This is good news.

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.

I’m glad this legislation was upheld. It’s a terrible procedure where a doctor partially delivers a child’s body until only the head remains inside the womb, then punctures the back of the child’s skull with a sharp instrument, and sucks the child’s brains out before completing delivery of the now-dead infant.

I find it ironic that many of the same people who advocate for legalization of this awful procedure are also in front of the protest line declaring the lethal injection of a convicted murderer is “cruel and unusual”.

4. Stepping Back from the Brink (PBA ban upheld)

   I’m delighted to read that the Supreme Court has upheld Congress’ ban on “partial birth” abortion. It is a gruesome procedure that has no business being performed in any so-called “peaceful” nation. For instance, take this nice little descripto…

6. Although I am extremely pleased with the stand made by the Supreme Court, Im saddened by the fact that it even had to be voted on. How can sucking the brain out of a living baby ever be considered a option?

7. I only wish that Roberts had written the opinion instead of Kennedy. Kennedy left the door open by stating that if a mother’s life is in danger, the procedure can be done. To me, that is pure BS.
