“The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.” C. S. Lewis

1973 United States Supreme Court

Note that the only two who voted against the majority (against MURDERING babies) are on the right side of the photo. Rehnquist standing, and White seated. Now isn’t that interesting….Hmmmm………

Thanks for posting this. I suspect it will be on the docket by mid-month. Senators need to hear from us immediately and steadily until then.

[Mark was here]

Read the Constitution, this is a mater for the States.

The Unborn Victims of Violence Act would recognize an unborn child as a legal victim when he or she is injured during the commission of a federal crime of violence. The bill is strongly supported by President Bush.

Expect the NOW crowd to come out swinging!

So was abortion. Are you objecting to that being taken away from the States to decide, too?

[Arpege92]

They should change NOW to COW....never mind, it is degrading to cow's everywhere!

A pro-active thread on the article previously posted/buried in today's Laci thread.

It is properly a state issue. Roe v. Wade was invented out of whole cloth and bears no relationship to anything in the Constitution of the United States.

Bump!

blocked in the Senate by strong opposition from NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and other pro-abortion groups -- even though the bill explicitly excludes abortion, and even though 26 states already have unborn victims laws for state crimes, none of which have affected abortion.

Because they don't want anyone to consider that mass of tissue in the womb a baby!

Pro-Life bump!

Thanks, RG!

Thanks for the ping, cpforlife.

In Texas, Scott couldn't be charged for the death of his son because, as one woman put it so eloquently, in Texas the child is a "no- thing" before birth. There is no way to bring a charge in civil or criminal court for the wrongful death of an unborn child who dies in Texas against his or her mother's will.

HB 246, The Prenatal Protection Act is being held up in the State Affairs Committee of the Texas Legislature because the Texas Medical Association doesn't want the unborn child to be recognized as a cause for malpractice. This in a year when the TMA is demanding Tort Reform and caps on malpractice judgements!


Texans, please consider calling your Representative and Senator and maybe even Speaker of the House Craddick and ask them to help get HB 246 on the floor. We have 89 co-sponsors: more than a majority!! But, the TMA has insisted that the minority of bad doctors who cause a child's death due to negligence or malice and against the mother's will should not be held responsible for malpractice.

"We remember Laci and Conner" bump.

Liberals find rights in the Constitution that don't exist and wish to deny to us those that do.

When those judges said they found a right to an abortion in there Madison and the gang must have rolled over in their graves.

Catching up bump.

OMG Using new keyboard wow nice.
