>> Shannon: A LOT OF
INTERESTING QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
SO MUCH INFLUX WITH THE BLUE
WAVE WASHING OVER THE
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, FROM
GUN RIGHTS TO ABORTION AND OTHER
SOCIAL ISSUES.
LET'S BRING IN THE FORMER
PRESS SECRETARY.
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR,
DR. ROBERT.
WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU.
YOU ARE AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY
AS THE PRESIDENT WAS TALKING
ABOUT HIS JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS
THEY BECOME IMPORTANT IN
SCENARIOS LIKE THIS WERE STATES
PASSED THEIR OWN LAWS.
MANY ARE
BEATING CHALLENGED.
TODAY WE SAW THAT A JUDGE PUT A
REGULATION
ON HOLD OR ESSENTIALLY THREW IT
OUT ALTOGETHER.
SOME SAY IT'S A CONSCIOUS
DECISION.
THE JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS YOU
WERE THERE TO TAKE APART AND ARE
VERY IMPORTANT.
>> I'M THE FIRST TO SAY, I
BELIEVE IN EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL
AMERICANS REGARDLESS OF RACE,
RELIGION, GENDER, OR SEXUAL
ORIENTATION.
WHAT CONSERVATIVES CAN'T SUPPORT
IS SPECIAL RIGHTS OR IMAGINARY
RIGHTS FOR SOME AMERICANS AT THE
EXPENSE OF REAL CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS OF OTHERS.
YOU SOW THAT INDICATES HE JUST
MENTIONED.
ONE SINGLE SOLITARY FEDERAL
JUDGE OVERTURNED A PROTECTION
FOR MEDICAL WORKERS WHO FOR
RELIGIOUS REGIONS DIDN'T WANT TO
PARTICIPATE AND PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS WE DECIDE ABORTION'S.
HE OVERTURNED THAT PROTECTION
AND LOOK AT THE CONSTITUTION.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE.
A RIGHT TO AN ABORTION OR FOR
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT FOR ANY
MEDICAL PROVIDER YOU CHOOSE.
WHAT THERE IS IS THE PROMISE OF
A RELIGIOUS PROTECTION FOR ALL
LIFE INCLUDED IN THE WORKPLACE.
I THINK THE GOOD NEWS IS AS THIS
JUDICIARY BECOMES MORE
CONSERVATIVE, BUT THAT THEY
SUPREME COURT IN THE FEDERAL
LEVEL, I THINK YOU WILL SEE THE
COURT INTERESTED IN PROTECTING
REAL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND
NOT IMAGINARY.
>> Shannon: THEY ARE GOING TO
BE A NUMBER OF THESE LEGAL
BATTLES WHERE THE STATES DO
THINGS THAT ARE CHALLENGED IN
COURT.
WHETHER IT'S CONSERVATIVE OR
LIBERAL ERA DEFENSE MATTERS IN
VIRGINIA IS BEING LOOKED AT AS
THIS BATTLEGROUND AREA, GUNS,
ABORTION.
FROM THE GOVERNOR ON DOWN, IT'S
NOW BLUE AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF
OPPORTUNITY.
>> I THINK THIS WOULD BE AN
UPHILL BATTLE FOR THE E.R.A. AND
IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT WOMEN CAN
POSSIBLY LOSE, THERE ARE SOME
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
WOMEN ABSOLUTELY DESERVE ALL THE
RIGHTS THAT MEN HAVE, BUT WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE FEDERAL COURTS
THEY CAN START TO REVALUATE SOME
OF THE LAWS AND SAY, WHEN A
WOMAN GETS A DIVORCE AND A WOMAN
GETS ALIMONY, DOES MORE MONEY GO
TO THE MAN?
YOU LOOK AT CHILD SUPPORT, THE
SAME ARGUMENT.
THE INTENTIONS ARE REALLY GOOD
AND REALLY STRONG, THAT I THINK
THERE ARE SOME UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD END UP
ROLLING BACK THE RIGHTS OF
WOMEN.
OF COURSE EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT
THIS AND SAYING, THIS IS AN
EFFORT TO BLANKET AND PROTECT
ABORTION RIGHTS, BUT WE HAVE TO
REMEMBER THAT EVEN IF
ROE V. WADE IS OVERTURNED, THE
STATES CAN STILL ENACT ABORTION
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A
PROTECTION THERE.
>> Shannon: JUDICIAL WATCH WAS
ABLE TO GET THE DOCUMENTS ASKING
ABOUT TALKING POINTS THAT WERE
ALLEGEDLY GIVEN TO THE GOVERNOR.
THEY NEED TO BE RESUSCITATED IF
THAT'S WHAT THE MOTHER AND
FAMILY WANT NOW WE HAVE THIS
EMAIL THAT SHOWS HE WAS GIVEN
THESE TALKING POINTS BY A
PLANNED PARENTHOOD OFFICIAL.
THEY WERE SENT TO HIS OFFICE.
COMPLICATED MEDICAL DECISIONS,
AS A PHYSICIAN, I KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO TRUST MY
PATIENT.
ALL KINDS OF THINGS HE AND
OTHERS WHO ARE OUT THERE TALKING
ABOUT THIS ISSUE -- WE HAVE
HEARD THESE THINGS.
I WILL ASK YOU FIRST, WE HEAR
FROM SPECIAL GROUPS ALL THE
TIME.
IS IT ANY DIFFERENT WHEN IT
COMES WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS?
>> I THINK THIS SHOWS THE
INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP WHICH
WENT PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND THE
DEMOCRATS.
THEY PROVIDED HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PLANNED
PARENTHOOD AND THEY PROVIDE
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS, MARCHING
ORDERS AND TALKING POINTS.
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT
REALLY THEY DIDN'T RETRACT
EITHER PLANNED PARENTHOOD OR
THEIR BASIC CONTENTION THAT A
WOMAN OUGHT TO HAVE AN ABORTION
AT ANY STAGE OF THE PREGNANCY
INCLUDING WHEN THE CHILD IS IN
THE BIRTH CANAL OF THE MOTHER.
FOR MOST AMERICANS THAT IS NOT
ONLY HORRIFIC, IT'S BARBARIC AND
I THINK IT SHOWS WHY THE
DEMOCRATS IN AUGUST DECIDED NOT
TO APPEAL THE RELIGIOUS MOTORS.
NOBODY WITH ANY FAITH OR
CONSCIENCE COULD SUPPORT THE
BARBARIC BELIEFS OF THE PLANNED
PARENTHOOD/DEMOCRAT PARTY.
>> RELIEF QUICKLY COME ABORTION
AND INFANTICIDE ARE TWO
DIFFERENT THINGS AND I WILL NOT
SIT HERE AND SUPPORT HIM FOR
ANYTHING CONSIDERING HIS
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES AND BLACK
FACE.
I DON'T SUPPORT HIM AT ALL, BUT
I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> Shannon: I THINK EVERYONE
