A glimmer of light in the darkness

With the the tragedy at Virginia Tech, increased violence by terrorists in Iraq, and the ever consistent lies and distortions coming from the American left...we can use some good news; and we got it today.

The US Supreme Court, by a 5-4 margin, ruled in favor of a national ban on infanticide...that brutal procedure called partial birth abortion where a baby is partially given birth to before having his or her head crushed by a "doctor of medicine". Ruling for the ban were Chief Justice John Roberts, new Justice Samuel Alito, Constitution Constructionists Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia and then Justice Anthony Kennedy giving the majority opinion. Justice Kennedy said in his opinion, "Respondents have not demonstrated that the Act, as a facial matter, is void for vagueness, or that it imposes an undue burden on a woman's right to abortion based on its overbreadth or lack of a health exemption." Obviously he was looking at this alleged medical procedure from a legal standpoint rather than a moral issue, but the fact still stands that the lives of children are going to be saved as a result of this decision.

Voting against this decision was the usual suspects of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, David Souter, and John Paul Stevens. In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg shows how much she really doesn't get it by saying, "For the first time time since Roe, the court blesses a prohibition with no exception safeguarding a woman's health." Eve Gartner of Planned Parenthood, who by the way is the largest provide of abortions in the US (which means that they have a financial stake in this) said, "This ruling flies in the face of 30 years of Supreme Court precedent and the best interest of women's health and safety. ... This ruling tells women that politicians, not doctors, will make their health care decisions for them."

When will these people ever admit that they are not looking out for a woman's health? I want to see statistics showing how many abortions take place because the mother's life is in danger in comparison to those who just want to end the pregnancy...in other words, birth control.
How about these statistics, single women are 4 times more likely to have abortions than married women. Maybe this one, of the estimated 3 million single women who become pregnant...half of them will seek an abortion. OK, one more...60% of the women who have had abortions since 2000 had previous abortions. And this is all for the mother's "health"?

Isn't ironic that while those who support killing the unborn and violating that right to life that is promised in the Bill of Rights also want to ban the 2nd amendment's right to gun ownership?

Anyway, thank you Supreme Court for giving us a little glimmer of light in the midst of the darkness.
