Abortion ruling lacks good logic

Perhaps the San Francisco judge who banned the ban on partial-birth abortions last week was right. After, all what is the difference between a baby, more than halfway born, having his brains sucked out, and a baby, entirely within the womb, having his skull crushed and his body torn apart? Certainly, it makes no difference to the child, who becomes certainly dead. By a brutal procedure that would be condemned under anyone's conception of human rights. Not the most ardent death-penalty advocates are for head crushing or brain sucking as an acceptable form of capital punishment, even for the most ghoulish of crimes.

Partial-Birth Abortion

Letter from Anthony P. Levatino, M.D., J.D., former abortionist, explaining that the images shown above "accurately depict" the partial-birth abortion method, and that "the images are size-appropriate to a fetus of approximately 24 weeks gestation." -- March 4, 2003

Based on the images in the preceding post, it appears that PBA is a quicker and less torturous form of death than D&E.

I read that 140,000 D&E Abortions are committed every year in our land of the free and home of the brave.

The numbers make it a holocaust, the methodology makes it serial killing, the defenders of this holocaust make it a sacrament of liberal affirmation. It is telling that such a deadly sacrament has taken hold of this nation via a court fiat ruling rather than through legislative passage reflecting the will of the sovereigns. Even more blatant is the current liberal ruling from SF that the sovereign's wishes via their elected representatives are unconstitutional in banning a particularly heinous serial killing methodology! Is liberalism entrenched or what!

Liberalism, a disease in need of eradication; the Democrat Party, the pernicious vector of that disease.

Marvin,

Something in your excellent #6 triggered my memory to a book I saw but have not gotten around to reading. It is entitled: "LIBERALISM IS A SIN"

I just did a google and found that it is now fully on-line at http://www.ewtn.com/library/THEOLOGY/LIBSIN.HTM

Thank you for the ping ... it gets more difficult with each passing week to read and address the threads where the evil of democrat defended infanticide is 'debated'. How has America fallen so far into the sewer that the totally unnecessary serial killing of alive, sensing, pain-feeling unborn children is even seen to have two sides to the arguments?

Thank you! I shall try to read it this evening while I'm recuperating.

"while I'm recuperating"

Nothing too serious I hope?

Nothing of note.

The manuscript to which you linked is a very interesting one. In a short scan it appears that this 1886 Priest anticipated the pernicious nature of liberalism for the Church, then, and his exposition is quite relevant to our current pernicious liberalism disease in the political and cultural realms! I've downloaded it to my computer and will likely print it out in sections for reading and to have for quick reference. Thanks for the link.
