Let it be known..
Today the Supreme Court banned partial birth abortions.Let it be known that Presidential candidates John Edwards, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton wholeheartedly endorse the killing of babies in the womb:
"I could not disagree more strongly with today's Supreme Court decision. The ban upheld by the Court is an ill-considered and sweeping prohibition that does not even take account for serious threats to the health of individual women. This hard right turn is a stark reminder of why Democrats cannot afford to lose the 2008 election. Too much is at stake - starting with, as the Court made all too clear today, a woman's right to choose." - John Edwards
I strongly disagree with today’s Supreme Court ruling, which dramatically departs from previous precedents safeguarding the health of pregnant women. As Justice Ginsburg emphasized in her dissenting opinion, this ruling signals an alarming willingness on the part of the conservative majority to disregard its prior rulings respecting a woman’s medical concerns and the very personal decisions between a doctor and patient. I am extremely concerned that this ruling will embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a woman's right to choose, and that the conservative Supreme Court justices will look for other opportunities to erode Roe v. Wade, which is established federal law and a matter of equal rights for women. - Barack Obama
This decision marks a dramatic departure from four decades of Supreme Court rulings that upheld a woman's right to choose and recognized the importance of women's health. Today's decision blatantly defies the Court's recent decision in 2000 striking down a state partial-birth abortion law because of its failure to provide an exception for the health of the mother. As the Supreme Court recognized in Roe v. Wade in 1973, this issue is complex and highly personal; the rights and lives of women must be taken into account. It is precisely this erosion of our constitutional rights that I warned against when I opposed the nominations of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito." - Hillary Clinton
Will someone please abort these three clowns?

Well, they are right insofar as this does seem to signal a willingness to take on Roe v. Wade. Personally, this whole business shouldn't be political fodder for either side, IMO. And frankly, I question whether the folks arguing for an outright wholesale ban on abortion are going to want to pick up the tab for the slew of unwanted children born into impoverished/troubled homes. My guess is the answer is "no."
But whatever. I grew tired of this issue about 3 election cycles ago. That being said, seeing the D & X procedure go away is not a problem in my book.
Ok. First off, that baby could have had a life. THAT is MURDER. I don't agree at all with abortions unless the baby is going to die or something. I'd rather give up my life for the life of my child. And for someone to say that this is a bad thing!? Should be shot to death. Partial Birth abortion is sucking the brains out of what could have been a beautiful new soul into the world. If you're going to have an abortion do it the other way- you know, so the baby doesnt think it's fixing to experience life. Humans are monsters.
Curious to see what others had to say about this issue, I searched and found your blog. As a "pro-life" advocate that has worked in the foster care system for nearly 25 years, I have a unique perspective. Personally, I am against all abortion whether it be under the guise of a "day-after" pill or the late term. It is all murder.
However, I wish that my fellow advocates for all life would put half as much effort into supporting the children we have existing in the foster care system as they do in the "pro-life" fight.
Regardless of what propaganda you might have heard, babies aren't snapped up after birth. Adoption is expensive and people are rather picky, not judging these people-just stating the facts as I see them. Not to mention, with the advance of "modern medicine", the people that could afford to adopt these babies no longer desire to do so. They receive in vitro or hire someone to carry their child for them.
It is upsetting to me, that so many fight to protect lives, then callously disregard them once they are brought into this world.
I suppose I've said what I intended and I hope this plants a thought in someone's mind to continue fighting for all life, including those that happen after birth. Thank you for letting me post here. God bless.
1) You are a man. how dare you sit back, like so many fattened beurocrats in DC, and think you have any sort of justification to put mandates on a woman's body, especially her reproductive rights.
2) You are so completely naive, like so many fundamental Christian righties, to think that putting bans on certain types of abortions will in fact have anything but negative repercussions. You think that just because someone might think it better that a woman and her trained doctor make life-altering decisions that they are "baby killers." The main reason Clinton, Obama, Ginsburg, etc, etc, etc.... were all against this ban is because they are humble enough to recognize that these health-related issues should be decided by trained professional and not some politico whose main influence is religion and partisanship.
Why must Christians always make things so black and white. NO ISSUE is mearly black and white. You think abortion is killing babies, period. You think woman are to be used primarily for reproduction, period. I'm sorry you'd rather give up your life to birth a motherless child, but count me out.
Oh, and calling the morning after pill abortion when all it does is removed a colection of several newly implanted cells from the uterine lining is ABSOLUTELY ABSURD!! Take a biology class or something, please before you formulate your opinions.
"1) You are a man. how dare you sit back, like so many fattened beurocrats in DC, and think you have any sort of justification to put mandates on a woman's body, especially her reproductive rights."
Yawwwwwn. You are correct. In order for someone to have an opinion on a subject, they must have first hand experience. My mistake.
"The main reason Clinton, Obama, Ginsburg, etc, etc, etc.... were all against this ban is because they are humble enough to recognize that these health-related issues should be decided by trained professional and not some politico whose main influence is religion and partisanship."
Funny you say that as each of these candidates endorse a Federal take-over of the health care system. Boy, talk about politicans having their hands in health-related issues then!
"I'm sorry you'd rather give up your life to birth a motherless child, but count me out."
I'm so sick of this "life of the mother" argument. What makes her life any better or more important than the life of the child she is having partially-birthed and killed? Most women I have met would sacrifice themselves in a heartbeat for the life of their child. However, you pro-death people seem to miss that point as you stand on your soapbox and declare your importance.
