I've long since stopped calling any human monster by any animal name, all the way down to rat and snake. All creatures great and small are better than some humans. This guy Mitchell sounds more like a demon. All those anti-abortion sickos are just terrified of the power of women, I believe. Isn't it disgusting that one guy can wreak so much havoc? Look at Leonard Leo and what he's done. Thanks for revealing Mr. Mitchell to the world. Now is anybody in Texas going to call him out?
This is ANOTHER example of the FASCIST Republican party and their attack on any and all American's if you do something they do not agree with. They will stop at NOTHING in their all out assault on America and Americans. They are acting just like the NAZI in Germany. They want to threaten and attack people so that they bend to their will. A way to deal with them is to call them out and take them on. They win if they are allowed to bully and threaten and scare people into submission. (REMEMBER it is YOUR FREEDOM'S that they are assaulting!) Just ANOTHER reason to vote out EVERY SINGLE Republican in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION EVERYWHERE in America. Republicans and Republican lawyers like Mitchell are a THREAT to YOUR FREEDOM, HEALTH, WEALTH, and SAFETY. And this is another example that fits it all. Evil FASCIST Republicans win if GOOD Democracy loving Freedom loving Americans do nothing!
And the dems are not exactly pro freedom either. They just grant their subjects some privileges the R's don't. Like having an abortion (I agree with that one.) Or playing on the women's team even though you are a man. On the other hand dems play catch and release with violent child molesters. No joke- lock them up for a few years, turn them loose to rape again. And dems want to disarm the population-what a gift to the criminals! (I don't much like AR's either; but if you think they will stop with AR's you don't know any history.)
No, the bullying things the dems do , do not justify what Mitchell does. He sounds like a first rate asshole, who needs a date with a female MMA pro. But i sure wish the Dems would stop doing stupid things like putting men on womens' teams, and trying to ban guns instead of trying to figure out WHY these crazies shoot people. They can kill people with other weapons; but it's mighty hard for the decent people to defend ourselves against either gangsters or goon squads without guns. I don't especially like guns; but it's sort of like a parachute. Better to have one and not need it, than need one and not have it.
I don't care for Leftist anti-Semitism either. Both side play real rough over there. Always have. The Assyrians (1000 BC +/-) made the Romans look like Boy Scouts. But i don't hold with genociding the Jews, Arabs or anybody else.
While the world is teetering on the edge of nuclear disaster and environmental meltdown, we have to contend with asholes like Mitchell who don't have anything better to than run around terrorizing women seeking abortions, which is no business of his in the first place.
Totally agree. And that is what weak men do, who pick on people they THINK are easy to scare. Miscalculation, Mr. Mitchell. Women are way better and stronger than that. If you had a Mama (and unless you are a miracle baby, you did!), you should know better than to mess with women.
I am not sure what's going on, and what the purpose of all of this intimidation is meant to do. If they intend to terrorize women, this may work. No one wants to break a law, but these laws are made to challenge. Unfortunately, challenging these laws is more expensive than most people can afford.
This is the self righteous zealotry that makes the Separation of Church and State so important to uphold in our Constitution. Of course nothing is said about the man who gave his seed to germinate the egg . In my experience most men do not want to be fathers they just want to get laid without being plagued with paying child support after disrespecting the reproductive abilities
To borrow from Christopher Fry, Linda, “you make no allowance for individuality.” To put it another way, to tar a category of people with the same brush is not only petty it is stupid. One of my two sons is a lawyer. You would have to go many a mile to find someone his equal in kindness, humanity, integrity and professional conduct. If instead of lawyer you had substituted persons of color, particular faiths, the handicapped, immigrants (legal and otherwise), LGBT+, race, ethnicity or gender – you would have been denounced by most of the subscriber to this blog.
In my 25-year military career, I encountered some Guinness-book goldbrickers, two of the worst were West Point graduates. I would never categorize all West Pointers as bad apples. To do so would be to disparage many fine U S Military Academy graduates, in fact the finest of all in my experience – USAF Lieutenant General Benjamin O. Davis, Jr, one of the famous Tuskegee Airmen. Yes, a black officer, the first to graduate from West Point since the Civil War era. He was ostracized for three of his four years at the Point. Why? Because he fit, in bigoted little minds, in a certain category with its generalized negative characteristics.
As my professor of philosophy once remarked with a twinkle in his eye: “All generalizations are stupid – including this one.”
I'm not offended; however, in re-reading my message I see it sure looks like I got my tail over the dashboard, as my Tennessee grandmother used to say. As for my son, the lawyer, he would not only laugh at your joke, he would frown at my response. He also tells jokes on lawyers, in fact his email address has to do with him being "another of those blankety blank south Texas lawyers." The thing is, Black friends have told me absolutely hilarious jokes (generally using the N-word); likewise my many Hispanic friends disparaging in jest their kind. They can get away with that. I, in my 92 second years, have finally got enough wisdom to know that I can't and shouldn't repeat them. When I wrote above, "my son, the lawyer" I was reminded of a joke about a Jewish mother, but I will let B B Nutty Yahoo tell that one -- when he tires of telling jokes about the International Court of Justice.
You owed me no apology, but I accept it in the spirit given.
A lot of the power the so-called "pro-lifers" have is based on a sense of shame about getting an abortion. We need another ad campaign of women who have had an abortion, like the one that happened (I believe) in the late Nineties. If all the women in America knew that half of them have had an abortion, the so-called "pro-lifers" would lose a lot of political clout.
I was born and raised in Ft. Worth, Texas in the '40's and 50's. It had its conservatives then, and the prevalence of religion in the state made judgments of other people's behavior a common occurrence. But, those times were fair and benign compared with the political reign of terror on individual rights perpetrated by the republicans in charge of the government now. So much for the republican party's long-time bullshit about "getting government off the backs of the people......".
as a retired primary care MD, I have watched for years the creep of 'ring wing religious zealots' to not only criminalize abortion, but to eliminate use and access to birth control pills and methods.
I had a home birth with a midwife because l didn't want to have to fight with the doctors over circumcision, which l consider to be sexual mutilation at birth and a Jewish religion ritual and all for sanitation. I am allergic to chlorine.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been saying for years Jonathan Mitchell needs to be exposed for the snake he is. Don't forget his side kick, Mark Lee Dickson, the guy that bullies communities into passing laws where you can't even drive on the street.
Some states have SLAPP laws which either ban suing lawsuits to intimidate people, or allow victims to counter-sue. I used to live in Arizona. Out there, you try to terrorize people, you are asking for a new career as coyote food.

I hate it when people start with yes but the Democrats.....So these things that Democrats allegedly do make whatever Mitchell does OK?

I don't like to name-call, but you have the intention nailed.

Mitchell is just trying to make radical Islamists look soft on women...

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty
In Arizona the scumbags used to get 12 gauge justice or rope justice

Do we really qualify as an "advanced" country anymore?
How do you tell the difference between a dead skunk in the road and a dead lawyer? There are skid marks in front of the skunk

Thank you for your civil reply and l agree with you and apologize for being offensive

It was a bad joke that a lawyer friend of mine once told me. He also said that the more crooked things got the more money lawyers make
Most of the women burned at the stake in the Salem witch trials were single mothers
And midwives, creating another medical emergency for men to take control of in that doctoring God play

People like Jonathan Mitchell are why I believe so strongly in doxxing, especially as a tactic used against political and religious extremists.
They're not the least bit happy when their own sins and peccadillos are exposed for everyone to see.
