Supreme Court rules in favor of Partial Birth Abortion Ban

April 18, 2007

As everybody has heard by now the supreme court has ruled in favor of the ban on partial birth abortions. While pro choice advocates are going to portray this as the start of the repeal or Roe vs. Wade, and the beginning of the end to a woman’s right to choose this isn’t quite the case.

According to the above article:

The law bans a method of ending a pregnancy, rather than limiting when an abortion can be performed.

So you can see from the excerpt above this ruling bans a specific method of abortion, nothing else.

This form of abortion, if you can even call it that, requires labor to be induced until the baby’s head is birthed and then crushing the skull. This is barbaric, and disgusting. It’s not a point of a woman’s right to choose in her third trimester. If a woman’s life is in jeopardy  in the third trimester, why can’t they perform a c-section and save both the baby and the mother? She must have wanted the baby or she wouldn’t have waited so long.

Why is it if a baby is only half birthed it is not life, but if the rest of the baby was birthed it would be?

Also from the article:

Abortion opponents say the law will not reduce the number of abortions performed because an alternate method – dismembering the fetus in the uterus – is available and, indeed, much more common.

You can dismember a baby in the womb that if it were birthed would live? What is happening in this country where we fail to protect the most innocent of all, the children?

All the presidential candidates have weighed in and they fall right in line where you would expect. Hillary, Obama, and Edwards don’t agree with the ruling, while McCain, Romney( who was for abortion before he was against it), and Guiliani were all in favor.

This is a small victory for the pro-life side, but will be portrayed as a sweeping defeat by the pro-choice crowd.

Digg!

    This ruling applies to only a small number of the abortions done each year, less than .3%, and also is very limited to the D&X procedure. It also allows language for doctor’s to seek relief should it pose an undue burden on the woman.

    Hardly cause to cheer or jeer. A slight movement against Roe v Wade, but not very much shifting.
