Partial Birth Abortion Ban Upheld by SCOTUS

For what it's worth, the supreme court only upheld a law that baned one specific type of abortion - removing the fetus intact and crushing or cutting the skull. A much more common method - dismembering the fetus while still in the uterus - is still allowed. Also, as the article below states, 90% of abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and aren't affected by this law.

IMO, this isn't indicating any "start of something" with regards to abortion. They aren't limiting when abortions can take place, or who can have them, or anything like that. They're simply ruling against one method of abortion while leaving other methods untouched.

 

Ruth really had her undies in a knot in her dissent. hahahahaa... How funny!!

Why's everyone afraid to say 'baby' in stead of featus ... pull the head off a 7 month old fetus? Haven't premature babys survived as early as 5 months or younger? Do the feet have to clear the womb before the name changes? Or, when does the name change?

 

How do you define that "certain amount of time"? Whats the arbitrary number you would have us use, Berman?

 

The Government has absolutely no business telling a woman what she can and cannot do.

This isn't Islam and we aren't under Sharia law.. keep out of peoples freaking business.

Everything but the infants head comes out during a partial birth abortion read all about it here. . .

I don't know about giving the baby a name at that point but a couple more inches and you could call it murder. :angry:

Wait, you're pro-choice? Or were you being facetious?

Maybe if they just shot the fetus with an assault rifle... :blink:

This may be true; I agree with you. Especially about the % of humans doing wrong.

But...

I also believe that the credibility and effectiveness of our judgement would be increased if we were more adept at casting the light of self-examination upon ourselves.

That's all I'm saying.

.... Maybe you should apply this to yourself. Stop bashing your own country and the people whom service and sacrifice.

I'm not bashing our Country any more than you're supporting it.

It is possible to be pro-American without being anti-the-rest-of-the-world...haven't you heard?

Now, back to what's important: How about a $400 haircut?!? Now THAT'S un-American.
