9th Circuit Rules Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Unconstitutional

Posted on January 31, 2006

I thought it was Congress job to write laws. Not so says the 9th Circuit! Brutally killing babies by partially removing them from the womb, puncturing their skulls, and sucking their brains out is protected by the Constitution.

The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals became the second federal appeals court in the country to hold the law to be unconstitutional.Source

I’ve said it before, and I say it again…the 9th Circuit needs impeached. Every one of them. Stop legislating from the bench. Uphold the laws, don’t write them.

Federal judges in New York and Nebraska also have ruled the ban unconstitutional. The Nebraska ruling was upheld in July by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Once it gets to the Supreme Court, lets hope the new Conservative makeup slaps it right back down.

As to the first comment, you need to read the opinion. It’s not about saving lives of mothers. It’s about the words “health exception” meaning, to the judges, that it violates the Constitution to regulate between a choice of methods to terminate the unborn.

If a mother’s life was in danger the abortion should have been done before the child was full term. There is no reason to kill a child that is full term and as far as killing a child should not be done after conception except to save the mother’s life or in the case of rape. Any other reason is murder regardless how liberals spin the truth. Where is my haldol is must another moonbat.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a lib, and I know the 9th Circuit is looney. But they had no choice in the matter because of the way the Supremes wrote Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

As long as some numbskull who’s been refused medical licensure in all states but one will testify that partial birth abortion is “sometimes” done to protect the health of the mother, the statute as written is in conflict with Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

It’s the Planned Parenthood decision that needs to be revisited, in light of the new federal legislation. Only the Supremes can do that, and do it they will later this spring.

From Haldol’s Blog -

“The Bible is a pile of [edited]…”

*Note to self - Haldol doesn’t call the Talmud or Koran a pile of [edited]. No, no, no….he don’t wan’t the big, bad ADL, JDL or Islamabama nasties after him.

You must repeat-
It’s ok to trash the bible

You must repeat-
It’s ok to bash white males

Again…..
It’s ok to trash the bible
It’s ok to bash white males

We have a new SCOTUS. Maybe they can finally make sense out of all of this nonsense in re partial birth abortions.

Yes, lets hope the new Supreme Court gets a “good case” where they can really decide on the core issues of abortion. I can’t put myself in a woman’s place vis a vis having a baby. But, my God, if you ever get a reliable eye witness account or see pictures of a partial birth abortion, it will break your heart. I wish I could get those memories out of my mind.

“DeltaFox, you and pappy should see the same neurologist. All religious texts are fundamentally garbage. I shouldn’t need to explicitly say that, because I’m sure you’re aware that the one used to do by far the most damage in the U.S. is the one fundagelical backwater Southern Baptists and everyone like them is always waving around.”

Haldol,

You are finished!

You can laugh at the way we talk, ridicule our politics and ideologies, belittle and demean but you WILL NOT mock our religion!

You have given ample evidence that you are not here to dissent or debate but to disrupt.

I want the name of the condition that would require the cracking of a baby’s head like an eggshell on its way out of the womb in order to save a mothers’ life.

Lobo you make no sense at all. I suggest you go to school so you can explain yourself.

What is it that I didn’t make clear Pappy?
