SCOTUS Upholds “Partial Birth” Abortion Ban

There will be much hyperventilation about this from the absolutists on the abortion issue. The Supreme Court has upheld the ban on so-called partial birth abortions. There should be one fact that we should be able to discuss as adults, however.

This is a barbarous procedure. Regardless of where you stand on abortion, this is an abomination that we, as a society, should not allow. (I am frankly shocked that any doctors in this country agree to perform what is nothing more than the killing of infants. Not embryos, infants.) China routinely forces women to undergo this procedure by all reports. I would rather see this nation hold to a higher standard than that. 

The ruling only addresses this one technique. Other means of abortion are not impacted in any way.

Let the hyperventilation begin.
