8221; Burch said, referring to more than 100 attacks on Catholic Churches <a href="https://www.usccb.org/committees/religious-liberty/Backgrounder-Attacks-on-Catholic-Churches-in-US">documented</a> by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.  &#8220;We have to understand what&#8217;s going on here. This is not merely a new set of extremism on the left that is being characterized as a corollary to incidents of extremism on the right.&#8221;
These threats of violence and &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; attacks represent a new era of leftist tactics aimed at institutions and a whole class of Americans who Burch said are &#8220;not directly involved in any political or judicial decision making.&#8221;
&#8220;The decision over Roe v .Wade is not being made inside that church, or the decision of how to regulate or to curb the incidences of abortion are not being made by Catholic priests or bishops or worshipers praying in church on Sunday,&#8221; Burch explained. &#8220;Yet these are the targets of the Left. And there&#8217;s nothing of its kind on the right that even compares.&#8221;
Nationwide protests and demonstrations follow the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473">news</a> of Justice Samuel Alito&#8217;s leaked draft opinion, an “unflinching repudiation” of Roe v. Wade. The document, which is not final, says Roe v. Wade was egregiously wrong.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito wrote. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Following the leak, conservative activists and legal experts <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/conservatives-legal-experts-call-for-justices-to-release-roe-v-wade-decision">quickly called</a> for the Supreme Court to release a final decision on Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
On May 3, Chief Justice John Roberts <a href="https://www.axios.com/justice-roberts-abortion-leak-da48f1b2-087f-4a43-b037-068be226ce2c.html?stream=top&amp;utm_source=alert&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=alerts_all">released</a> a statement confirming that the draft document is real, but emphasizing that it did not represent the Supreme Court’s final decision.
“We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce — permanent employees and law clerks alike — intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law,” the chief justice said.
“This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here,” he added, noting that he has “directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.”
Many on the right <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abortion-supporters-leaked-supreme-court-draft-to-intimidate-the-court-pro-life-advocates-say">have speculated</a> that the draft opinion was most likely leaked by a progressive Supreme Court clerk in an effort to intimidate the court and change its decision — and as protests over the news continue, conservative activists and legal experts call for the Supreme Court to promptly release its decision.

Political angst against conservatives has extended to one Missouri high school, where students overwhelmed an informational Turning Point USA meeting with jeering, shouting, and a protestor shattering a glass table.
TPUSA student activists hosted the informational meeting on Tuesday in the library at Lee’s Summit West High School, a meeting <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/aggressive-leftwing-students-jeer-intimidate-and-then-destroy-school-property-to-disrupt-and-end-tpusa-inaugural-club-meeting-at-missouri-high-school-video">intended</a> to welcome newcomers and help students share the group&#8217;s &#8220;pro-American message of freedom, fiscal responsibility, and limited government.&#8221;
But the high school&#8217;s Gay Sexuality Alliance and the Black Student Union used social media to urge students to come out and protest the TPUSA event, 17-year-old TPUSA student activist Kali Michael told The Daily Wire in a Tuesday evening phone interview.
The high school junior said that she and her fellow TPUSA activists posted informational signs all over the high school campus regarding their upcoming meeting. But the signs were all removed by students, she said.
<div id="attachment_383355" style="width: 632px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-383355" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-383355 size-full" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-9.04.07-AM.png" alt="" width="622" height="1194" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-9.04.07-AM.png 622w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-9.04.07-AM-156x300.png 156w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-9.04.07-AM-300x576.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px" />A protest flyer against the TPUSA event.

School officials who were supposed to attend the event as her sponsors deserted her as controversy mounted, she said. Kali described rushing around the school minutes before the event began, urgently seeking an adult to be present during their meeting as the school required.
&#8220;They definitely abandoned me literally last minute,&#8221; she said. &#8220;First hour, my first sponsor said he was dropping out. My second hour, my second sponsor said he was dropping out. Same with our third person that said he would support us if we didn&#8217;t have any other sponsors. And then he said no as well. And then during my third hour &#8230; I was running around trying to find people &#8230; I literally found a teacher maybe a minute before a meeting started.&#8221;
Video footage of the event shows Kali, dressed in jeans and an American flag sweater, attempting to speak to students who repeatedly interrupted her and can be heard jeering and laughing in the background.

