[Carthago delenda est]

$500 to the first person who can pinpoint the words "abortion" or "fetus" anywhere in the U.S. Constitution.

The proud defender of killing the womb-bound states, "The Center for Reproductive Rights is poised to fight this law once more. With Supreme Court precedent on our side, I am confident that we can win in the lower courts. However, just like my opponents, I am all too aware that the appointment of a new justice could spell the end of Carhart and Roe vs. Wade, both of which are currently hanging by a one-vote majority." I suppose it has skipped her notice that the rite of preborn child slaughter stands merely because of a one vote margin, thus it is not set in stone that such a ruling is in fact ethical or moral, but the proud defender of the indefensible charactewrizes the evil as if it were moral and ethical simply because a court allows it presently. The same was said of slavery, and we all know what a heinous 'institution' that is.

"The new federal bill suffers from the same two flaws that doomed Nebraska's law, as if Stenberg vs. Carhart never happened. Once again, rather than limiting the ban to a single procedure, the sponsors have written a ban so broad that it would criminalize the safest and most common methods of abortion starting at the beginning of the second trimester. Even more remarkable perhaps, the sponsors have completely ignored the Supreme Court's holding that any ban must contain a health exception. In essence, its authors have put a new coat of paint on a condemned house and are hoping that no one notices."

Who is this moron. If the SCOTUS strikes down the law with this logic, I will call for the impeachment of every justice ruling against it because they don't have the brains of a 5-year-old if they strike it down. I am serious about their lack of brain capacity, too. If anything, this bill will only cause doctors to switch the methods of late term abortions.

George Tiller in Wichita is doing another late term procedure instead of PBA as it is and says this law means nothing. He is an abortion doctor and I think he knows the loopholes.

Instead of banning all late term abortions, like some House members wanted, this bans only one specific type of late term abortion, partial birth abortion.

This idiot is truly a moron, and so will be the Justices, if they think this bill will be able to ban more than just one narrow procedure.

This bill is a joke.

The bill, which is similar to one already passed by the Senate, is expected to be signed by the president shortly.

Not soon enough. I sure hope it's done before summer recess. Wouldn't want it to be forgotten about and have events and/or elections get in the way.

Message to GWB...if you delay the signing and something happens to stop the ban from being put into effect, you're not going to talk your way out of that one. It can't wait for another election cycle...it's too important.

In fact, it should've been done before the trip to the Middle East!

[Blood of Tyrants]

A ban without a health exception, the court held, would endanger women because it would prevent the physician from performing the method of abortion that was the safest for a particular woman.

A partial birth abortion is NEVER safer than a cesaerian and NEVER medically necessary.

You won't find "gigging" either.

Prayer for the Helpless Unborn

            Heavenly Father, in your love for us,
            protect against the wickedness of the
            devil, those helpless little ones to
            whom you have give the gift of life.

            Touch with pity the hearts of those
            women pregnant in our world today
            who are not thinking of motherhood.

            Help them to see that the child they
            carry is made in your image- as well
            as theirs- made for eternal life.

            Dispel their fear and selfishness and
            give them tur womanly hearts to love
            their babies and give them birth and
            all the needed care that a mother
            alone can give.

            We ask this through Jesus Christ,
            your Son, our Lord, who lives and
            reigns in the Holy Spirit, one God,
            forever and ever.

            Amen.

Freepers, rather than waiting to see what happens with Estrada, we need to take the lead. That means presuring Senators, special interest groups, media organizations, etc. This thread is meant to be an ongoing effort to get this man confirmed. For too many years liberals have had their way on the courts. Now, President Bush is in a position to move the courts to the right. The election of '02 showed that the country is with the President. I think it's time to let Daschle, Hillary, and Pelosi know this is Bush country. Are you with me! Let's FREEP these people.
