For the first time ever, the Supreme Court has upheld a ban on a specific type of abortion:
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 read the first part of the article and thought to myself... wow. Then I read this:
The procedure at issue involves partially removing the fetus intact from a woman's uterus, then crushing or cutting its skull to complete the abortion.Abortion opponents say the law will not reduce the number of abortions performed because an alternate method - dismembering the fetus in the uterus - is available and, indeed, much more common.
Yeah. Some victory. I'm sorry... but what doctor would do either of those procedures? I'm having a hard enough time keeping down my breakfast after reading that.