The library holds about 90 students, Kali said, but so many students filled the building that it was completely full and students were amassed outside and looking in the windows. Many of the conservative students who wanted to attend the meeting were not able to get into the room because of the protesting students, and Kali&#8217;s own sister couldn&#8217;t make it in.
Kali said she wasn&#8217;t scared — she had prayed with her fellow TPUSA officers before the meeting, but she was stressed from running around trying to ensure that the required adult school administrator was present for the meeting.
<div id="attachment_383350" style="width: 738px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-383350" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-383350 " src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/IMG_0604.jpeg" alt="" width="728" height="704" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/IMG_0604.jpeg 1170w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/IMG_0604-300x290.jpeg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/IMG_0604-595x576.jpeg 595w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/IMG_0604-768x743.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" />Photo courtesy of Kali M.</div>
&#8220;We were supposed to to just stay calm and collected,&#8221; Kali said. &#8220;And so that&#8217;s exactly what we did.&#8221;
The student said that the school&#8217;s assistant principal attended the meeting and tried to restore order as students became more angry. In the video, Kali pointed out, the assistant principal can be heard telling students that the meeting is over.
As the video ends, a young girl walks towards the camera, apparently leaving the room. She suddenly stops and steps aside as Kali gasps and covers her face with her hands, and the students in the room can be seen exclaiming excitedly. A &#8220;large&#8221; masked young man with long blonde hair had suddenly entered the room, Kali said, grabbed a table covered in the group&#8217;s informational materials, flipped it, and threw it onto the floor towards Kali, shattering glass all over the floor.
<div id="attachment_383402" style="width: 738px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-383402" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-383402 size-full" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EE392C07-3715-44C5-8B12-C5BBB7C82D97.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="1334" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/EE392C07-3715-44C5-8B12-C5BBB7C82D97.jpg 728w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/EE392C07-3715-44C5-8B12-C5BBB7C82D97-164x300.jpg 164w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/05/EE392C07-3715-44C5-8B12-C5BBB7C82D97-314x576.jpg 314w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" />Photo courtesy of Kali M.</div>
In the video, a stunned Kali covers her face in disbelief as someone shouts, &#8220;Hey guys, there&#8217;s glass, don&#8217;t come this way!&#8221; The assistant principal ran after the student who flipped the table, Kali said, noting that she noticed the young man and the assistant principal walking side by side later on that day.
&#8220;He wasn&#8217;t in the meeting either,&#8221; she said of the student who flipped the table. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t listen to what the presentation was, he wasn&#8217;t in the room, he was outside of the room. Pushed the door open, flipped the table.&#8221;
Overcome by the incident but unwilling to allow her opponents see her cry, Kali can be seen wiping tears from her face in the video.
&#8220;I wanted to stay as calm and collected as I could, and I tried really hard, but I had already had kind of a rough day, and then that kind of threw me over the edge,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was upset, and then I saw our secretary start crying, so I started crying.&#8221;
The school officials cleared the room of students except for Kali and one other TPUSA activist, apparently fearing for their safety, Kali said. When a student came to the door and asked to talk to Kali, the activities director cracked the door and initially refused that student entrance.
&#8220;Last week, when I started hearing about people protesting and starting a petition against us, I had gone to our principal asking for a resource officer and he had told me that he didn&#8217;t feel like it was necessary,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He made kind of a good point. He was like, &#8216;The last thing that is going to be good for your club is a video of someone getting a hold of a video of a police officer escorting someone out. And I kind of understood that from that point.&#8221;
The school did not immediately address why it did not provide the TPUSA students with a resource officer.

