The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a law banning a method used in some mid-term abortions. Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said the government cannot prohibit all abortions but that it "may use its voice and its regulatory authority" to discourage women from terminating pregnancies. Kennedy also noted that there were other ways doctors could perform the mid-term abortions and that they were not entitled to "unfettered choice in the course of their medical practice." What do you think of the high court's decision?..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
We wonder why the rest of the world abhors ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />America. One of the reasons is they fear our overindulgence and self indulgence. Abortion is a question of convenience, not of choice. How could any civilized nation consider legalizing a procedure where a near viable fetus (baby in my world) is pulled partially from a mothers womb up to its neck (once the head comes out the doctors are obligated to save its life) and then, as quoted in the Los Angeles Times "doctors collapse the fetus' skull, or drain its content, to permit its removal?" Have you ever seen an abortion through an ultrasound? I have. It is horrid. The child I saw actually tried to get away from the device that was trying to suck its limbs off. I am sorry to be so graphic, but this is awful stuff. This procedure, D & E is its quaint name, is used on infants far younger than those attacked during the D & X procedure ruled on today.
My goal though is not to win the hearts of our legislators because I don't believe morality can be legislated. My goal is to catch one rain drop at a time and give it hope that one day it too can be a rainbow again.
