SUPREME COURT'S ABORTION RULING...





The Supreme Court, by ruling against allowing “partial-birth” abortions, has dredged up the never ending abortion argument; once again.

I am getting tired of arguing the issue and have learned that arguing or discussing the issue is impossible; both sides are entrenched.

The fact that our freedoms are at stake means we cannot rest; obviously THEY are not resting.

To me the issue is not about abortion. No one is FOR abortion. It is ALL about CHOICE; our freedom to choose what we want to happen with our bodies, our lives.

In the most basic of terms, I see the product of MY sperm and MY wife’s / HER egg as our creation. If WE made a mistake and did not intend to make the clump of cells that eventually lead to a baby; we have the absolute right to stop the process by removing the clump of cells and disposing of them.

I will quickly add that “oopses” like that should not occur IF you take proper precautions and should not occur but shit happens and anybody that has lived a normal life can appreciate where I am coming from.

I will also add that I am absolutely against using abortion as a means of birth control and I am in favor of educational requirements where people are taught how to take appropriate precautions to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

For this very reason I am vehemently against the Catholic Church’s stance against using any form of birth control or Bush’s plan of teaching ABSTINANCE. A recent study showed how that plan has been a dismal failure. Remember IGNORANCE KILLS!

Getting to the matter at hand, the Supreme Court allowed Congress to ban partial-birth abortions. On the surface this appears a no-brainer. The procedure is vile and any one in their right mind would never allow such a procedure to be performed.

If you inject a little reason and skip the bullshit, the procedure does not exist for the express purpose of mutilating a fetus; it is a surgical procedure designed for a specific purpose when no other procedure will work. Thinking otherwise is totally absurd – think about it!

The actual procedure is performed very rarely and only to save a mother’s life, as far as I know.

Congress has decided that they will step in between a woman and her doctor and tell them what can and cannot be done. To me this should be impermissible. I don’t want some yahoos in Congress interfering in the management of my health.

The Wall Street Journal asks what the hubbub is about – women can still get an abortion only not that one. If so, why are the bozos on the right jumping up and down in joy screaming that this is the first step to banning abortion in this country – back to back alley abortions?

When the Supreme Court allows Congress to dictate what medical procedures can or cannot be performed, we have a problem because it is a slippery slope we are climbing on and things can only go one way.

What can we do?

Make sure the next Supreme Court Justice has a brain and is not pre-programmed to vote only one way.

Make sure we do not elect a president that has been pre-programmed by some group hell bent on changing the world order according to their specifications.

Elect Democrats that are enlightened as far as social issues are concerned but not socialists when monetary policy issues come up.

Confine religion to houses of worship and out of our government; defend our Constitution and what our Founding Fathers created.

A different angle next time…