In a statement shortly after the incident, principal Dr. Chad Hertzog noted that students “attended the meeting to voice their concerns&#8221; and said that “the school processed a disciplinary issue.&#8221;
The Daily Wire pressed the high school on why it did not specify what type of disciplinary issue or why the school did not condemn the treatment that Kali and her TPUSA colleagues received.
The school&#8217;s Executive Director of Public Relations Katy Bergen told The Daily Wire late Tuesday evening that the TPUSA meeting was &#8220;held during an open period for students and open to any student who wanted to attend.&#8221;
Bergen, whose email signature notes the pronouns she would like to be addressed with, reminded The Daily Wire that &#8220;students have the right to protest peacefully, including in the school setting.&#8221;
&#8220;An individual did choose to flip over a table, causing the glass to shatter,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;The decision to turn over the table was limited to one individual and immediately addressed by administrators in accordance with district discipline policy. I cannot provide additional details to you or to parents because student discipline information is protected by student privacy laws.&#8221;
Students peacefully returned to class after the incident, she said.
Kali described a politically hostile peer environment at her high school, located near the increasingly liberal Kansas City, Missouri. She emphasized that her school principal has remained helpful and cooperative as she navigated beginning the TPUSA club on campus, but expressed disappointment in the statement that he issued following Tuesday&#8217;s events.
According to Kali, the school activities director went so far as to tell her that the school had decided her club could not go by the name TPUSA  — a statement that her principal would later deny to her. Lee’s Summit West High School has not responded to a request for comment on this point.
Kali believes that the incident and lead up to the informational meeting were intimidation tactics spurred by leftist hatred for TPUSA and conservative view points. &#8220;They definitely wanted people not to show up,&#8221; she said.
There have been many media reports on such incidents occurring on college campuses, but high schoolers intimidating one another to shut down a club over its political views is less common.
Kali thinks that &#8220;indoctrination and social media has a lot to do with it.&#8221;
&#8220;Our students are getting pushed down these views younger and younger,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I feel like they feel like they&#8217;re doing something righteous, being activist, for their views, thinking that they&#8217;re doing something good in their life.&#8221;
Kali plans to attend the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and get her bachelor&#8217;s degree in marketing and her associate&#8217;s degree in political science. &#8220;I like leadership roles,&#8221; she said with a laugh, &#8220;but after today I was kind of thinking that I might want to be in the background.&#8221;

Pro-abortion extremists are reportedly threatening to burn down the Supreme Court building and murder justices and the clerks, prompting law enforcement to ready itself for political violence should Roe v. Wade be overturned.
A May 13 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/05/18/supreme-court-abortion-roe-protests-violence">memo obtained by Axios</a> revealed that government officials are investigating threats to the justices, the clerks, to places of worship, and to abortion clinics.
The memo references threats that came after someone, possibly a clerk, leaked a draft opinion indicating Roe v. Wade will likely be overturned.
These threats &#8220;are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling,&#8221; the memo said.
Axios reported that the memo attempts to link the pro-life movement to white supremacy, highlighting pro-life violence in the past. But the memo emphasizes that the extremist acts might come from pro-abortion individuals.
&#8220;The mere advocacy of political or social positions, political activism, use of strong rhetoric, or generalized philosophic embrace of violent tactics does not constitute domestic violent extremism or illegal activity and is constitutionally protected,&#8221; the memo adds, according to Axios.
A DHS spokesperson told The Daily Wire on Wednesday:  “DHS is committed to protecting Americans&#8217; freedom of speech and other civil rights and civil liberties, including the right to peacefully protest. DHS is also committed to working with our partners across every level of government and the private sector to share timely information and intelligence, prevent all forms of violence, and to support law enforcement efforts to keep our communities safe.”
POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473">broke the news</a> May 2 that the Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark decision, reporting that Justice Samuel Alito had written an opinion draft that is an “unflinching repudiation” of Roe v. Wade.
The draft majority opinion, which is not final, says Roe v. Wade was egregiously wrong.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Following the leak of the draft opinion last Monday, conservative activists and legal experts <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/conservatives-legal-experts-call-for-justices-to-release-roe-v-wade-decision">quickly called</a> for the Supreme Court to release its decision on Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
“Obviously no one can actually force the Chief Justice’s hand,” Judicial Crisis Network’s Carrie Severino told The Daily Wire in early May, “but he may want to release the opinion early to avoid exposing the Court to further pressure and intimidation tactics that risk undermining the Court as an institution as a result of the draft opinion hanging out there for what could be months.”
The unprecedented leak has sent shockwaves throughout Washington, with commentators noting that a draft decision has never been publicly released in the modern history of the court.
On May 3, Chief Justice John Roberts <a href="https://www.axios.com/justice-roberts-abortion-leak-da48f1b2-087f-4a43-b037-068be226ce2c.html?stream=top&amp;utm_source=alert&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=alerts_all">released</a> a statement confirming that the draft document is real, but emphasizing that it did not represent the Supreme Court’s final decision.
“We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce — permanent employees and law clerks alike — intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law,” the chief justice said.
“This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here,” he added, noting that he has “directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.”
Many on the right <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abortion-supporters-leaked-supreme-court-draft-to-intimidate-the-court-pro-life-advocates-say">have suggested</a> that the draft opinion was most likely leaked by a progressive Supreme Court clerk in an effort to intimidate the court and change its decision — and as protests over the news continue, conservative activists and legal experts call for the Supreme Court to promptly release its decision on Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
In an early May editorial, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board expressed concerns that an “abortion fanatic” might “commit an act of violence” in an effort to subvert the court’s expected decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“One question is how fast the Court should now move to publish its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,” <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-supreme-court-leak-on-roe-v-wade-samuel-alito-john-roberts-abortion-draft-opinion-11651605792">the board said</a>. “There’s an argument for getting it out fast to make it a fait accompli.”
“Politico said the Alito draft was circulated in February, so the Justices have had ample time to absorb it and respond,” it continued. “We hate to say this, but some abortion fanatic could decide to commit an act of violence to stop a 5-4 ruling. It’s an awful thought, but we live in fanatical times.”

