Supreme Court does the Right Thing!
The Supreme Court today upheld a law passed by Congress in 2003 and signed by President Bush banning partial-birth abortions. Quite honestly, any form of abortion should be banned in my opinion unless the procedure is done SOLELY to save the life of the mother. However, as we have to take these things one step at a time, the ruling by the Supreme Court gives the anti-abortion movement one of its biggest legal victories.
Doctors and others who challenged the law maintained that this procedure minimizes damage to the uterus and therefore is the best to use in late term pregnancy. Honestly, if you’re having an abortion simply because you decided motherhood wasn’t your thing, then your uterus should be damaged. Maybe this would cause people to think about motherhood a bit more before knocking the bottle back and hopping in bed with the guy at the end of the bar.
Oh…. and by the way. I will NOT be voting for Obama if he’s nominated for the office of President of the United States. He’s quoted as saying “I strongly disagree with today’s Supreme Court ruling, which dramatically departs from previous precedents safeguarding the health of pregnant women… I am extremely concerned that this ruling will embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a woman’s right to choose, and that the conservative Supreme Court justices will look for other opportunities to erode Roe v. Wade, which is established federal law and a matter of equal rights for women.“
Personally…. I hope state legislators take whatever measures they need to outlaw abortions. If I don’t have the right to go out and off someone, why does a woman have the right to off her own kid?
No, thats not exactly right either. Lets use the right word… “…why does a woman have the right to MURDER her own kid?”
It amazes me that if someone tries to injure themselves the law will lock them up in a mental institution, yet the same people won’t even bat an eye at organized murder. What is this world coming to?
