supreme court gets it right

I am so overwhelmed this morning by the news from Washington, DC -- the Supreme Court has upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush in 2003.

After years of tyrannical lower-court judges trying to legislate from their benches in striking down this law because they're in the pockets of Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and other such atrocious organizations, the Supreme Court had the final word this morning. The right word. Namely, that this procedure is discpicable and inhumane and absolutely unnecessary.

I will spare you the horror of reading about the details of this procedure here, but I encourage all of you to read the Supreme Court's decision for yourselves, and tell me if you've ever read a better description of premeditated murder.

I am so thankful for the intelligent men appointed to our nation's highest court who had the wisdom to stand up today for common sense, morality, and the sanctity of human life. The battle is not over, but it is a tremendous step forward. The naysayers can yelp as much as they want about "established precedent of the Court," but that is really just the ignorant assumption that the Court can never be wrong, that once it makes a decision it must stick with it forever. If that were the case, then slaves would still be considered as property, not people (Dred Scott v. Sanford, 1857), and segregation would still be legal (Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896). But just as these decisions were reversed by later Courts, I pray that our current Supreme Court members will have the courage to overturn the most vile, dispicable mistake their predecessors ever made... Roe v. Wade.
