Re: Supreme Court upholds Partial Birth Abortion Ban

Dilettante,

If I was wrong and you still profess that it is the method which you find appalling and not the term of pregnancy/stage of fetus development, which method of abortion would you prefer?

In all cases in which the fetus is other than dead inside the womb, it is still alive prior to any abortion method.

You need to be honest with yourself, it is either abortion itself which you oppose or, as I stated, some stage of pregnancy at which you begin to view the fetus as a life to be protected.

If you can state unequivically that any specific abortion method should be banned outright because of what happens to the fetus, then you must state that all abortion methods should be banned. Otherwise you are hypocritical.

This is the problem with what the Supreme Court has just ruled. If the fetus is a life to be protected, the judgement, if it is honestly argued, should be to protect all life. In which case, the argument of abortion would be definitively answered.

This judgement intentionally skirts the issue.

Platitudes like the one you offer are no different - and no less incorrect - than the jackass part-time Christian who says, "I'm going to heaven because I'm nice to people." It so misses the point.~Impugn
