Abortion ruling ignores women's health needs
The recent Supreme Court decision on abortion takes the most private and personal medical decisions away from doctors and places them in the hands of politicians. That's why the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other leading medical organizations opposed this ban -- because it doesn't serve the best interests of women's health.
Seven years ago, we had a Supreme Court that struck down a similar ban because of its lack of a health exception. Since then, George W. Bush has appointed two justices to the court who voted to uphold this ban with no exception to protect women's health. We simply cannot afford another anti-choice president who will nominate these types of justices.
Elections matter -- and women's health is counting on a pro-choice president in 2008.

Ms. Butler, it is called radical activist judges/judiciary. And America does not need such. That is unless said activists are making decisions that are pro-family, pro-America, pro-God!
How sad that we have come to partisan courts as well. May we find grace in the time of need.

Partial birth abortion = pro-family, pro-America, pro-God?
Courts have always been partisan.

No, it just doesn't serve the interests of the "Completely Unfettered Abortion Rights At Any Time For Any Or No Reason" crowd.

It doesn't serve the best interest of the abortionist's bank account either.

Hey MEOW! Now that someone has sent it in and it is in print, are you still meowing about it now being true? Didn't think so.
Meow! Good little kitty cat! Got spanked by the N&R, but you're a good little Kitty.
