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.

Once again, you're projecting your feelings onto election results instead of looking at the results. Bush 41 did NOT lose from a lack of conservative support.
Bingo!
He has also said that Roe vs. Wade was "good constitutional law."
Trust him to appoint good judges at your peril.
“Your legalisms are inaccurate, but even if they weren’t, you strain out a gnat and swallow a dumpster full of dead babies.”
“Dumpster full of dead babies”...mmmmm...sounds like a great title for a death metal song!
If a woman wants to have her leg amputated, that's fine with me. She can do whatever she wants with her own body, after all. Abortion is the deliberate killing of a life separate from her own, and that life is jeopardized simply because of geography. Freedom has nothing to do with it. She was free to keep her legs together at the knees, after all, in about 98% of all unexpected pregnancies.
With views like yours, how can you stand being on a forum like this? You know what? I don't want to know. If I really cared to know, I'd be hanging out at DU.
Point taken. I am not a big Rudy fan myself. I still believe that one statement was consistent , but obviously he has made more than one statement and you seem to have looked at his history more closely than I have. I defer to your expertise.
Nah, too long. But it would be a great death metal album title.
“Kennedy apparently was upset over being misled by the majority when he voted with them in Casey years ago.” What do you mean by this? (Not challenging you; I really don’t know the answer.)
Fair enough.
Though I personally don’t understand how one could vote for a pro-life socialist over a limited government type who is not perfect on abortion, I do respect your opinion, convictions on the Life Issue, and your honesty in answering.
Thank you!
My real thought is that if there are some 55 million abortions annually worldwide and 35 million in the U.S. alone, what does that say about women anyway?
Whatever happened to moms and apple pie? When did so many get to be murderers?
Oh, wait. These are the women who don’t think unborn babies are real live human beings!
How come we, as a nation, are outraged when one gunman kills 32 people, and we aren’t outraged when 55 million women kill unwanted babies?
What’s wrong with this picture?
Hey, people. Wake up. God is watching! This is the same God who lifted up an entire island in the Solomon Islands during the last earthquake. The island rose ten feet. Do you have any idea how much power that took?
It’s absolutely time for all of us to start being good. Don’t know what that means? Get ahold of a copy of the Ten Commandments. And be quick about it.
“Dumpster full of dead babies”...mmmmm...sounds like a great title for a death metal song!
Nah, too long. But it would be a great death metal album title.
True dat...I have written some really gory and disgusting lyrics for songs...and that would be a great album title...either that, or “Chocolate Covered Fetus”...
Is that like saying that killing terrorists in Iraq will only help Al-Quaida recruting?
