Comments on: High Court Upholds Ban On Some Abortions

Supreme Court Narrowly Upholds Law Banning Controversial Abortion Procedure

[libsarenuts]

This ruling will not be overturned in your lifetime. The Supremes are the final authority.
And it is about time. Take your birth control before you jump in the sack.

I think it is wholly irresponsible for Ann Scheidler to make a connection between a respect for the "living" and unborn children. This is an opportunistic commentary.

Abortions in and of themselves are not the evil here, it is the religious and political agenda that is the real problem. The religous right saliavate at the opportunity to impose their belifes on other people.

Guess what, folks: not everyone believes in the same god, punishment, or religious dogma that you do. Many lawmakers dance around the "god" issue when passing these laws, but let's not be stupid; people against abortions have religious sentiments attached to the issue of abortion.

Seperation of church and state. We're becoming uncomfortably close to crushing this concept and intertwining laws and god. My womb is my territory: anything that grows in it is my business.

For peats sake- do we want more coat-hanger incidents?!?

What's really strange here is the fact that Conservatives want to save unborn babies but dont want to support them, care for them, adopt them or help them........ but don't mind when an American volunteer soldier gets killed defending freedom in an unjustified war and false security for ourselves and other poor people aroung the world.........strange.

What's really strange here is the fact that liberals don't mind killing unborn babies that are moving, thinking, and listening....... but raise a big stink when an American volunteer soldier gets killed defending freedom and security for ourselves and other poor people aroung the world.........strange.

I am just as horrified with the Amish school children massacre, the Columbine high school massacre, the Virginia Tech massacre and the daily legal murder-for-hire massacre that goes on in every abortion clinic in America... the slaughter of innocent, trusting children. If the media showed on prime time television the slaughter of unborn children in the same manner they cover the slaughter of born children, then the truth would be known. Would the practice continue, or would the public be just as horrified and angered as we are with what happened at Virginia Tech. There is no justifying any of it.

So what is the difference between the 1 procedure of crushing the skull, and dismembering?

Although I do not like the thought of this type of abortion, it seem the courts are inforcing the Christian Rights view on this, which is if the mothers life is at risk, she should die.

What about people who do are not Christians in this country? Now what comes next?

Perhaps there is hope for us yet. The fact that this barbaric proceedure was allowed makes it hard for us as a nation to condem the experiments performed on humans in prison camps - in my opinion.

Any woman and doctor who would perform this act on a defensless child is a murderer. No one has EVER been able to explain to me why this proceedure is even used - except for birth control.

I am happy to see that one violently, painful, murderous method of killing unborn children has been made illegal.
It is biologically evident that one of the purposes for s*xual relations in our bodies is procreation. Therefore, a woman must be responsibile for her body, not to put pleasure above purpose, and to provide that procreation does not occur,unless she wishes it to occur; and when it does, that she care for her child from conception through adulthood. There are plenty of ways to have s*x without conceiving children. To intentionally terminate the life of a living child in the womb is no more indiscriminate of an act than the shooter at VT coldly ending the lives of those students in the womb of their university. In both cases, human beings were in development. Their potential will never be realized, just as the potential of the babies who are terminated by their mothers will never be realized. Both kinds of deaths are sad testimonies of the culture's denial of respect for human life. And yes I did just compare intentional abortion to intentional murder!

Thank God for the wisdom and compassion of the 5 judges who see murder for what it is... inside our outside the womb. I would like to ask the other four judges if the mother were to deliver the baby a couple weeks later, then jam a tube into the cortex of the baby's brain and inject it with saline or alcohol to murder it, how would they rule on that case in a courtroom, since the baby is just as alive and aware inside or outside the mother who made the conscious decision to get pregant. There are people spending their life savings on fertility problems, harvesting and impregnating ova in petri dishes, while thousands and thousands of viable fetuses are being murdered in our country. There is no logic to it and no forgiveness.

Congratulations to the Supreme Court for upholding what our elected President and representatives voted for.

An ultraound after the first trimester shows a normal, healthy kid!

Partial Birth Abortion is murder.

We are all responsible for what happened in Blacksburg, because we allow murder and violence on video games, TV, and the movies. We are truly the culture of death.

It is great to see a decision for the culture of life.
