...another federal appeals judge decided Congress, which can't balance its checkbook, doesn't get the final word on women's health issues and lifted the ban of partial-birth abortions...the clever name, always NAMES, the right-to-madness-people stuck on it. ...It isn't enough to drive a stake through the Heart of the Christian Nutty Movement...you have stick around lest it twitches every so often. There isn't anyone in the wordl who "likes" abostions or thinks they are a form of pregnancy control and license to fuck carelessly.... There are sound social as well as child welfare AND most important of all, WOMEN'S welfare issues involved...this whole thing has been another free ride into office with the ability to get econimic advantages for intererest groups they could get in no other way than to get slimey "pro-life" skunks elected...the same people who starve to death inncoent children but yearn to save a bundle of mucous...I want to hear them now..."he called LIFE mucous"!!! That's a lot better than calling Iraqi five year-olds the ENEMY!!! another reaffirmation of common human decency...the Lord can fuck off! Judge Stops Partial-Birth Abortion Ban 52 minutes ago Add Top Stories - AP to My Yahoo! By LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK - In a highly anticipated ruling, a federal judge found the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act unconstitutional Thursday because it does not include a health exception. U.S. District Judge Richard C. Casey in Manhattan said the Supreme Court has made it clear that a law that prohibits the performance of a particular abortion procedure must include an exception to preserve a woman's life and health. Casey issued the ruling two months after hearing closing arguments in the case. A San Francisco judge has already declared the 2003 law unconstitutional, and a judge in Lincoln, Neb., is still considering the question. The three judges suspended the ban while they held the trials. The law, signed in November, represented the first substantial federal legislation limiting a woman's right to choose an abortion. Abortion rights activists said it conflicted with three decades of Supreme Court precedent. It banned a procedure that is known to doctors as intact dilation and extraction, but is called "partial-birth abortion" by abortion foes. During the procedure, the fetus is partially removed from the womb, and its skull is punctured or crushed. The judge challenged the conclusion by Congress that there is no significant body of medical opinion that the procedure has safety advantages for women. Casey said the congressional record itself undermined the finding because it included contradictory views, including nine medical associations which opposed the act because they believed the abortion procedure provides safety advantages for some women. In the San Francisco ruling, issued June 1, U.S. District Judge said the act places an undue burden on a woman's right to choose. --------------------- |
