It is all in the wording
When it comes to abortion, of course.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court's conservative majority upheld a nationwide ban Wednesday on a controversial abortion procedure in a decision that sets the stage for additional restrictions on a woman's right to choose.
Hmmmm. Or I suppose some could say that this sets the stage for additional protections for the rights of the unborn. We should certainly consider them to be "human" and treat them as "life" when they reach an age where they can survive outside the womb. That's about 22 weeks (in one of the most extreme cases), if I recall correctly. Why wouldn't you consider elective abortion to be murder after that? As for the "right to choose", I'd say that if you haven't made a choice to terminate by the fifth month then subconsciously at least you've decided to keep it (or give it up for adoption).
I wonder how our society would be graded by the standard that we are judged on how we treat the weakest members of our society?
Maybe we should start calling the unborn "illegal immigrants". At least they'd have more rights than they do now.
Edit: The procedure in question only accounts for about 2200 out of 1+ million abortions annually. That's less than 0.2%.
Edit: Dear Liberals: abortions have not been "banned". A dead baby/fetus is not affected by this law. Please, stop getting hysterical and study the facts before you rant.
