The result of having a pro life president that appoints Supreme Court judges that will uphold the constitution, and life.

[Always Right]

So much for the arguement that Presidents have no impact on abortions.

[ElkGroveDan]

This is huge!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Yet another reason NOT to nominate Rudy.

Rudy thinks “strict construction” means hanging onto bad precedents like Roe v. Wade that have nothing to do with the Constitution.

It is a small ray of sunshine on an otherwise dreary week.

WOW!!! Kennedy came through!

This is a monumental victory. Thank GOD!

Partial birth abortion is not a choice, it is murder!

[Cicero]

A big step forward. Frankly, I had expected Kennedy to go the other way, especially with the shift in momentum caused by the 2006 election and the possibility of a Democrat administration after 2008.

We still need to look closely at the text of the opinion. Right to lifers supported this case because ANY limitation on the unlimited abortion “right” changes the momentum in the right direction. It begins to roll back the arbitrary and unconstitutional decisions made in Roe v. Wade and Casey.

BUT, if the argument puts too much stress on the DIFFERENCE between partial birth abortion and all other forms of abortion, then it will be less useful. It could be argued that it was not really abortion that is outlawed. As the article says, “The law bans a method of ending a pregnancy, rather than limiting when an abortion can be performed.”

This will, presumably, put an end to all those judicial holds that have been put on state bans of partial birth abortion. But I suspect that that, too, may have to be fought tooth and nail over a period of time, because liberal judges don’t surrender easily.

“Today’s decision is alarming,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in dissent. She said the ruling “refuses to take ... seriously” previous Supreme Court decisions on abortion.”

Spoken like a true Liberal.

Thank God for men like Scalia and Thomas. Thank God.

Abortion opponents say the law will not reduce the number of abortions performed because an alternate method — dismembering the fetus in the uterus — is available and, indeed, much more common.

Then why all the fight by the pro-death crowd to keep partial birth abortion? Why?

The Republican-controlled Congress responded in 2003 by passing a federal law...

Sidebar:Why did/does the MSM ALWAYS refer to it as "The Republican controlled Congress", and now NEVER refers to "The Democratically controlled Congress", rather, now it's always referred to just as "Congress". Why is that? Notice how writing it as "the Republican controlled Congress" always telegraphs to the reader that a "Republican controlled Congress is a bad thing.

Unbelieveable. A member of the human race can speak of such things as 'dismembering' another human being---is heartless and evil to the core.

There is hope....

Praise God!

Rooty Ghouliani’s partial birth of a campaign has been aborted.

[Eagle of Liberty]

It was the first time the court banned a specific procedure in a case over how — not whether — to perform an abortion.

MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE SOON! The court is NOT banning anything. The court is just declaring the law constitutional, which is what the job of the Supreme Court SHOULD BE!

AP really needs to stop writing stories through the Socialist lens. In America, our Government consists of THREE bodies. The Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial. Each body has checks and balances over the others. The AP believes that the SUPREME COURT or our CONGRESS, whichever they are dealing with at the time, has SUPREME control over our government.

Probably more fun for the abortionists as well.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The Supreme Court upheld an abortion ban? What planet am I on today?
