An End to Genocide in America?

Earlier this week, I shared my thoughts on the draft Supreme Court opinion that was leaked to Politico and shared publicly.  So important is this issue that I am reposting my thoughts in its entirety:

In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court issued what is widely considered one of the worst decisions the Court has ever written.  The case was Roe v. Wade.  We know today that the plaintiff in Roe lied about being raped.  She later recanted her false claims and gave her life to Christ.  But the damage was done.

The Court decided it wanted to legislate and create law, not just interpret laws.   The Court came up with a bizarre ruling completely ungrounded from the Constitution, citing fake science to justify the murder of babies.  It was a dark time for America and our nation has suffered ever since.   Fortunately, there may be better days coming.

For the first time in the history of the court, a draft Supreme Court opinion was leaked to Politico and shared publicly.  Over 240 years of court history was shattered by this severe breach of decorum and institutional privacy.  The Supreme Court must have security to be impartial arbiters of the law.  The majority opinion written, by Justice Samuel Alito, indicates that the Supreme Court is likely to overturn the egregiously immoral and unconstitutional Roe v. Wade.

On the merits, if the draft opinion becomes final and Roe v. Wade is finally overruled, it will be a long overdue correction of an injustice.  The court in Roe created a patently ridiculous and false “constitutional right” to have an abortion.

49 years ago the Supreme Court of the United States made the decision allowing for abortion on demand. When the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, leftist scientists and doctors claimed that babies were considered viable at 28 weeks. We know that is absolutely false.  In fact, premature babies can survive at 22 weeks, or even earlier.  This is at least a month and half earlier than Roe’s arbitrary “viability” date.  We know that at just five weeks, unborn babies have a heartbeat.  At 10 weeks, babies can kick and jump and have fingers and toes.  At 15 weeks, an unborn baby has fully formed lips and noses and can feel pain, make facial expressions, and can hiccup.

The majority opinion concludes:

“We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question.  The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each state from regulating or prohibiting abortion.  Roe and Casey arrogated that authority.  We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives. The judgment of the Fifth Circuit is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered.”

Summarizing this decision, nothing in the Constitution provided any support for this unhinged decision that has led to over 62 million American babies being murdered since abortion was legalized in 1973.  The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each state from prohibiting abortion and states will be free to regulate abortion as they see fit.

I will ALWAYS fight for the lives of the millions of unborn children who have a right to grow up in this beautiful country, and a right to live up to the infinite possibilities America has to offer.  I pray the Supreme Court protects these unborn babies and finally throws out the Roe v. Wade injustice.  If Roe is overruled thousands of babies will be saved and it will be a first step for the Supreme Court to clean up its legacy and get back to interpreting laws, not creating laws.

Still Confused about Roe v. Wade?  

There seems to be massive confusion about Roe v. Wade, the disgraced court ruling making up a supposed constitutional right, and its possible reversal.

If Roe is overruled, and I pray it is, it does not mean “abortion will suddenly be illegal.”  It means each of the 50 states can create their own laws.  States like California may adopt infanticide.    There are demonic people there that are talking about “abortion” after a baby is born. This to most decent Americans is a death cult and barbaric.

Other states, like Arizona, may prohibit abortions entirely or after a period of time established by the legislature.

As you all know, I believe in the sanctity of life.  I would vote to ban abortions.  All of them. I have the most pro-life record in Congress.

For those who love killing infants, I say move to California.  For those who love babies and life and the next generation, stay in Arizona.

Gosar Demands Answers on DHS ‘Disinformation Governance Board’

Last week, I wrote extensively about the Biden administration’s announcement of the creation of its Disinformation Governance Board.  If you missed, click here and check out the very first story.

According to a Department of Homeland Security Fact Sheet, the Department is “focused on disinformation that threatens the security of the American people, including disinformation spread by foreign states such as Russia, China, and Iran, or other adversaries such as transnational criminal organizations and human smuggling organizations.”

All Americans should be deeply troubled by Mr. Biden’s decision to create a Disinformation Governance Board.  The sole function of this board is to spy on American citizens and double down on this administration’s continued abuse of powers to attack Americans who disagree with its policies, smearing them as extremists.

In response, I sent a letter this week to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security regarding the establishment of its Disinformation Governance Board.

Gosar Announces Winners of the 2022 Congressional Art Competition

Coffee is Served!

This weekend, I hosted another “Coffee with the Congressman” in Mohave County.  Judging from the size of the crowd, I think every resident in the area showed up for a cup of joe and a good conversation on the issues discussed around the breakfast table!  Thank you to everyone who attended.  I enjoy hosting these intimate coffee meetings because they allow me the opportunity to meet directly with my constituents in a more personal atmosphere.  If you would like to receive information on my next “Coffee with the Congressman” please email me at AZ04.schedule@mail.house.gov.

Ryan David Wyatt Cone Flies Like an Eagle!

I wanted to give a special shout-out this week to Ryan David Wyatt Cone of Boy Scouts of America Troop 777 in San Tan Valley who earned the Eagle Scout Award that past weekend!

Ryan’s dad, David Cone is the Scoutmaster, and we are both incredibly proud of Ryan for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank that Scouting offers to Scouts.  Only a small percentage of young men who begin Scouting receive this great honor.  In Scouts, the eagle symbolized strength of character, service to our community and nation, respect for mankind and love of God.   Ryan is a great example to our community. Congratulations and best of luck in your next adventures, Ryan.
