US VP JD Vance uses Munich Security Conference to defend abortion clinic terrorists

THE targeting of abortion clinics by increasingly violent Christian protesters is correctly labeled a form of terrorism, but Vance, Trump’s far-right Christian nationalist sidekick, certainly does not see it that way.

In fact, in a breathtakingly stupid speech in Munich yesterday — marked by utterances of “Jesus Christ!” by an audiece squirming in their chairs — the pro-Russian sycophant and anti-gay imbecile criticised Europe for not protecting free speech enough, saying that it was “in retreat”.

He cited the case of a man in Bournemouth who was convicted of breaching a safe zone after praying outside an abortion centre and refusing to move on.

The Vce-President then added:

I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one-off, crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against a single person. But no. This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so-called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law.

Vance then claimed the government had urged people to report people “guilty of thought crime”.

The Scottish government said Vance was “incorrect” with his comments, which were previously spread by Christian influencers on TikTok last year.

A spokesperson said:

Private prayer at home is not prohibited within safe access zones and no letter has ever suggested it was. Safe Access Zones are designed to safeguard a woman’s right to access healthcare and protect their right to dignity and respect when they need it most.

People continue to have the right to protest and to free speech, however, no one has the right to harass women, or to try to influence without consent their decision to access healthcare, or to impede their access to it in any way.

The Act, passed overwhelmingly by Parliament, has been carefully drafted to capture only intentional or reckless behaviour close to a small number of premises providing abortion services. It does not – and has never been intended to – criminalise any particular action, including silent prayer.

The Guardian added that, while speaking at the conference of Europe’s leaders Vance stunned the room by delivering what amounted to a campaign speech against Germany’s sitting government just one week before an election in which the anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim AfD is set to take second place.

Hours later he met with Alice Weidel, above, the leader of the AfD, breaking a taboo in German politics called the “firewall against the far-right”, meant to kept the anti-immigrant party with ties to extremists out of the mainstream and of any ruling coalition.

“It’s an incredibly controversial thing for him to do,” said Kristine Berzina, the managing director of the German Marshall Fund’s Geostrategy North, who was at the Munich Security Conference.

Vance’s anti-immigration policies angers the Pope

Vance embraced Catholicism in 2019. Five years on he and Führer Trump fell foul of the pontiff. On Feb. 11, Pope Francis issued a strongly worded letter to US Catholic bishops, calling the Trump administration’s plan of mass deportations a “major crisis.”

The Pope’s letter came after Vance, defended the administration’s immigration crackdown in a Jan. 30 post on X where he invoked the Catholic theological concept of “ordo amoris.”

      The racist, criminal, liar (he regards a lie as necessary every time he opens his mouth) has already released many who attempted to overcome an election with violence. He seems mentally unbalanced and has a wondrous self regard for his self.

      His supporters seem to have no regard for principles, values or truth. Meanwhile, he is shafting them big time.

    If Putin were a Christian he would be thanking God for delivering Trump to him as his poodle. Trump has made the USA a country that is shamed, regarded with contempt and distrusted to an extent which no other President has got close to. And there are millions of suckers still being fooled by him. Tragic.

    I laugh every time I see the Trumpkin’s leading ass-lickers, Vance and Leavitt, lionising the man who will ultimately ruin their lives with jail terms.

      If I had been the judge, I would have had her shackled and sent to El Salvador!

      One thing, above so many others that make me angry, is the blatant display of ‘I-am-an-ignoramus’ baubles or dress like crosses and head scarves, these are so often the people who have demonstrated that they are free of morals and humanity, who have never CHOSEN a religion (if asked how did you choose your religion, will reply ‘I was born a xtian/mohammedan …’) and think that they have the right to inflict on us their fantasies and puerile nonsense.

      From what I have seen so far, the Trumpkin’s cronies all fall into the above category along with Murdoch of Fox children’s TV and Great Bollocks News here in the UK.
