“Liberal prosecutor” is a contradiction in terms – just ask the residents of any large blue city in the U.S. So it shouldn’t be a shock that a group of lefty prosecutors has signed a statement by Fair and Just Prosecution pledging to not press charges on patients or providers of abortion.
According to Politico June 26, 84 district attorneys and other prosecutors from 29 different states and D.C will not prosecute their populations totaling 84 million Americans. These signers may be from Texas or Alabama, which have passed tough abortion laws.
The statement makes the tired leftist non-argument that “Criminalizing abortion will not end abortion; it will simply end safe abortions, forcing the most vulnerable among us — as well as medical providers — to make impossible decisions.” It alludes to some prosecutors’ power to decide which cases they take up, saying “we remain obligated to prosecute only those cases that serve the interests of justice and the people.”
They wouldn’t know what “justice” was if it hit them in the face. Justice is upholding the law. They are dedicated to their leftist agenda and not the law. These prosecutors are there to serve the needs of the left and not Americans.
However, some states will have the power to step in if the locality doesn’t prosecute, such as Alabama and Arizona. In Texas, according to Politico, where the state AG Ken Paxton declared an annual agency-wide holiday to celebrate Roe’s demise, the Dallas County AG John Creuzot vowed to not prosecute, saying “I want women across Texas, and especially here in Dallas County, to rest assured that my office will not stand in the way of them seeking the health care they need.”
In a leftist denial to the Dobbs verdict, abortion laws will be undermined by the power not to prosecute. We will see how far leftists go to undermine the law for child murder. This statement sets the standard high.
