WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court upheld the nationwide ban on a controversial abortion procedure Wednesday, handing abortion opponents the long-awaited victory they expected from a more conservative bench.

The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

Thanks for making my point. Stay at home, then, if you don’t get a candidate that meets all your criteria. Hillary will be more than happy to be YOUR POTUS.

On a side note, it is so exciting to see the liberals over at the DUmp and Daily Chaos with their panties in a bunch and fraught with rage. But...but...but!! The DUmmies are like that ALL the time! ;-) Still, yes, it is good to see the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth as they panic about this victory of good over evil, LOL. :-)

[thelastvirgil]

Oh, please!

[Kevmo]

Thanks for the ping. Good news is very welcome today.

[Soul Seeker]

Wow.

Kennedy actually resisted the siren call of the cocktail set in D.C. and held to his original position when it actually mattered.

Well, God Bless him as well as Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito. Actually was the first bit of real good news to draw me out in awhile. Maybe there is hope. :-)

Souter at least sometimes votes against Ginsberg and Stevens...

Fine, if you want another Souter to counter Ginsberg and Stevens then by all means vote for Rudy.

A quick read of the law which was upheld reveals it defines partial birth abortion, then criminalizes performing such a procedure. There is an exception for the life of the mother.

I believe the law was constructed to restrict based on method rather than the term of pregnancy because Planned Parenthood v. Casey overturned such laws.

[P-Marlowe]

Oh, please!

And thank you.

[AFPhys]

You are speaking to a PRO-LIFE forever, charismatic Catholic who is more evangelical than most evangelical. I WILL vote for Rudy over Hitlery or O’Dumbo if Rudy is nominated, and I believe that most of the other 2-3 million voters you aver you speak for would join me in doing so... since we KNOW that Ginsberg and Stevens would be gone immediately.

[OPS4]

This is a step in the right direction.

Thank Those who voted in favor of this law change.

Pray for those who voted against it.

[AFPhys]

Oh... so you’d vote Third party or no vote instead... Great choice.

Just as good as voting for Hitlery.

[P-Marlowe]

I believe that most of the other 2-3 million voters you aver you speak for would join me in doing so

Well if Rudy gets the nomination you will get a chance to test your thesis.

[AFPhys]

I categorically don’t believe that only Rudy can win ... I think most of the well mentioned Reps have at least a decent chance to beat Hitlery, and “electability” will not play into my decision for the nomination. It WILL play a part of how I choose to vote in the general, though.

[AFPhys]

Agreed.

“Thanks for making my point. Stay at home, then, if you don’t get a candidate that meets all your criteria. Hillary will be more than happy to be YOUR POTUS.”

Thanks for making mine. Its morons pushing Ghouliani as a Republican candidate that are going to get Rats elected.

You will have to find another party to corrupt because conservatives have no intention of letting liberals take over the Republican party.

[AFPhys]

Don’t get me wrong: Right now, I would hate to see Rudy’s name next to the box in the general I would have to check. However, I’m not going to be worrying about that for about six months or so.

You mean like this gem:

60. ENSLAVEMENT OF WOMEN!
The ENSLAVEMENT OF WOMEN by the forces of Big-Brother Government and Big-Brother Religion has begun! God help us all!

[perez24]

It’s still a win!!!!

[NoBullZone]

Unfortunately there is a giant loophole in the decision:

>In addition, if intact D&E is truly necessary in some circumstances, a prior injection to kill the fetus allows a doctor to perform the procedure, given that the Act’s prohibition only applies to the delivery of “a living fetus,”<

So all the doctor has to do is give the baby a lethal injection prior to the procedure. At least a trifle more humane than tearing a live baby limb from limb, but it will hardly put a dent in the abortion mills.

“Oh... so you’d vote Third party or no vote instead... Great choice.

A vote for Rooty in the primary is a vote for the Rat in the general.

Don’t think you can push him as an option and think he could get the conservative vote in the general election. It ain't happening.
