The above video is from C-Span 2 which means the statements occurred on the floor of the Senate. The year is either 2005 or 2006 when the Republicans controlled the Senate. The debate is about a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as being between one man and one woman. The Amendment would have passed in the Senate if some RINO Republicans like John McCain had not voted against it. As a result, we now have the Supreme Court considering if homosexuals somehow have the “right” to have faux “marriage!”

“ACLU Sues to Overturn Arkansas Law Banning Abortions at 12 Week

by Steven Ertelt

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the strongest pro-life law on the books in the nation. The measure bans abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy, though it won’t take effect until this summer and will probably be stopped in court now that the pro-abortion legal group has filed suit.

The Republican House voted 56-33 in March to override Democratic Governor Mike Beebe, who vetoed the bill, after the state Senate voted to do the same thing. The bill arrived on Beebe’s desk after clearing the Senate, 26-8, and the House, 68-20.

The law requires a test to detect a fetal heartbeat before an abortion is performed. If one is detected, a woman could not have an abortion, except in cases of rape, incest and if a mother’s life is in danger.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arkansas is behind the lawsuit, seeking a request to stop the abortion ban while the case continues in court. Because it contravenes Roe v. Wade, lower courts (My use of red—my addition) are expected to issue an injunction preventing the abortion ban from taking effect while the lawsuit moves ahead.

The lawsuit is filed on behalf of two Little Rock-based abortion practitioners, Dr. Louis Jerry Edwards and Dr. Tom Tvedten, against the state medical board.

According to AP:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/lawsuit-seeks-block-arkansas-abortion-law-18970498#.UW2fRVeRcis

The lawsuit claims Edwards and Tvedten could lose their licenses for providing abortions starting at the 12th week of pregnancy, meaning the law denies ‘patients their constitutionally-guaranteed right to decide to end a previability pregnancy.’

‘We are asking the court to block an attempt to essentially outlaw all abortions past 12 weeks, so early that a woman might not know the complete health and status of her pregnancy (What! The woman doesn’t know by the 12th week if she is pregnant or not! Seriously! Status: 3) “a condition that is subject to change” [Encarta Dictionary] —my addition),’ Rita Sklar, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas, said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

Rose Mimms, the executive director of Arkansas Right to Life, said groups like hers are hopeful that laws restricting abortions will land again before the U.S. Supreme Court and be considered against new discoveries regarding fetal development.

‘They didn’t have that kind of information when they decided Roe v. Wade,’ Mimms said.

Sklar called the bill ‘one of the most dangerous assaults on women’s health (This is such nonsense! MURDERING an unborn baby is NOT a woman’s health issue unless the baby being MURDERED is female! The nonsense that we have allowed the Left to get away with is incredible!—my addition) that we’ve seen in decades.’ She said all sides of the debate may not be able to agree on the issue, ‘but we can all agree that this complex and personal decision should be made by a woman, her family, and her doctor, not politicians (Really! The original decision to say that a woman can MURDER her child was reached by politicians—appointed members of the federal court system! Baby MURDERERS speak nonsense and LIES!—my addition),’ she said in a statement.

When he vetoed the bill, the governor expected the lawsuit.

‘Because it would impose a ban on a woman’s right to choose an elective, nontherapeutic abortion well before viability, Senate Bill 134 blatantly contradicts the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court (The U.S. Supreme Court was both wrong and unconstitutional when the court reached its decision in Roe v. Wade!—my addition),’ Beebe said in a letter vetoing the bill. ‘When I was sworn in as governor I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend both the Arkansas Constitution and the Constitution of the United States. I take that oath seriously (Then why did you veto the bill! There is NOTHING in the U.S. Constitution that permits a woman or anyone else to MURDER her unborn baby! This nation has been living a LIE for over 40 years!—my addition).’

Senator Jason Rapert, R-Bigelow is the bill sponsor and he was upset

http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2013/mar/05/senate-votes-override-12-week-abortion-veto/?news-arkansas

Governor Beebe said costs to fight the expected court battle led to the veto.

Rapert said he told Beebe, ‘I have given you an opportunity to save thousands of lives in the future of this state … and you have stated that you would sign a bill to do away with the death penalty in the state of Arkansas for convicted murderers. I believe the same place in your heart in which you would find yourself able to do that should be the same place in your heart that you should be able to protect the lives of unborn innocent children (One would think so!—my addition).’

Some pro-life groups are not on board with the legislation, not because they oppose banning abortions but out of a concern that it will be struck down in court if passed, since the Supreme Court is currently dominated by at least a 5-4 pro-abortion majority. As a result, the legislation would be struck down in court and the ruling would add to the case law that supports Roe vs. Wade (However, ALL the case law since Roe IS Constitutionally WRONG!—my addition). Such groups are working to change the courts so Roe can be overturned and legislation like the Heartbeat bill or others could be approved to provide legal protection for unborn children.

Before vetoing the bill, Beebe told reporters his office was looking into those constitutional concerns.

‘I’m waiting on lawyers. I think that’s the big concern right now—does it run afoul of the Supreme Court or constitutional restrictions (NO! It does not!—my addition)?’ Beebe said. ‘That’s the first thing we’re looking at (He didn’t look very long or hard then! The original Supreme Court decision is clearly unconstitutional on the face of it!—my addition).’

‘I’m asking you to stand up for life, and I believe when there is a heartbeat, based upon even the standard the Supreme Court has utilized, you cannot have a viable child without a heartbeat,’ Senator Jason Rapert, the bill’s sponsor, told lawmakers before they approved the legislation.

Previously the Legislature overrode Beebe’s veto of a ban on most abortions starting in the 20th week of pregnancy. That law took effect immediately, but the Heartbeat abortion ban likely won’t stand up in court (I don’t know why not!—my addition).”

Here we go again people. Let go to the Constitution of the United States and see what it says about this case.

Background information: Roe v. Wade was a Texas case which began in the federal circuit court challenging a State of Texas law against MURDERING an unborn baby. The appeal skipped the appellate court and went directly from the circuit court to the Supreme Court. However, the case did begin in a Texas federal circuit court.

From:

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Original+jurisdiction

Original jurisdiction: “Original jurisdiction is distinguishable from appellate jurisdiction, which is the power of a court to hear and enter judgment upon a case brought for review. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court's caseload consists almost entirely appellate cases from the circuit courts of appeal. When two or more states are locked in a dispute, however, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to gather and hear evidence much like a trial court. The Court appoints a Special Master

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Special+Master

to hear the evidence and prepare factual findings. It then hears oral arguments and issues a decision as it does in appellate jurisdiction cases. Because it is the highest court in the United States, the Supreme Court's decision in original jurisdiction cases is final, with no right of appeal. An example of such a case is New Jersey v. New York, 523 U.S. 767, 118 S. Ct. 1726, 140 L. Ed. 2d 993 (1998), in which the Supreme Court took evidence and determined which state had claim to Ellis Island.”

“original jurisdiction n. the authority of a court to hold a trial, as distinguished from appellate jurisdiction to hear appeals from trial judgments.”

From: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html

The United States of America Constitution:

Article III, §2, ¶2

“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.” (My use of red—my addition)

Since the Constitution was violated in the original decision, that decision is by definition null and void! The federal government, through the courts or by law, has NEVER said that a woman may MURDER her unborn baby!

NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
