An erosion of abortion rights

TAKING AN important medical choice away from women and doctors, the Supreme Court yesterday upheld a federal law banning the procedure known to opponents as partial-birth abortion. Other laws and court decisions have eroded the right to an abortion established by Roe v. Wade, but yesterday's 5-4 ruling is particularly threatening to that right for two reasons: The court approved the 2003 ban even though it does not allow exemptions based on the woman's health, and the court reversed its own earlier ruling on this procedure, suggesting it might be willing to reverse itself on Roe v. Wade as well.

Its nice to see the left pissed off.

[Tim Long]

Proving the extreme degree of their sick minds.

The Boston Globe plays an important role here at the Gay State Conservative household.It’s used to line the birdcage,it’s laid down at the doorway to prevent snow and water being tracked in.....

Note to Liberals:

Technicality: Abortion is not a right. It is a law.

Thank God laws can be over turned.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

That is about all it is good for. I rarely read it anymore. But I knew that they would be super pissed today!

[unkus]

It is >always< a good thing when the Left is PO’d.

Of the more than 1 million abortions in the United States each year, nearly 90 percent occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and would not be affected by yesterday's decision.

But that's not enough! We need more dead babies, MORE, MORE, MORE!

[FixitGuy]

Let the baby killers complain for 33 years.

By then maybe we will have become civilized.

[MPJackal]

PBA is a sick and evil practice. It is murder plain and simple. The AMA also stated there is NEVER a medical need for a PBA. Yet the left keep repeating this lie.

[skeeter]

These people are religious fanatics, and Planned Parenthood is their church.

[The Worthless Miracle]

Love that society just accepts it as a “right”. Sigh...

[BigCinBigD]

What we need are more live babies and more aborted leftists.

[Figment]

They are so afraid of laws that would restrict abortion of fetuses that could survive outside the womb. That is murder no matter what your definition of when life begins.
I heard a local radio talk show host absolutely shred Ellen Ratner on that point this morning.The host and his wife have a four year old that was born at 25 weeks. As usual, the obnoxious lib didn’t have a clue as to how badly she lost the debate

[mriguy67]

It was odd how the day of the VT tragedy and the abortion ruling happened on the same day. Innocent people were killed and innocent lives were saved that very same day. I just wonder if the left realizes how conflicted they sound by being saddened by the shooting and also saddened by not being able to take the life of an unborn child. hmmmmm

[Campion]

unless backers of abortion rights use the ballot box to steer the country back toward support of a woman's right to end a pregnancy.

Delusional insanity (typical for the Globe) ... the pro-aborts have never used the ballot box for anything yet; they've invariably used the judiciary to cram their sick ideas down the national throat.

Good luck getting a groundswell of popular support in the ballot box for sucking babies' brains out of their skulls.

Important????

[olezip]

Wrong title. I think Boston Globe meant to say an erosion of MURDER rights.

[Brilliant]

The same people who promised to move to Canada if Bush were elected. They are still here whining.

[unkus]

The left is aborting themselves out of existence.

[unkus]

The pro-aborts seem to be more against >guns< than they are against killing. OK to kill a baby but they seem to say it’s only bad when people get killed because guns were used. Or something to that effect.
