Why Elections Matter — It’s the Courts, Stupid! SCOTUS Upholds Partial Birth Abortion Ban

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court has upheld the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003. Split along ideological lines, the court’s 4 committed conservatives along with Justice Kennedy gave Pro-Lifers the first glimmer of hope in a long time.
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.
The opponents of the act “have not demonstrated that the Act would be unconstitutional in a large fraction of relevant cases,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion.
The decision pitted the court’s conservatives against its liberals, with President Bush’s two appointees, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, siding with the majority.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia also were in the majority.
It was the first time the court banned a specific procedure in a case over how—not whether—to perform an abortion.
The “give-death-a-chance” folks will be screaming at the hills over this one, claiming that it’s the worst setback to women since before suffrage. Pro-lifers will have to understand that it’s only the banning of a specific, horrendous, barbaric procedure, not the restriction of all late-term abortions. But, it’s a start in the right direction.
More than 1 million abortions are performed in the United States each year, according to recent statistics.
That statistic will be used to make pro-late term abortion not sound very common — only 10%. But, 10% of 1 million is 100,000 nascent humans killed, 100,000 babies not born, 100,000 people that will never be known, never give joy to parents — blood or adopted, never be productive, never to be — anything to anyone.
Europe bought into the mass-abortion push in a big way along with all the other ’70s zero-population-growth madness and is paying a huge price today, and maybe will pay the ultimate price in the near future as its immigrant population destroys the very fabric of Western Civilization over there. We need each and every one of those 100,000 here — actually we need all 1 million: To be born, to be nurtured, to become productive, to pay taxes, to vote — to become Americans.
If, as the old college ads used to say, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”, then 1 million “lives” wasted each and every year is a complete-unforgivable disaster! Thank you SCOTUS, for hopefully turning this in a new, life-oriented direction. Remember in ‘08 why, after prosecution of the war against radical Islam, that election will matter so very much — It’s the courts, stupid!”
