Nice try, BUT they always could have had a medically approved Abortion, this just stops the fucking Liberal Euthanasia squads, from attempting to abort at will fort a Profit!

It cuts down on IRRESPONSIBLE sex of your Sodom and Gamorrah crowd and Planned Parenthood should be getting FURTHER cuts in Fed support.they didn't deserve in the first place!

Ginsberg acted real dignified, likwe a little ACLU whore and Hillary style asshole!

CRY you wimpy fucking Liberals, as that is just a step back into driving your asses underground or out of America!

Since I also supported the courts decision, allow me to immediately seperate myself from this disgusting and pointlessly insulting post; I would hate to find myself mentally included in the same group as this.

although i am pro choice

i think this is a sound decision.....and i dont see how anyone can think partial birth abortion is a good thing

It's never a necessary procedure to save the life of a mother. That's a complete frabrication from the pro-death crowd.

THIS IS REAL HOPE AND CHANGE!

Which is just another way of saying congress substituted their own judgement for that of the doctors.

That is exactly why this is now an issue energizing the pro-choice side.
It will be seen as a probing attack on ROE, and the appointment of another justice or two could move the court to where ROE is either overturned or gutted.

This issue was almost completely in the background in 2000 and 2004 for pro-choice voters, I think this moves it into the foreground in 2008.

"Substituted the own judgement"? They certainly used their own judgement; that's their job: to use their judgement and create laws. That they listened to the testimony of an entire parade of medical professionals is right and proper. But in the end, it's the legislature that has to make the call on matters of law; not the doctors.

I can only think of two alternatives here:
Either (1) we forbid that congress pass any law keeping any doctor from doing anything because, after all, the doctors judgement is better than congress'. Or (2) we declare that a group of unelected doctors should henceforth make all the laws relating to doctors.

I have another alternative. We stop voting for people who write laws that address style and ignore substance. This law will not prevent one single abortion. But it was politically expedient and gave the appearance of caring about the unborn so the medical realities were unimportant as far as congess was concerned.

Justice Ginsburg read a summary of her dissent from the bench when the decision was handed down. This little piece gives a capsule view of that summary.Here is a transcript of the entire summary

The decision also contains an interesting warning from the furthest reaches of the right wing. Justices Thomas and Scalia wrote a concurring opinon which stated their belief that Justices Alito and Roberts did not join that concurrence but I personally believe they would not have been appointed if they did not feel the same way.

other than the death penalty, i can think of no one single issue that polarizes so distincly. there does seem to be a bit more grey in abortion debates though. zealot pro-choicers would tell you i can do any damned thing i want with my body and to hell with anyone telling me otherwise. equally zealot pro-lifers would have a child of 14, raped by her uncle, carry a pregnancy to it's conclusion. then there's a lot of us in the middle...the grey.....

....i'm pro-choice. mostly because it's none of my business. i could make a weak argument that if i'm the father, i get a say....but what if i'm the uncle that rapes? being the rookie here, i've no way of knowing, but my trick knee tells me there are few if any women here offering a perspective that none of us fate-determining males could possibly give.

but there's that grey area. the free thinkers like dilettante. the ones that call bullshit when they see it.

i happen to agree with the court's decision as well. partial birth abortion does seem barbaric to me. but, then again, what of the grey area of extreme retardation? or the saving the mother's life situation? one size shouldn't fit all.

(oh....and this is directed to no one else but jerry.....i'd point you to george carlin's view about this issue......."did you ever notice that the people that are so radically opposed to abortion you wouldn't want to fuck anyway?)

s, pro-choice, pro-court

Well murderers probably think abortion is a pretty good thing.

Varus

I don't see this as a problem. All this ruling do is affirm the original intent of Roe v Wade decision which actually placed restrictions on 2nd and third trimester pregenacies.

That is a strawman bordering on oxmoronism.

Typical how liberals constantly miss the point, whether you think their SHOULD be a constitutional right to an abortion is completely irrelevant to whether or not there IS ONE. There isn't, abortion, like most other issues of public policy is left by the constitutition to the people to settle through their democratically elected representatives. Don't like it? Don't bitch about judges accurately reading and applying the law (in this case the Constitution), bitch to your representative to CHANGE the law (in this case, by Amendment)

Whether you support this decision or not, we should have seen this coming when the law suits were filed. The very same arguements were rejected by every court in the land two years ago and again by all the courts this time including appelate courts in three states until it got to this revamped supreme court. This is nothing else but Roberts and especially Alito paying off their benefactor in putting them on the Court. no sane person will deny that these guys had to promise this vote to George II before their nomination was announced. Of course he did not ask them personally how they would vote on this matter but his staff sure as hell did. Now all we, and especially all women, can only wait for the other shoe to drop and hope that one of these neocons drops dead real soon after the next election.
