WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court upheld the nationwide ban on a controversial abortion procedure Wednesday, handing abortion opponents the long-awaited victory they expected from a more conservative bench.
The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

My hope is that the militant life-hating feminazis are having a few moments of displeasure this morning. Small price to pay for saving thousands of babies from cruel suffering.
I’m sorry that I can’t respond more fully to your articulate post (I don’t think my boss would appreciate it), but don’t you think that:
* a ban on abortions or certain abortion procedures may change some of the social attitudes towards casual sex and individuals not making sure that there is some form of birth control in place before they engage in the “do it if it feels good” mantra of our country?
* while the short term welfare state may expand, maybe the states can help eleviate some of this issue, maybe by making the adoption process easier and CHEAPER. Here in NY, the adoption process could cost someone close to $20,000. Granted, we would need to find other areas to shrink the welfare state besides just changing adoption laws, but a change in attitude and easier access to adoptions are good starts.
Right now, people are guestimating that over 1 million abortions are being performed a year in this country. And while I have not seen the numbers for abortions per year pre Roe, the welfare state back then was not what it is today. So, there is a solution, but we have to start with the basic premise that children in the womb have a right to LIVE. And we need to proceed from there.
By the way, you idea of ultrasounds is the key to cutting abortions. NARAL and PP have done a great job in misinforming women for decades. We have to get that part of the argument back.
“Kennedy apparently was upset over being misled by the majority when he voted with them in Casey years ago.”
and how does an alleged educated, successful Supreme Court justice find himself in the situation where he allows himself to be “misled”?

Condolences on your loss of your precious baby. :*(
That DUmmie thinks they perform this atrocity only on babies that have died in the womb?? They need to research exactly the horror of this procedure. :*(
:)
Thanks for that clarification.
It was very savvy of Chief Justice Roberts to assign the opinion to Kennedy. That move probably ensured Kennedy’s vote (Kennedy has always needed considerable courting from colleagues).

Oh please, stop the mindless regurgitation of whiney-con propaganda . . . The President has gotten ALL of the major issues right: He has protected America from a second terrorist attack; He saved our economy from the Clinton-Gore recession and the distinct possibility of depression (after 911); and he has advanced the tenets of LIFE and LIBERTY to unprecedented levels!
President George W Bush deserves our respect NOT our derision . . . We will not see his like again soon!
Exactly. Stevens is 87 years old. We can not wait an additional four years.
This has been way too long coming. I know as I suspect most in this forum does, what the face of genocide looks like.
We’ve been rationalizing that ‘face’ with a name...partial birth abortion.
Now, lets watch as Rudy Guiliani reacts....
God bless President Bush and CJ Roberts.
My exact thoughts when I heard the decision. I will not forget those who have forged the trail that left his side.
It just goes to show that it really was never just about "terminating a pregnancy" at all. We all terminated our mother's pregnancies by being born. We just wern't butchered in the process. Roe's whole barbaric perversion of law was never about anything other than an insanely conceived 'right' to a dead baby.
Cordially,
God bless George Bush and the five wise SCOTUS!!!
So lets hear from the 'conservatives' that have been screaming for 6 years that George W. Bush isn't 'conservative' enough for them. Hopefully, some of the hotheads may finally come to realize that getting elected is far more important than bashing each other and 'RINO's' which ultimately allows liberals to take command.
How very true...
Amen. We MUST stick together or we will go down. We all need each other.
