It's nice to know that Mr. Robertson doesn't think a fetus has the same dignity and worth to warrant the same protections and punishment as when you deprive the life of someone born. He's fallen into the blindness which the world offers that says a fetus is of less worth.

This can set a standard..?!! Perhaps not in every state..?!! 🐴

Is Robertson Anti-christ driven?

Are we sure that was Pat Robertson or was it a bunch of dogs sitting on each other's shoulders in a trench coat?

The ONLY reason he said this is because he is anticipating the SCOTUS striking it down. He is no ally of women’s right to choose

IMMEDIATELY GIVE FREE VASECTOMIES & TUBAL LIGATIONS AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE OF $500, THAT'S MY OPINION!

You know you've done some crazy shit when Pat Robertson thinks you've gone too far.

says the 89 year old... I'll forgive him, he knows not what he does.

This guy's been old as hell for so long

He died 3 years ago.

Tell that to God

He ain't dead yet

Well you heard it from the horse's mouth. I think Alabama is now playing God with women's lives. Every baby knows the outcome of its life before it chooses a life.

Good point Mr Robertson

Doctor: Congratulations, you have a beautiful and healthy Baby Girl! Mother: Oh No! My husband wanted a Boy! Tell me doctor, what are the Spot Market Prices for Baby Parts Today! That is right America, Democrats see big profits in New Born Abortion and Baby Parts Sales!!

No worries, it was meant to force the issue back into the courts, that's all. We are out of balance, progressive leaders have jumped the shark, and accelerated the pace for there corporate donors. Lefties don't seem capable of connecting the dots. OK, we will

Hypocrite.

It’s true

Robertson is a pig.

Ya think?

Mr Robertson is true God bless you sir

He would not say something like that.

RelentlessYapp

He’s an old useless kook.

Two words for Bro. Pat: Assisted Living.

I feel like this is a trap...

I agree

Is abortion a ‘natural’ phenomenon? Anyone thinks twice before killing something. But your own unborn child?

Pat, thinking about this, doesn’t matter what you think really, what does God think? Remember, your thinking and words must be clearly line up with scripture and if they don’t, you might some splainin to do to The Man Himself about your thoughts and words and what they caused.

Sanctimonious hypocrites like Roberson & the Alabama male dinosaurs that don't legislate adoption or male vasectomies have demonstrated that these bills are about controlling women's bodies not fetuses 'life' or babies/children

Don't believe this. He thinks it went to far because this is not the right law to get to the Supreme Court. Very misleading headline USA today

What did they do with the real asshole they call Pat Robertson? That can’t be him!

Sweet Jesus! Even Pat Robertson gets it!

Americans need to get behind a reasonable Child Protection Act: Abortions ltd to about 8-10 weeks Gov provided birth control Forced child support until 18 by both biological parents, or prison. Federal prosecutions of child abuse & mandatory sentences.

Well, that's notta good sign.

This is a very misleading excerpt from the actual statement he makes. He is still pro life and anti abortion he has just challenged that this might not help over turn Roe V Wade - be sure to read it in full.

Of course you do ! You have a freaking duck you don’t have to have the baby that the daddy won’t be there and it’s not men that made the mistake always the women

Something had to be really fudged up when you agree with this guy

The Bible teaches that life begins at first breath not at conception. Genesis 2:7 'And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.'

I feel the same but...

By a show of hands, who thought Pat Robertson died like 15 years ago?

You think🤪

Ask an abortion survivor.

What do they expect will happen? You open the door to old school abortions.

For the first time, we agree on something

Stop the presses.

I hope in his dementia, he is right.

MikePrittie Who cares what the crypt keeper has to say? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well, Pat, how far do you think they should have gone?

Same thing I think too it's too much on the females in Alabama

Sounds like he has personal stock in this. Anybody checked on his granddaughters?

Wait what, he said that? Wow

not according to the AlabamaFTBL homepage.

When Pat says you have gone too far you REALLY have gone too far

Oh contrarianism. The fuel of modern media.

Pat Robertson said, of Alabama's abortion law, 'I think Alabama has gone too far.' 😮

I have to agree with Pat. I can see a no abortion after 8 weeks or a solid heart beat This law will be overturn and the Supreme Court won't hear it.

Im against abortion dont think its right but you shouldn't force your opinion on others....

MikePrittie Wow! Alabama really has blown it.

Agreed... too extreme

I thought this was Pat's dream, ThursdayThoughts thursdaymorning AlabamaAbortionBan ThursdayMotivation ThursdayThought

When he admits this, you know it is extreme

Not because the law is morally wrong, but because it won’t pass Supreme Court muster. Don’t let the crypt keeper fool you.

You may have gone to far when the religious zealots say you've gone to far.

Don't send him money....GRIFTER ALERT!

So the media loves Pat Robertson now? Which seal just broke?

Trump's lawyer warns House Democrats as he pushes back against demands for documents and testimony: No 'unauthorized do-over' of Mueller probePresident Donald Trump's top White House lawyer on Wednesday told a leading Democrat that Congress does not have the right to 'pursue an unauthorized 'do-over' of' special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. The lawyer, Pat Cipollone made that claim in a 12-page letter that pushed back — very hard — against the House Judiciary Committee's demands for testimony from current and past Trump administration officials, as well as for documents. Wasn’t the Mueller probe a function of the Executive Branch? We are now on to the investigation by the Legislative Branch. It’s not a do-over, it’s a do-separate, and it’s not the Provence of the Exec to tell the Legis what it can or can’t do. AshaRangappa_ Trump warning of no do over of the Muellar thing. He’s read it and jealously guards it and America doesn’t know why or what’s in it. Y ‘all in more trouble than you know. Spin from the WH is do-over. Oversight is not a do-over. Oversight is what the House is supposed to do.

How does Alabama's near-total abortion ban bill compare to Georgia's 'fetal heartbeat' law?Georgia passed one of the most restrictive abortion bills in the US. How does Alabama's abortion bill legislators are currently weighing stack up? The GOP war on women is real. They believe what we do with our bodies is the business of old white men, not our own. Sure, StaceyAbrams legitimately lost the Georgia Governor's Office Election 🙄 Just go to a different state if you dont like it. I think in Virginia you can off the little guy until he's 5.

Alabama governor signs near-total abortion ban into lawAlabama’s governor signed the most stringent abortion legislation in the nation, making performing an abortion a felony in nearly all cases. Wrong! The Taliban is cheering.

Kay Ivey said
