On 23 January 2004, in Jane Roe II vs. Aware Women Center for Choice, Inc., the Eleventh Circuit Court ruled that an expectant mother can be aborted by force if the abortionist argues that it is necessary to "protect the health of the mother."

This is completely wrong from a medical standpoint. You cannot force anyone to submit to medical care. Every patient has a right to consent to or deny procedures, even if it would result in death. This right gets a little controversial in dealing with kids and psych patients but we try to honor it as much as possible.

This is a very, very dangerous court ruling.

It sure is, I remember when I was on the first aid squad, we were not allowed to take anyone who didn't want to go to the hospital for treatment. This decision is more proof for the argument that today's judges are activist judges who want to push their atheistic, Marxist agenda.
