Court Blocks Restrictions on Abortion

A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 2 July 2011 | John Semmens

[John Semmens]

A federal judge issued a decree barring the state of South Dakota from implementing new restrictions on abortions performed in the state. The restrictions would have imposed a three-day waiting period and mandated pregnancy counseling prior to any abortion procedure.

In her ruling, Judge Karen Schreier called the restrictions “unacceptably cruel and inhumane. Why should a woman be forced to delay undergoing a medical procedure that she already has decided she wants? Why should she be compelled to listen to counseling that can only foment doubt that she is taking the right course?”

“The Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973 established that it is a woman’s inalienable right to terminate a pregnancy at any time and for any reason,” Schreier declared. “No state has the authority to infringe upon this right at any time or for any reason. South Dakota’s attempt to require a woman to pause and reconsider before going ahead is an intolerable obstruction of what has been a settled federal policy for nearly four decades.”

Yes, and we all know that burning babies alive in saline solutions, pulling them apart while they are still alive, and decapitating them while their legs are still in the birth canal are kind and humane acts.

snip---"what has been a settled federal policy for nearly four decades."

Why didn't they just say so? After all what the government does is perfectly moral and just.

Why is the left "always" at the heart of taking away rights and jackbooting the innocent? (slavery, abortion, ect...)

[tbpiper]

Who would have thought that a Clinton appointee would be in favor of murdering the innocent for convenience and profit?

Every time I repeat the statement, the more insane it sounds.

“The Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973 established that it is a woman’s inalienable right to terminate a pregnancy at any time and for any reason,” Schreier declared.“

The Bill of Rights are clearly explained in the Constitution. That includes the Second of course. I can make a guess with confidence where see comes down on the issue.

Roe vs. Wade was conjured up from a judge legislating from the bench. The judicial branch is worrisome since the are usurping the other two branches of government.

Adding fuel to the fire we have a president who has judges in his pocket. The legislative branch (which should directly represent the people) is treated as a mere inconvenience.

Picture of judge. She looks, uhh, like she would be really good at softball.

[Paperdoll]

I hope they plan to appeal this legislation from the bench!

OK, ya got me at first...

Yesterday, I remembered to look first, and it was a real article. Today I forget and get burned.

From its photo, the “judge” appears to be another lesbo-whacko-commie boy-wannabe.

I missed the satire tag again, but I certainly think your statement is true. I'll call the glass half full.

[eccentric]

The Feds are requiring graphic photos on tobaco products -— but don’t tell the truth about abortion!

[piytar]

It really is getting harder and harder to tell these days, isn’t it?

Yes indeed. These satirical pieces carry a great deal of truth; I think that's why I'm responding. The truth and satire are so close that it's hard to tell. I could easily imagine this happening (it has happened).

I still say the combination of Obama and activist judges is a dangerous one.

The really horrible thing (aside from the obvious) is the exclusion of parent notification. Suppose a child had a medical condition that could turn into a fatality?

I believe a three day waiting period is an issue at times. They want women and teens to make a rushed decision based on propaganda.

Car salesmen want you to buy a car when you visit a dealership. They'll use pressure, coercion and more to get you to sign on the dotted line. Why?

Because statistically, nine out of ten people who leave the lot never come back. Same dynamic.

[GeronL]

a waiting period and making you hear the other side first is not a restriction on abortion.

[boop]

I just can’t comprehend this lack of parental notification. Nobody would tolerate having their kids taken by a stranger to a dentist for a filling, or a dermatologist to get their acne treated. It would not only be illegal, but the parents could sue the poop out of the adult who did that. They must schedule the 12 year olds pretty early in the day, because parents might get a tad suspicious when their daughter doesn’t come home after school, or is still woozy from the anaesthesia they got at the abortion clinic.

I just can’t comprehend this lack of parental notification.

I see it as an attempt by The State to rip families apart; at the same time there is an assertion by The State that its authority usurps that of a parent. It is a totalitarian gesture.

Take China for example. Women are allowed one child. The consequences for a 'violation' are sterilization or forced abortion.

You are quite correct with your examples:

Nobody would tolerate having their kids taken by a stranger to a dentist for a filling.

With Planned Parenthood for example, not only do they conduct these practices, the government funds them. I see another face of totalitarianism, and that is implicating everybody in the commission of their crimes.

Planned Parenthood is very upset that rules were legislated more or less to comply with rules found in any recovery room. I thought they were concerned with ending back alley abortions, right?

Not so of course. It's blood money. PP uses government funding to campaign for politicians. It's really nothing short of a kick back. Our politicians are bought and sold in this manner.

God is going to make us pay dearly because of this. It's not going unnoticed.

I also surf a physicians only board. I am shocked by their defense of abortion, their hatred of parental notification, etc. The argument seems to be that ALL abortion opposition comes from “religious cretins” who are IMPOSING their will on everyone else. The level of hatred is breathtaking. When the subject of Kermit Gosnell came up, one poster said he “didn’t care”. I would think that even a pro-choice individual would care when a psycho is running a torture chamber, unsanitary abortion mill.

So true.

A doctor has been accused of snapping the spinal cords of seven newborn babies with a pair of scissors in a ‘House of Horrors’ abortion clinic.

Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell allegedly carried out the ‘barbaric’ killings with the help of nine employees – one of them a 15- year-old high school student who was encouraged to perform operations and administer anaesthesia.

Prosecutors claim the babies were murdered after they were born alive in illegal botched late-term abortions during the sixth, seventh or eighth months of pregnancy.

Gosnell, 69, was charged with murdering the babies and a 41-year-old mother who died after being accidentally overdosed with anaesthetics.

Authorities suspect the physician may have killed hundreds of babies during the course of his 30-year practice. He made $1.8million in one year alone performing the procedures.

Excerpt from the UK Mail Online.

Ghastly. The sad part is that I suspect that this is more common than the exception. He's not the only one, I'm sure.

[boop]

Gosnell is such a freak that he didn’t even do partial birth abortions “correctly”. You’re supposed to deliver the body only, then vacuum the skull to collapse it. Keeps the little tykes from crying and screaming. This dude must have heard MANY crying babies before he cut their spines with a pair of scissors. How can he live with that? Even the mothers must have been freaked out.
