Republican Jenna Ellis Declares Women's Rights Are Limited By God

Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis argued on Thursday that the United States is a "Judeo-Christian nation" and should abide by the "limits" God puts on women by banning federal abortion rights.

Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis argued on Thursday that the United States is a "Judeo-Christian nation" and should abide by the "limits" God puts on women by banning federal abortion rights.

"We understand as a country that life is sacred, life comes from God and that's what it means to be a Judeo-Christian nation, that we understand that God gives life," she added, "and that there are limits on the power of government if legislate concerning these issues."

About 2000 people orchestrate the Republican Party line. Take these people out (rhetorically speaking) and the body is useless.

Doesn’t God also say women can’t hold positions of authority like lawyer or Member of Congress?

Someone please show this cretin all passages in her bible where her god provides instructions on how abort a pregnancy. And, then show her our founding fathers' writings on religion. Gaslighter's got to gaslight, I guess.

and I come back to all this unbelievable ignorant bs from Repubs. Why do these people exist? Where did they come from? Who came along and scooped their brains out of their skulls? Everyday, it is getting darker, grimmer, with our Democracy in peril from these ghastly people. We better win in November.

GOTV!!

They are not Christians. They tout scripture but pick and choose what fits their agenda. They have no idea what empathy, compassion and love is.

As a believe myself, they make me sick.

Never trust someone who traffics in the term "Judeo-Christian." They are just interested in using us Judeos to bolster their numbers in pretence to legitimacy, but will turn on us once they feel they no longer need us

Many Jewish and Christian group believe abortions should be allowed.

The Catholic Church did not adopt its extreme position until the 1800s.

or take a refresher on Constitutional law.

Maybe she flunked it the first time?

She should be joined by several sitting members of the Supreme Court.
