Tuesday Bulletin
It’s an emotional topic, isn’t it? A woman’s right “to choose” to abort her child is still front and center in our country this week. Likely this is what was intended by the person who leaked Justice Alito’s draft opinion from the Supreme Court. They probably hoped that it would create such as stir that all of the Biden Administration’s failings would be forgotten. Not likely.
Today’s article from Jim Bratten takes an honest look at the controversy. His offering, entitled Life vs. Left, explores the hard truths that so many people have forgotten or chosen to ignore. The debate is over human being’s “right” to kill another if carrying a baby to term is inconvenient for her.
Unfortunately, even if the Supreme Court does overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, it will make little difference. Abortions will still be legal in most states though some may place restrictions on how developed the child may be in order to snuff out their life. In some cases, is will be a bit more inconvenient for a woman to abort her child. In extreme cases they may have to travel to a nearby state for the procedure. If only it would become more inconvenient to get an abortion than to carry the child to term and release him/her into the arms of parents who would love to adopt a child.
With the election season at hand, please encourage all you know to pay attention to what is going on and to get out and vote (IN PERSON). If every eligible voter made it a priority to learn about the issues and vote, our government would think more like its citizens. In this election, the issues are glaring and the differences are stark and public. It should be easier for people to talk about the choices in candidates this time because the challenges we face are in the news daily.
Definitely, still keep your eyes on the SCOTUS and enjoy the CV today. Have a wonderful week! Share the Citizen Voice with others today.

Life Vs. Left
By Jim Bratten – 5/9/22
The leaked draft of an opinion by Justice Samuel Alito has sparked another hair-on-fire explosion from pro-abortion, anti-life, anti-American zealots of the Left. The carefully reasoned opinion uses exact language concerning a current case before the court and the incongruity of an existing court proclamation (it wasn’t passed by Congress, so it isn’t a law but has been treated as such). The opinion and realities of science face off against the survival of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, called by those on the Left “settled law.”
There will be new rounds of teeth-gnashing, building-burning, business-vandalizing, epithet-spewing craziness from those who treat abortion as a sacrament in a demented religion that puts all faith in the hands of oppressive governments and the mere opinions of men. Nothing seems more sacred than a “woman’s right to choose.” That is, to choose death by dismemberment of a human inconvenience, whose creation by God is unmentionable. Once more the clause “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” from our Declaration of Independence is ignored (or in the case of abortion, denied).
Protesters well-versed in the game once again appeared outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. at a moment’s notice, as soon as the draft copy of Justice Alito’s opinion on the Dobbs Case was leaked to the press by an insider in the employ of the Court. The anti-life mob launched its vitriol, professionally-printed signs held high and angry voices shouting familiar, droning chants.
Eager to defend the indefensible, American corporations of all varieties cast their lot with the Dark Side, choosing death over life.
On May 4, Levi Strauss & Company issued their corporate statement concerning the new uprising of the Left over the leaked memo, implying that Roe v. Wade might be consigned to the ash heap of history. It was titled, “Protecting Reproductive Rights – A Business Imperative,” stating, “We know this is a fraught conversation; it’s not something we enter into lightly. But women make up 58 percent of our global workforce, and in recent years, numerous employees have expressed to leadership their growing alarm over the rollback of all forms of reproductive care. Our position on this is in keeping with our efforts to support employees and family members at all stages of their lives.”
Use of the terms “reproductive rights” and “reproductive care” are totally misleading. What Levi is endorsing terminates the reproductive process. God gave humans the right to reproduce (“Be fruitful and multiply”), not the right to kill what they reproduce. There has been NO “rollback” in “all forms of reproductive care;” that’s patently false. And quoting what percentage of your “global workforce” is comprised of women has no bearing on this issue, since all women do not think alike, and many of them do not believe in abortion. Levi has also joined the ranks of corporate abortion enablers such as Yelp, Amazon, Apple, Lyft, Uber, Citigroup and others in offering subsidies to employees who seek to obtain an abortion but must travel a great distance to access the procedure and cannot afford the entire travel expense. Some of these corporations pay a $4,000 stipend to defray the cost to the employee.
In response to the publication of the leaked Alito draft, presumptive vice president Kamala Harris exclaimed, “How dare they? How dare they? How dare they tell a woman what she can do with her body?” (Harris made no reference to coronavirus vaccines, apparently unconcerned about government mandates.) And Harris is apparently oblivious to the fact that “they” aren’t telling her “what she can do with her body.” “They” are telling her what a woman cannot do to another person’s body.
This is the great myth that keeps them enraged over abortion: “It’s MY body!” No … it isn’t; it’s another body living for a time inside your body.
Conservative author, speaker, and media commentator Ben Shapiro tweeted this last week concerning his take on the entire abortion “debate,” such as it is: “Any perspective that argues that all women should consider treating their unborn children as their mortal enemies rather than as the most important gift they will ever receive is perverse and evil.”
It explains why Speaker Nancy Pelosi says abortion needs to be celebrated on Mother’s Day.

We continue to urge citizens to take ownership of the responsibility to keep the Republic!
Remember, an educated and enlightened citizenry is vital for our future. As it has been written:
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
The Citizens Voice provides information that the mainstream media hopes people don’t receive. Forward these newsletters to your friends and let them witness, first hand, that there is more than one side to a story. Then they will begin to understand the peril that our nation is in and be able to make informed decisions.
We are truly thankful for all of our readers who have chosen to assist our efforts in bringing the information and words of encouragement to all Americans we can possibly reach. We are truly grateful for the generous donations from our fellow Citizen Sentinels. It helps us keep going as a truly volunteer effort. Thank you so very much for whatever can be given.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." ~ Samuel Adams, 1776
Ownership of our Republic is now the fight of our time! Keeping our Republic depends upon the genuine sense of ownership of the Land of the Free. Either this is our country, or it will belong to those who are actively seeking to take it from us. It is the same mentality that inspired someone long ago to express the sentiment that “All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Efforts to take responsibility for keeping this nation a free Republic are organically occurring right now all across the nation.