Pro-Abortion Extremists Threaten To Burn Down, Storm Supreme Court, Murder Justices, Government Memo Reveals

Abortion Activists Threaten To Murder Supreme Court Justices In Memo

A Michigan judge who ruled Tuesday in favor of abortionists admitted earlier this year that she is an annual Planned Parenthood donor and abortion supporter and has even represented the abortion giant in a case challenging the same law decades ago.
Court of Claims Chief Judge Elizabeth Gleicher granted a preliminary injunction to Planned Parenthood of Michigan on Tuesday, claiming that the Planned Parenthood affiliate was likely to prevail in its lawsuit claiming that a <a href="https://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/mcl/pdf/mcl-328-1931-III.pdf">1931 law</a> (banning abortions except to save the life of the mother) violated the state constitution.
The case comes amid panic from pro-abortion advocates over an impending decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization following the leak of a draft opinion showing that Supreme Court justices may overturn Roe v. Wade.
Gleicher specifically notes in her opinion that &#8220;as of the date this opinion is issued, it is unknown whether the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade,&#8221; but that &#8220;should the United States Supreme Court overrule Roe v. Wade, plaintiffs and their patients face a serious danger of irreparable harm if prevented from accessing abortion services.&#8221;
She did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Michigan Court of Claims Abortion Ruling" class="scribd_iframe_embed" src="https://www.scribd.com/embeds/574616853/content" data-aspect-ratio="0.770940170940171" scrolling="no" id="574616853" width="500" height="750" frameborder="0"></iframe><script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var scribd = document.createElement("script"); scribd.type = "text/javascript"; scribd.async = true; scribd.src = "https://www.scribd.com/javascripts/embed_code/inject.js"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })() </script>
&#8220;Because it is impossible to predict when the United States Supreme Court will issue a decision in Dobbs, the Court finds that the issuance of immediate preliminary injunctive relief warranted to avoid the necessity of another motion and further briefing,&#8221; she wrote in a footnote. &#8220;Should Dobbs not overrule Roe, or result in a ruling that calls into question any portion of the Court&#8217;s analysis, the parties will be expected to advise the Court of the need for additional briefing and a hearing.&#8221;
Gleicher previously represented Planned Parenthood in 1997 in a case that involved challenging the very same abortion ban in question, <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/04/15/michigan-judge-gleicher-assigned-abortion-law-case-donor-planned-parenthood/7323810001/">according to The Detroit News</a>, reporting that the Michigan state Court of Appeals upheld the law at the time.
The judge disclosed her ties to Planned Parenthood in an April 2022 letter to attorneys that claimed her assignment to the 2022 case was random, the publication reported. It does not appear that any of the parties involved with the suit challenged her assignment to the case.
&#8220;While Judge Gleicher does not believe this warrants her recusal, and is certain that she can sit on this case with requisite impartiality and objectivity, she believes that this letter of disclosure is appropriate,&#8221; the letter said, according to The Detroit News. &#8220;If any party disagrees with Judge Gleicher&#8217;s assessment, an appropriate motion may be filed.&#8221;
But Right to Life of Michigan&#8217;s Genevieve Marnon spoke out against Gleicher&#8217;s support for Planned Parenthood, telling The Detroit News, &#8220;It seems very difficult to remain impartial under those circumstances.&#8221;
Not only has Gleicher frequently donated to Planned Parenthood, she has also frequently contributed to Democratic candidates and organizations like the major pro-abortion rights group Emily&#8217;s List and the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee, according to The Detroit News.
She also donated to Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is a defendant in the 2022 abortion case, the publication reported, noting that Nessel&#8217;s office previously said that it did not have reason to believe that Gleicher&#8217;s pro-abortion rights contributions and beliefs would make her biased in the case.
&#8220;There are clear ethical rules that govern conflict and disqualifications,&#8221; Nessel spokeswoman Lynsey Mukomel told The Detroit News earlier this year. &#8220;Judge Gleicher disclosed her past associations out of an abundance of caution and correspondence from the Court states Judge Gleicher, ‘…does not believe this warrants her recusal, and is certain that she can sit on this case with requisite impartiality and objectivity.’”
Under the <a class="gnt_ar_b_a" href="https://casetext.com/rule/michigan-court-rules/michigan-code-of-judicial-conduct/canon-7-a-judge-or-a-candidate-for-judicial-office-should-refrain-from-political-activity-inappropriate-to-judicial-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t-l=":b|e|inline click|${u}">Michigan code for judicial conduct,</a> judges may make political contributions, but they cannot endorse a candidate. The Detroit News notes that several Republican judicial appointees have donated to Republican candidates.
John Bursch, Senior Counsel and VP for Appellate Advocacy with Alliance Defending Freedom, told The Daily Wire that the court&#8217;s ruling is &#8220;egregious for many reasons&#8221; and that &#8220;Right to Life of Michigan and the Michigan Catholic Conference are considering their next steps.&#8221;
&#8220;Because the defendant, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, was not defending the law, the judge had no jurisdiction to rule in this case at all,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What’s more, the Michigan Court of Appeals previously held that the same pro-life law is valid under Michigan’s Constitution—in a case where Planned Parenthood was represented by the same judge who issued today’s ruling. Michigan citizens are entitled to neutral decision makers, and government officials have a duty to uphold the law and protect their citizens, including unborn children.&#8221;
Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a vocal abortion rights proponent, celebrated the Tuesday ruling as &#8220;an important victory for Michiganders.&#8221;
“The opinion from the Michigan Court of Claims is clear and sends the message that Michigan’s 1931 law banning abortion, even in cases of rape or incest, should not go into effect even if Roe is overturned,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It will help ensure that Michigan remains a place where women have freedom and control over their own bodies.&#8221;
But the work of pro-abortion rights advocates is far from over, Whitmer said.
“I want every Michigander to know: no matter what happens in DC, I’m going to fight like hell to protect access to safe, legal abortion in Michigan,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;That’s why last month, I filed a lawsuit and used my executive authority to urge the Michigan Supreme Court to immediately resolve whether Michigan’s state constitution protects the right to abortion once and for all.&#8221;
&#8220;While today’s preliminary injunction offers immediate, critical relief, we need the Michigan Supreme Court to weigh in and establish the right to abortion under our state constitution,&#8221; Whitmer said. &#8220;We must protect the rights of nearly 2.2 million women in Michigan to make decisions about their bodies because however we personally feel about abortion. A woman’s health, not politics, should drive important medical decisions.”
Whitmer did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.

