The chief justice of the Supreme Court Wednesday asked abortion promoters why isn’t 15 weeks enough time to decide whether to get an abortion.
Article by Bob Unruh from our news partners at WND News Center.
The court heard arguments over a case out of Mississippi where a new state law would limit abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, lowering the limit that now is vaguely called “viability,” which is considered to be about 24 weeks.
Chief Justice John Roberts said, “If you think that the issue is one of choice – that women should have a choice to terminate their pregnancy – that supposes that there is a point at which they’ve had the fair choice, opportunity to choice.
“And why would 15 weeks be an inappropriate line? Viability, it seems to me, doesn’t have anything to do with choice. But if it really is an issue about choice, why is 15 weeks not enough time?”
A lawyer promoting abortion, and fighting the state’s new limit, Julie Rickelman, speculated that the problem would be “there will be no stopping point. States will rush to ban abortion at virtually any point in pregnancy.”
While the case is about a Mississippi limit, it’s widely considered to be a way for the high court to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade precedent that essentially created an unlimited “right” to abortion in the U.S.
The problem is that abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution and the author of the opinion creating that right, Harry Blackmun, admitted in the opinion itself that it was based on assumptions.
He said “if this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [14th] amendment.”
Another justice considered to be on the conservative side of the Supreme Court spectrum, Samuel Alito, questioned a pro-abortion lawyer about “viability.”
“What would you say to the argument that has been made many times by people who are pro-choice and pro-life, that the line really doesn’t make any sense — that it is, as Justice Blackman himself described it, arbitrary?” he asked Rikelman.
He pointed out that the unborn child “has an interest in having a life” both before and after viability, to which Rikelman said, “In some people’s view it doesn’t.”
Fox News reported Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked whether the Supreme Court actually can simply ban abortion, but Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart said it cannot.
“As I understand it, you’re arguing that the Constitution’s silent and therefore neutral on the question of abortion. In other words, that the Constitution’s neither pro-life nor pro-choice?” Kavanaugh said, to which Stewart agreed.
The lower abortion time period actually would move the U.S. away from alignment with repressive nations like China and North Korea, which also use that standard, and into step with much of the rest of the civilized world.
If Roe is overturned, regulation of abortion would be the responsibility of states.
Democrats in America, in fact, have gone to extremes to promotion abortion up to the point of birth, or even after.
It was Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam who infamously argued for infanticide in a radio interview several years ago.
He said if a child survived an abortion attempt, “it would be kept comfortable if that that’s what the mother desired” and then there would be a “discussion” between the doctor and mother about whether the child would be allowed to live.
Too Few Are Telling the Truth
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), and Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCO). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would break away. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken away from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.

Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Also, we could use contributions of content. If you write or want to start writing and you share our patriotic, conservative, America First ideology, contact us. The contact form on this and all pages on the site goes directly to me.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- Freedom Phone: Use promo code “MAGA” and get $50 off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them we sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,

As a young teen -adult abortion was welcome. as I got older and realized what was actually taking place I was revolted. How anyone could see it other than KILLING/MURDERING a baby is outrageous. Abortion needs to END
So now were tslking about when the choice should be made? How about before engaging in philandering sexual escapades that lead to unwanted pregnancy. There are very few exceptions where an abortion should ever be considered. Rape, incest or thr life of the mother in jeopardy. Even those sotuations shouldnt be considered absolute. Never should on demand abortions for convenience sake be granted due to irresponsible behavior.
Don’t be fooled by John Roberts.
He is a DEMOCRAT….
who was a visitor to Lolita Island.
He has also been BLACKMAILED by the Democrat Party.
Roberts will vote the way the Democrats tell him to.
Roberts will vote to uphold Roe v. Wade.
NO Way you should be able to kill a baby in the womb who could live out of the womb.
The Fed’s should not be involved in this at all
They stepped in and came up Roe V Wade and it is a disaster
Leave it to a Geo Bush Mealy Mouth to come up with something like this
I grew up in the netherlands in the sixty’s, Abortion was talked about big time. I was 11 years old and never knew the meaning at that time.no one ever mentioned killing unborn. It is after 60 years just as controversial probably more so. What does that tell you?
