Today the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a law that bans partial-birth abortions. I’m simply amazed at the range of reactions politicians have taken on this issue.
Before I get to those, let me ask this question: What does it say about our society when people defend a woman’s right — a right? — to kill their unborn child? It’s truly sad, is what I say.
That’s not a right, pure and simple. I know for every person you find who disagrees with that, you’ll find another who does. It’s just how I feel.
True, we’ve been spoon-fed into thinking it’s about personal choice, that a woman’s “right” is more important than a human life. But what it really comes down to is convenience — the convenience of removing a responsibility so that we, as a society, can carry on with our lives, quite possibly repeating our behavior to make the same choice over and over.
Here are the reactions for the presidential candidates we’ll be seeing and hearing more of throughout the year:
I strongly disagree with today’s Supreme Court ruling, which dramatically departs from previous precedents safeguarding the health of pregnant women.
The Supreme Court reached the correct conclusion in upholding the congressional ban on partial birth abortion…
It is precisely this erosion of our constitutional rights that I warned against…
Today, our nation’s highest court reaffirmed the value of life in America by upholding a ban on a practice that offends basic human decency.
I’m very happy about the decision given my position on abortion.

Partial-birth abortion is something so heinous that no one I know would subject their PET to it. If any veternarian suggested it for a person’s pet, they would snatch their pet up and run, not walk, out of that office.
This kind of abomination is only reserved for human babies. And this particular procedure is nothing short of murder. The baby is delivered within an inch of being born, how can ANYONE justify killing it at that point. It has nothing to do with the health of the mother at this point in any way, shape or form. We’re talking a matter of seconds between ‘abortion’ and ‘infanticide’ until this ruling was upheld! I thank God for the new Justices that wrote the opinion and stopped this tragedy…
Mother Teresa said “But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child – a direct killing of the innocent child – murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?”
And
“Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.”
Well spoken, Joy. Thank you!
Good post. It is very sad and certainly a sign of how our society has degenerated over the years. Yes, a woman does have the right to choose – BEFORE she gets pregnant, not after! Abortion is a symptom of a selfish society rather than a selfless one.
Thank you, Tammara. I like the “BEFORE she gets pregnant, not after.” That sums it up nicely.