&#8220;Athletic teams or sports designated for males, men, or boys shall not be open to students of the female sex, unless no team designated for females in that sport is offered at the school in which the student is enrolled,&#8221; the bill text reads. &#8220;Athletic teams or sports designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex.&#8221;
McMaster signed the legislation on Monday. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.
The move makes South Carolina the 16th state to explicitly ban biological males from women&#8217;s sports, according to the American Principles Project (APP): Idaho, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, West Virginia, Montana, Alabama, Florida, Texas, South Dakota, Iowa, Oklahoma, Arizona, Utah, and Kentucky have also passed such legislation.
“Male athletes do not belong in our daughters’ sports, period,&#8221; APP President Terry Schilling said, referring to the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/americans-oppose-transgender-surgeries-anti-puberty-blockers-for-minors-poll">organization&#8217;s polling showing</a> that the majority of Americans do not support trans surgeries or puberty blockers for minors. &#8220;This is a view shared by an overwhelming majority of Americans, as our recent polling of battleground states has shown. Biology matters, and no amount of gaslighting by woke ideologues will change that.&#8221;
Schilling noted that &#8220;there is no excuse left for those states that haven’t&#8221; passed such legislation, &#8220;particularly those led by Republicans.&#8221;
&#8220;This is now a litmus-test issue for the GOP, and voters will be paying attention to what their leaders either do or fail to do as we approach the midterms,&#8221; he added.
Progressive groups had succeeded in defeating 8 different versions of the bill between 2020 and 2022, South Carolina United for Justice and Equality (a coalition of over 30 LGBTQ organizations) said in a press release.
“The passage of this extreme political attack of a bill brings up so many feelings: Sadness for the trans youth who will now experience school as a place of exclusion; Anger at the lawmakers who perpetuated violence and ignorance with their vote; and fear for the many youth who will see this news and feel rejected and erased,&#8221; Executive Director of Gender Benders Ivy Hill said in a statement. &#8220;I also feel pride for the thousands of South Carolinians who have taken action against this attack, and I know that we will never stop fighting. Our coalition is exploring every strategy possible to ensure dignity and equality for transgender people in SC.”
Before the governor signed the bill, Hill urged McMaster &#8220;to do what six governors before him&#8221; had done (including three Republican governors): &#8220;Veto this unnecessary, dangerous bill.&#8221;
&#8220;To do anything less is to waste taxpayer dollars defending a bill that has already been ruled unconstitutional by two federal judges, including one in West Virginia,&#8221; said Hill, who also swerves as Community Health Program Director of Campaign for Southern Equality. &#8220;H.4608 is a frivolous attempt to address a manufactured problem, and it has no place in South Carolina.&#8221;

