I consider this part of the Bush "legacy" as he appointed the judges which made this possible
Supreme Court OKs Abortion Procedure Ban (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070418/D8OJ7CL00.html)
Though only a small percent of the over 1.3 million abortions a year our "ladies" commit in the US, it is one of the most gruesome ways we had come up with to murder our babies. Glad to see it banned .. again.

Agreed.
WOOT, 6000th post!!!
-
bump for historical significance ...
to bad the repubs don't have an ad showing graphic photos of a partial birth abortion imposed behind all the dumbacrats who are now screaming about some lost woman rights because of this decision. It would be a powerful and enlightening ad.
-
correct me if I am wrong, but partial birth abortions happen at the time of birth. IE. the head pops out and they kill it, right?
If so, I do not support that at all. However I do support a woman's right to choose and I do think there is a huge difference between a bunch of cells and a full term fetus.

The Partial-Birth Aboriton procedure is used after 20 weeks (4.5 months) of pregnancy – often to six months, seven months or even later.
Murder is Murder! No and's or if's about it!
You "INTENTIONALLY" kill someone you - deserve to be killed, baby or adult it doesnt matter.

bodhi in a partial birth abortion the child must be breached because if the child's head exits the birth canal it is considerd to be born. in this horrific proceedure the child is inverted while in the uterus so that his body is out but for his head. a needle is inserted through the base of the skull and the child's brain is sucked out. at that time a dead "fetus" is removed.
-
Am I correct in the assumption that there is no provision for using this procedure when it would save the life of the mother?
If there is, could someone quote the decision where it states that it does?
Not poking eyes here, I realy don't know if this is true.
-
I remember the politicians crowding on the floor of the house urging their members to pass the assault weapons ban with this cry:
"Do it for the Children"
Ultimately the woman who is pregnant calls the shots. I just wish the politicians would be honest about it.
-
i am reluctant to insert myself into other people's lives, so this topic is hard for me.
i made a woman pregnant. i didn't love her. when faced with the decision of abortion, i knew instantly that i couldn't abide by that and we got married. it lasted 2 years. i don't believe not loving a spouse should make abortion ok, but that's me. my daughter from that is so much a part of me.
it wasn't based on religeon or advice from anyone. i think that was the first important decision i ever made in my life. it was based totally on my feeling that it is wrong to kill that life because i screwed up, and i didn't allow it, and my ex went along.
i mind my own business, so i have trouble with laws that tell people what to do. But I can't approve abortions. Partialbirth abortions? It is inconceivable.
-
I had a buddy of mine from High School go through a horrific experience with this.
He and his wife had been trying to have a child for a long time. Finally, they conceived one. She got along about 4 months, and went in for an ultrasound checkup.
Due to something( They never told me what, and I never asked) There was a problem in the womb. Seems that the Child was developing some of it's internal organs outside of the skin.Apperantly the major ones, such as the heart and lungs.
However, the fetus was still alive.
No doctor they saw said that if Birth was succesful(It would be a surgical Procedure even more invasive than a C-section), could they give even less than a 1% chance for survival. They decided to abort.
Now in this, It should be said, they kept trying, and did eventually have a normal, healthy child. But to this day, my buddy and the doctor agreed, to never let his wife see just how scary looking the ultrasound images were.
The doctor said it would have scared her out of trying to have another child. As it was, they had to go to counseling over the abortion part.

Gunthr you helped save a life. A very special life. Good on you bro! You done good :)

Silly law and silly ruling.
You have taken a procedure that is used almost never .. except when the life of the mother is in danger.. and ruled that it can be used almost never... except when the life of the mother is in danger.
brilliant.

I'm with MT on this one... in reality, a PBA would only be performed if it was discovered late term that the fetus is not viable (meaning it will die either prior to birth or immediately after despite medical intervention) or if the mothers life is in jeopardy.
IMHO... this ban is not a good thing.

Answer my question and I'll answer yours...

If this procedure can't be used to save the life of the mother then it's obviously a bad decision.

Nope, I wasn't. I was just pointing out what the real reason for this ruling was. Exact same reason why the gun owners won't allow any encroachment, even so minor, against gun rights.
I've personally swayed back and forth on the issue. Today my thought is that if the baby is going to be healthy (and so is the mother), then it should be illegal to kill it. If it will have problems, then abortion becomes legal.
Of course then the problem starts with how do you define problems, nothing is perfectly black and white, yadda yadda yadda...

Whil eI have made it well known here that I am pro choice.
I have no problem with this ruling
I see it as fair and just for both sides

Murder? You have a flair for the melodramatic. If a child is stillborn, is the mother arrested for murder? If a woman has a miscarrage should we throw her in jail? A dead fetus is a dead fetus.

why? is it your perfered method of birth control? You do realize that is what it is used for the majority of the time.
you can always leave ..

