Pro-Death Advocates Protest in St Louis

A group supporting the dismemberment, poisoning, and murder of unborn babies gathered here today to voice its protest for South Dakota's abortion ban. The pro-death rally, said to be organized Planned unParenthood, was held at the Old Courthouse in downtown St Louis. From the pictures I saw on the news, there did not seem to be more than a dozen or so advocating for feticide - I could be wrong. The report stated that there was a Pro-Life contingent opposite the abortion "rights" group.

Judge Carnahan addresses abortion-rights crowd
Judge Debra Carnahan, wife of U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis, was among the speakers Thursday afternoon at a gathering of abortion-rights activists on the steps of the Old Courthouse downtown.

An unrelated breaking story prevented this reporter from stopping by. Alison Gee, political director for Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region, called later to say that about 80 people participated. The event was among many held simultaneously in states all over the country to protest the new South Dakota law that would ban all abortions in that state, except those to save a woman’s life.

Planned Parenthood already has filed suit to block that law, after it was signed by South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds.

In a statement sent out before the rally, Judge Carnahan said, “We’re standing in solidarity with the women of South Dakota today because this abortion ban is an attack on all women and families in America.'’
A "judge" who is negligent in protecting the rights of those least capable of defending themselves. How pathetic. A result, no doubt, of the new paganism which so many have embraced.