New legislation introduced by Republican Florida Rep. Scott Franklin zeroes in on allegations that abortion providers are profiting from the sale of fetal remains.
The Prohibiting Abortion Industry’s Lucrative Loopholes Act, first obtained by The Daily Wire, prohibits payments, reimbursements, gifts, or compensation of fetal tissue by closing the “valuable consideration” loophole in current law and punishing violators with fines or up to ten years in prison.
&#8220;Abortion providers should never be allowed to profit off the death of innocent victims,&#8221; Franklin told The Daily Wire. &#8220;The fact that they can exploit a loophole in the law to do so is a terrible congressional oversight that should have been addressed years ago.&#8221;
Though Congress outlawed the for-profit sale of fetal remains in 1993, organizations like the Planned Parenthood Federation of America have <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/planned-parenthood-stops-taking-reimbursements-for-fetal-tissue-1444744800">publicly</a> acknowledged payments for fetal tissue but explain them away by claiming they were only reimbursed for costs.
Planned Parenthood has subsequently said it would no longer accept even reimbursement for fetal remains when Center for Medical Progress (CMP) President David Daleiden, a pro-life activist, secretly recorded and published videos of Planned Parenthood employees in 2013 and 2014 <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/17/planned-parenthood-video-abortions/">purportedly discussing</a> the sale of fetal body parts.
Though Planned Parenthood sued both Daleiden and the CMP in March 2016, saying the videos were deceptively edited, the footage has had a lasting impact on pro-life legislation and rhetoric and prompted scrutiny of Planned Parenthood by authorities and lawmakers.

The Public Health Service Act currently <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/guidance/public-law-103-43/index.html#:~:text=498B.,the%20transfer%20affects%20interstate%20commerce.">states</a> that &#8220;it shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce.&#8221;
The act also states that it is unlawful for anyone to &#8220;solicit or knowingly acquire, receive, or accept a donation of human fetal tissue for the purpose of transplantation of such tissue into another person&#8221; if the &#8220;person who solicits or knowingly acquires, receives, or accepts the donation has provided valuable consideration for the costs associated with such abortion.&#8221;
Franklin&#8217;s legislation proposes redefining &#8220;valuable consideration&#8221; to include &#8220;any payment made or debt incurred,&#8221; &#8220;any gift, honorarium, or recognition of value bestowed,&#8221; &#8220;any price, charge, or fee which is waived, forgiven, reduced, or indefinitely delayed,&#8221; &#8220;any loan or debt which is canceled or otherwise forgiven,&#8221; &#8220;the transfer of any item from one person to another or provision of any service or granting of any opportunity for which a charge is customarily made, without charge or for a reduced charge,&#8221; &#8220;and any payments associated with the transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control, or storage of human fetal tissue.’’
The legislation is supported by the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List and co-sponsored by a slew of Republicans, including Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, Alex Mooney of West Virginia, Ben Cline of Virginia, Brian Mast of Florida, Jim Banks of Indiana, Jody Nice of Georgia, and Andy Biggs of Arizona.
In December 2016, then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley referred multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates and companies to the FBI and the Department of Justice for investigation and possible prosecution.
“I don’t take lightly making a criminal referral,&#8221; Grassley said at the time. &#8220;But, the seeming disregard for the law by these entities has been fueled by decades of utter failure by the Justice Department to enforce it.&#8221;
&#8220;And, unless there is a renewed commitment by everyone involved against commercializing the trade in aborted fetal body parts for profit, then the problem is likely to continue,&#8221; he added.
