Doesn't the Supreme Court deserve kudos for doing the right thing?

Question

They surely do this time, even if four of the justices were either blind or on drugs.

The VPI shootings were terrible news, The liberals whining about bans on guns is sickening, I have a terrible backache, work is killing me, and I haven't had sex in a while, but when I saw the headlines on the Supreme Court decision to ban MURDER (read: partial-birth abortions), it was the culmination of something I have been advocating for many years. It isn't often in these times of money-chasing, blaming everyone but the guy in the mirror, and the all-about-me culture that one sees there are rational, sane and common-sensical folks in the world besides me. If more LIBERALS and superficial, selfish people would open their eyes and use their noggins, we wouldn't even have to have such a stupid "debate." Anyone who can watch a partial-birth abortion on film and say it isn't cold-blooded murder isn't a rational person.

C'mon Bush: get ONE MORE level-headed person on the SC!

Answer 1

KUDOS indeed. . .

Answer 2

What nobody mentions is this procedure is extremely rare. It happens in about one-half of one percent of all abortions in the United States.
And it usually takes place because there are such serious complications with the pregnancy that it often threatens the life and health of the mother. If occurs very late stage in a pregnancy, at a point when no one would consider having an abortion unless it was absolutely necessary.

The right wingers have latched onto it to open the door to restricting ALL abortions, the vast majority which take place during the first trimester.

Roberts and Alito are appalling, right-wing nutcase additions to the court and we need a new president, not more Nazis on the Supreme Court.

Answer 3

The Supreme Court made a foolish and wrong decision.
There are only a limited number of resources available to sustain life on this planet. To use those resouces to possibly cause the death of a mother and to cause a fetus to suffer when it is unwanted and possibly sick is insane. But it is politically correct.
The only way to protect children is to allow abortion when it is right. And it is a right that can never be take away.

Answer 4

The decision is a nauseating example of the Bush administration's politicization of EVERY phase of public administration and policy.

It's bad medicine, because it deprives doctors of a way to save the life of a women in the late stages of a pregnancy that must be terminated if she is preserved.

It's patronizing and demeaning to women. Alito and Roberts justified their decision as "protecting" women, in case they might not understand what the procedure entailed, as if women are too stupid and helpless to confront and comprehend the situation that suggests such a procedure, or the consequences of either proceeding or not proceeding with it.

It's bad law, ignoring more than a century of legal precedent and reversing many previous decisions by both circuit and appellate courts, and by the Supreme Court, itself. It's a reversal of long-standing recognition of women's right to independence and respect as sovereign humans, not adjuncts of [here read wiser and stronger] men. It is a blatant step in an attempt to deprive women of the right to control the decisions that affect them and their physical, mental, and emotional persons, first and foremost.

Level-headed is not the word for two men who deliberately hid or lied about their intentions and their judicial philosophies during their Senate confirmation hearings--men who were--and are--more devoted to partisan politics than to the law. Both are longstanding Republican party hacks, and both have disgraced the reputation for usually impartial deliberation based on legal precedent that is the heritage left them--and us--by their predecessors for more than 200 years.

Answer 5

Good for the Supreme Court. You're right, partial birth abortions are sick.

Answer 6

Everyone should own a gun, but partial birth abortions are sick?

OK, so we only get to kill them AFTER they are born? I got it.
