Spoof: AG Mark Levin won’t enforce Roe v. Wade
Barely twenty-four hours after her inauguration as America’s first woman chief executive, President Sarah Palin announced today that Attorney General Mark Levin has been instructed to stop defending Roe v. Wade and abortion in a wave of fresh lawsuits filed in federal courts around the country.

Lolz. I do think the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional because of the full faith and credit clause, but when a law is unconstitutional, you use democratic channels to change it. You don’t tell your justice department to stop defending it.
Tell that to Barack.
I can just imagine the outrage if this ever happened. The left would start impeachment proceedings before the end of the day.
This was my exact thought when I heard the Obama Justice Dept. would not defend laws criminalizing gay marriage. Of course, Palin is a bad example to use, since she does not believe the unborn child has an unalienable right to life.
I agree Marauder. This isn’t about who does or doesn’t support what kind of marriage: it’s about democracy and how our so-called president disregards it.
Nathan, that’s not what the Defense of Marriage Act is about. It means that states that don’t have same-sex marriage don’t have to acknowledge same-sex marriages performed in other states.
Carder: I might, if I thought he’d care…
Sydney: I don’t think Obama has any regard for the democratic history of this country except when it suits him. The idea that this guy used to teach constitutional law is incredible.
UN-stinking-BELIEVABLE: The story about Obama is NOWHERE on the following news sites:
ABCNews.com
MSN
CBS
CNN
None of them are covering Obama’s complete and utter disregard for democracy. What are they reporting instead? Each site has a headline story about “rep asked who will shoot Obama” and “4 Amish children die in accident”. Not that those aren’t news too, but what the hey??!!
CatholicOnline still has it as a headline story. But I just can’t believe my eyes: did the mainstream media really think they could just barely cover this in a blink and then hope no one noticed? At the very least, you’d think some gay activists would be speaking out in some kind of positive way and THAT would make the news.
In the 80’s I spoke to a Russian woman who had just moved to the US. She said, “At least in Russia, we know our news is lies. Here, you Americans actually believe it.”
True, that.
And if anyone here is familiar with Mark Levin, boyfriend is an absolute riot. He’d have no problem telling people what they can do with Roe vs. Wade. And it ain’t pretty.
Can anyone explain to me why Nathan thinks Mrs. Palin doesn’t support unborn life?
I Read Somewhere once,that in cases of rape/incest she supports. I would LOVE to get clarification on this from someone/anyone. I believe Pro -Life Is Whole Life.
If we do not challenge Obama on this in the strongest way possible he will not stop here! Remember–the key word that describes him is one he used himself…”audacity”. Audaciousness knows no bounds, especially when it comes to sociopaths.
When Rush said he hopes Obama fails, many people including some conservatives thought that had gone too far. Two years into the annointed one’s presidency do they think that now?
I Read Somewhere once,that in cases of rape/incest she supports.
I tend to not believe most things that I “read somewhere” about Sarah Palin; if I did, I’d think she called Trig a retard, bribed people to vote for Bristol on DWTS, and nearly divorces Todd about every week and a half.
Ditto, Marauder.
What a fantasy world you “prolifers” live in. Palin will never be president, and Mark Levin is such a slimeball he makes Al Sharpton look like a Saint.
Larry,
The irony isn’t that Palin will be president, but the uproar the mainstream media would make if she said her justice department would no longer support the constitutionality of Roe v Wade.
Bill
Bill, thank goodness we’ll never have to find that out. Ever.
“… laws criminalizing gay marriage.”
No such laws exist. Something that does not exist cannot be criminalized. It’s like passing a law criminalizing making oneself transparently invisible.
Marriage is the union of a male human and a female human for the purpose of reproduction and care of the offspring. There are other benefits but that is the fundamental purpose. Some want only those other purposes, and avoid the root purpose of marriage, but that does not obviate the basic purpose.
Two men or two women inherently cannot reproduce by sexual union with one another. Their inability is not due to some defect, or failure to sexually unite with one another (because they cannot). Therefore marriage cannot exist between two of the same gender.
Homosexuals have the same rights regarding sexuality and marriage as do heterosexuals. A male homosexual has the same right to marry an agreeable woman, and many do, as a male heterosexual has. A female homosexual has the same right to marry an agreeable man, and many do, as a female heterosexual has.
Not nearly all homosexuals are exclusively homosexual. They are still called “homosexual” as that is their predominant sexual conduct. Sometimes called “bisexual” but when behaving heterosexually they are not being deviant. It is when they are behaving homosexually that they are being deviant.
Marriage is a relationship in law arising from the conduct of a man and a woman who are mutually consenting. Marriage is not a mere contract, though it may originate in a contract and may have one or more contracts appending.
Laws taxing and regulating marriage are directory and not mandatory. A marriage may exist yet not be officially recognized by the state due to various reasons, usually the failure to pay the tax (marriage license tax) and obtain permission (license) from one’s master. That two have paid the marriage tax, has received permission from the master of one or both parties, the ceremony has been recorded, they have begun to cohabit, share a surname, etc., etc., do not in themselves prove that a marriage exists.
The state can pass all the statutes they wish and that will not make homosexual pairings marriages. The state can decree that a sheep has six legs and you still will not see sheep with six legs. Defining “insect” as “sheep” doesn’t make an insect a sheep nor a sheep an insect, despite decreeing that sheep have six legs.
Sarah Palin is a conditional Pro-Lifer. A Pro-Most-Life-Most-of-the-Time-Lifer. Well, I would venture that most pro-abortionists don’t think that every baby should be killed. Even Peter Singer* doesn’t promote that.
*WHAT is wrong with these people? Ruth Ginsburg and her “concern about … growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of” remark. Peter Singer is a Jew. His parents escaped Austria just before the Anschluss. His father’s parents and his mother’s father were exterminated by the Nazis. He wants to kill babies after they are born, not only before.
