Supreme Court upholds partial-birth abortion ban

Today our hope in the culture of life is bolstered. This is a very small step, but it is progress towards an end to our American genocide.

From the AP News:
"For the first time since the court established a woman's right to an abortion in 1973, the justices upheld a nationwide ban on a specific abortion method, labeled partial-birth abortion by its opponents.

The 5-4 decision written by Justice Anthony Kennedy 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." There is no such thing in the Constitution.

What is partial-birth abortion? The abortionist breaks the woman's water and pulls the baby, usually in the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy, out of the vagina feet first. Almost the entire baby except for the head is delivered. Then the abortionist takes a scissor tool and pokes a hole in the back of the baby's skull. Then, the abortionist "removes the scissors and introduces a suction catheter into this hole and evacuates the skull contents," i.e. the brain is sucked out. Does it sound too horrific? Don't believe me? See for yourself medical diagrams and instructions written by an abortionist.

Partial-birth abortion is indeed a grotesque act. But so is every other abortion where a unique human person is killed. You might cringe at the thought of a baby, almost delivered fully, being so violently terminated. Yet, this is NO different than the baby who is ripped limb from limb in a Dilation and Extraction abortion at 15 weeks. It is NO different than the tiny human who is cut off from the womb by RU-486 at 8 weeks. Either way a child dies and a woman is scarred forever.

It appears that the court argued the case on the basis of the mother's health, rather than the humanity of the unborn child. Partial-birth abortion (PBA) is never medically necessary. If a woman's health is indeed in danger, the safest course of action is to deliver the baby pre-term, not murder it.

What did Obama say? Nothing about the baby. He is afraid of further restrictions on "the right to choose." First, no one should have the right to kill a child. Second, while I certainly DO hope that more restrictions are put in place, PBA accounts for only 4000 abortions per year out of 1.2 million - hardly an encroachment on the abortion industry. This just shows how much the radical pro-aborts spin reality.

How about Hillary? Nothing about the baby or the fact that PBA is not medically necessary. Only that women have the right to kill the children they conceive.

Thank you to everyone who has been fighting this battle. May the Lord bless America in spite of our great sin. Grant us the strength to keep defending life!