The method in this ruling is used in less than 1% of all abortions, and it affects couples who want a child, but something has gone terribly wrong during the pregnancy. The fetus is dying, already brain dead or has abnormalities that make it unable to live outside the womb - if it even goes full term.
The "ladies" affected by this are grieving mothers who have nurseries and cribs waiting, but have to live with an unbearable situation. Yanking out the "killer" card to paint all of them as inhuman is an evil and indecent thing to do.

IT is call a D&XorC . The rightwing Christians named it partial birth to scare their sheep.
It is used rarely and mostly when the mothers life is in danger. This ruling made no consideration of the womens health and welfare.
This is a religious issue and has no place at the SC.

you are wrong. it has it's place in the SC as it is the first step in the right direction since 1973. the goal is to overturn roe v wade. this is legal precedent and a very important one. I hope to see roe v wade overturned in my lifetime.

It is religious.
It doesnt take the womens health into consideration.

Mark my words. In our lifetime Abortion will never be made completely illegal.
The best that will ever happen is it will become more regulated.

I don't consider murder when the thing is nothing much of a gathering of cells. You might as well go to jail when you remove your maule from your butt cheecks, it's a living cell too afterall. Abortion helps resolve mistakes, teach a good lesson, and help famillies to get back on track. To me, the real crime is to bring a child to this world that is not wanted, and will be loosely taken care off. And if no abortion is synonim with adoption, oh my god, I'm sure it feels very good to spend your life knowing your parents abandoned you, or not knowing the wherabouts of your own child.
And hell no I'm not going to leave, I'll exercise my freedom and fight the radical integrists that wave the religion or moral baneer. If you are that prone on controlling other people's life and alter women's rights, maybe you are the one that should leave, and move your to Al Quaeda controled country of choice.:confused:

Very good point, Rolex.

sir you are so wrong on so many issues that it requires less efort for me to note the issues you are correct on. I will dedicate the latter part of this post to show you where you do not go awry.
that about covers it. carry on

Gunthr you helped save a life. A very special life. Good on you bro! You done good - Yeager
thanks Yeager... i really do appreciate your comment, and i get a little choked up thinking about it even today. i kind of resent those who paint people against abortion with with a broad brush - labeling people who are against abortion as rightwing religious nuts - i consider it an insult, and its certainly innaccurate in my case, and I'm sure many others. I have never been religious. I was in a jam, and I was very tempted to go with the abortion to be done with it. The pregnant "girlfriend" said that if I didn't marry her, she would get an abortion. I knew instinctively that it is wrong to kill a fetus. I know in my heart I did the right thing. it was hard to do, but i did it.
just because you have reverence for human life doesn't mean you are a nutjob. That kind of desensitsation is a result of the San Fransico/California liberalism type of mindset. I was acquainted (by introduction) with a woman, a teacher, who had had 17 abortions. i'm not down on promiscuity per se for single people, but trifling with human life is just wrong. Doesn't everyone know in their hearts that its wrong?

I stated the majority of abortions are "oops did I spread my legs again last night?" after the fact birth control. That is a fact.

Most of the guys arguing on this board against abortion are too ugly to get laid in the first place, so it's a moot point, really.

No, there is an exception for the life of the mother, but not for her health.
If you read Kennedy's decision, it's very clear Roe will not be overturned by this court. But the decision was important for several reasons.
- Obviously intact D&E is now illegal (unless the woman's life is in danger).
- Medical uncertainty is now an appropriate premise for regulation. If the medical experts don't agree whether a procedure is safe or necessary, the legislature can regulate it.
- Abortion restrictions no longer have to include exceptions for the health of the mother.
- Abortions can be restricted so long as alternatives exist. This is very important because it opens the door for a variety of restrictions like parental notification, and outlawing a variety of specific methods, as long as you don't impose an undue burden (restrict all abortions).
In other words, the decision has set in place guidelines for the State to draft further abortion restrictions that will pass constitutional muster.

More about morality than religion. Certainly many who are religious hold it to be morally wrong to kill the innocent. A society that destroys it's most innocent at a count of over a million a year can be described at best as uncivilized.

not to mention stupid. with over 10 million and counting aborted US citizens many of whom would now be productive and contributing with taxes as well as bolstering social security. can we say racist? the majority of aborted people were black and hispanic, communities where on demand abortion is used as a method of contraception. abortion is the tool of the white communist elitists in the democratic party keeping the number of the colored competition managable.
margaret sanger is smiling in hell as we debate this great wrong. her racist policy has worked infamously.
