I hope that this intervention doesn't mean people will have no choice in this matter.

That, in the long run, is exactly what it means. Vegetation over volition, if the mob is loud enough.

On the same day, the Florida Legislature smashes away at the notion of an impartial judiciary -- and the U.S. Congress delivers a new blow to the 10th Amendment by making another tortured stretching of the Commerce Clause. (The "partial-birth abortion" ban.) Not a good day for the rule of law.

I don't believe these are the same issue. Killing a late term fetus/baby by a direct action is not the same as withholding TF's from a person in a vegetated state.

The Partial Birth Abortion ban is wrong? My third grandson was born by Cesearian section last night at 9:45 PM. He was 33 1/2 weeks. He weighed a little over 3 pounds. He's fighting for his little life. He breathes on his own. In fact he was screaming bloody murder (no pun intended)

To look at that little boy, who can feel pain and suffer, and know there are individuals who routinely murder other little boys and girls when they are also 33 1.2 weeks pregnant is hearbreaking.

Then again, there's a new cult that says putting your baby through the medical version of a Cuisinart is an act of love, and another that thinks sentencing a sentient woman to a lingering, agonizing death without even the benefit of morphine is also an act of love.
