Miyares: "The civil rights of Virginia's worshipers will not be violated by any mobs."

Last edited Sun May 8, 2022, 12:33 PM - Edit history (1)

Hat tip, Good Morning America

The civil rights of Virginia’s worshipers will not be violated by any mobs.

In Virginia, the law reigns supreme and Catholic Virginians’ right to worship in peace will be protected.



I deeply respect the First Amendment rights of speech and assembly. But no one has the right to interfere with the fundamental and natural right of all Virginians to practice their religion in peace.

I would not be a fan of protesting at places of religious worship, but surely some will feel justified with an 18 foot buffer zone.

Come back to me when your religion stops trying to force the world to be as you believe it should be. With mass killings over sexual orientation and forced birth because a female is not equal to the almighty male, I do not think your position about feeling 'persecuted' means a whole lot.

about abortion. That's all. That is construed as a "threat."

Want to talk about threats? Lets simulate an ectopic pregnancy and put a live grenade inside your urethra.

That's a threat.

all women to privately control their own reproductive systems. Still, it never stopped the Forced Birth mobs from violating women's rights at abortion clinics, screaming obscenities, holding up images of dead babies, planting bombs and murdering doctors.
