9 thoughts on “Some details on how Gardner “built his entire political career on support of personhood””

1. Keith Mason is 100% correct.

   Cory Gardner is for repealing a woman's right to choose, under any and all circumstances. Period.

   Everything else is meaningless noise, meant to confuse low-infos and obfuscate his real leanings. He supports Personhood every bit as much today as he ever did, and he is lying when he says otherwise. Period.

   He is the sworn, unrelenting enemy of every woman's right to make her own health care decisions.

   2. This is what you do when you've got nothing: Post your favorite sadistic cartoon (bet you get off on it too as an extra added bonus) instead of addressing any of the facts documented in the post. Whenever you do this we know that you know the facts are correct and irrefutable, leaving you with no choice but to go for a "look over there" or in your case another "look at the man in tight pants and shiny boots beating the dead horsie with a stick whipping up and down like a great big dick. Oooooooh."

      1. Well said. These troll clowns and the miscreants for whom they shill are bankrupt, morally and ethically, completely without honor or decency.

   3. Of course we do, Moddy; since…

      You can't say it's NOT TRUE, can you? The only response you have is, "WAAAAAH! You're saying it TOO MUCH!"

3. For moderatus and those of similar mind, having that strong desire to oversee other citizens' personal business for them does not make you a real conservative. It was none other than the founder of the conservative movement; the late Senator Barry Goldwater; who famously noted that "abortion is not a conservative issue; it's a matter between a woman and her doctor (to which I would add, and often her family)."  

   There is also the "little problem" that personhood is driven primarily by far right wing religious groups who also can't really be considered as conservative, in the tradition of real conservatives like Goldwater, Buckley, and even Reagan. The Colorado Constitution (Article II, Sec. 4) and the US Constitution (1st, and a little in the 14th amendments) provide for freedom of religion. And there is an implied right to privacy in your home, and with your person, in the 3rd & 4th amendments.

   Personhood is a direct religious attack upon the rights of Colorado women and families to control their own reproduction, by taking away the right to an abortion and various forms of contraception. Mr. Gardner's call for selling contraceptives "over the counter" has some merit, but his plan still requires that big government make personal decisions for citizens.

   As a traditional conservative Republican, I support individual rights, freedom of conscience, and religious liberty. Can Cory Gardner say the same?

   1. As a historical footnote, Southern Baptists of the '60's and '70's did not oppose abortion.  Quite the contrary:

      Once essentially pro-choice, the Southern Baptist Convention today stands firmly with pro-life evangelicals and Catholics on sanctity-of-life issues, including opposition to mandated coverage of contraceptives in the Affordable Care Act.

      Southern Baptist attorney Linda Coffee wrote a series of legal proceedings that led to the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 establishing a woman’s right to abortion.

      “I tend to feel the state should be neutral on abortion because it should never appear either to sanction an abortion or to interfere improperly with a doctor-patient relationship,” Coffee, a member of Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas, told Baptist Press. “But I would have little personal sympathy for use of abortion as a contraceptive or to avoid personal responsibility.”

      …

      Protestant theology generally takes Genesis 2:7 as a statement that the soul is formed at breath, not with conception,” Dehoney said. “However, as Baptists believe in the priesthood of every believer to search the Scriptures, find truth and make moral decisions for themselves, we have differing views on the matter of birth control and the question of when life begins.”

      In 1971, the Southern Baptist Convention adopted a resolution supporting legislation to “allow the possibility of abortion under such conditions as rape, incest, clear evidence of severe fetal deformity and carefully ascertained evidence of the likelihood of damage to the emotional, mental and physical health of the mother.”
