Comments on: Today at the Supreme Court http://generationsforlife.org/2006/1108/today-at-the-supreme-court/ Weblog of the Pro-Life Action League's Youth Outreach Division Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:49:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Rosie http://generationsforlife.org/2006/1108/today-at-the-supreme-court/#comment-11432 Rosie Fri, 10 Nov 2006 15:55:20 +0000 http://generationsforlife.org/2006/1108/today-at-the-supreme-court/#comment-11432 MK, Health of the mother, to them, can mean so many things. They go so far as to consider her emotinal well being as "health of the mother". The intent is always to kill the baby in those cases. It is like what Bill Clinton tried pulling, "what does "it" mean". I guess they are supposed to sound intelligent, whoever plays with words the best wins. Can you imagine them talking to God like that when they are trying to answer him when he asks why they didn't protect his little ones? "Well, some are bigger than others, so do you mean in terms of the smallest of the small babies?" Can you imagine? To be a fly on the wall then.... MK,

Carhart (the first of the two cases) is available here [PDF]. **UPDATE: 11/8, 3:07pm: Transcript of Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood (the second case) is available here [PDF]. I'm curious. If the argument goes that it would be dangerous to perform a D&E on a woman when the goal was to perform a D&X, due to complications like bleeding, perforated uterus, etc., why are all of those things considered safe when the intent was to performm a D&E. I mean do the dangers only suddenly appear when the intent changes. They use the safety issue to play both sides. The whole thing is going to give me nightmares. Also, the judges kept talking about pre-viability vs viablility. But they seem to believe that viablility is after 26 weeks. We know that babies survive as early as 19 weeks. And they took it as gospel that they don't feel pain until 20 weeks. Where did they get that info? Why don't they ask whether or not an attempt can be made to save the child after it is delivered intact, alive? Or ask why it has to be killed in order to spare the woman? And why do they keep saying it's between a doctor and her patient, when the doctor only exists to perform abortions. By their own admission hospitals won't do these. So their "doctors" must not be their regular ob-gynies. Can't the judges see that they are being duped? When asked why hospitals won't perform these "operations" the other side just sort of stumbled but never really answered the question. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep posting the links so I can continue to follow the arguments...as long as I can stomach them anyway. MK JOHN,

I lover that line about apologizing to sodom and gommorah. I guess today is a new day. I'll just have to shake off the blues and trust that God has a plan. What it is, I can't fathom, but there you have it. Somehow, he'll turn this to good. On the romancatholic blog that shows that priest having the sacreligious mass on halloween they now show him refusing to give a woman communion because she is kneeling. He actually pulls her to a standing position and chastises her for daring to kneel. If this can go on in our own churches, how can we expect the rest of the world to "get it"? I remember when I was younger and one of my siblings would do something to make my dad angry, and how much I hated not be able to "fix" it. You knew he wasn't mad at you but he was still slamming doors and you knew to stay out of his way. I picture God (the father) right now. So angry, and there is nothing we can do to help. Our siblings have really made Him mad, Our Mother is trying to calm Him down, but what can we really do? You don't really want Him to get the belt and teach your brother or sister a lesson, but your brother or sister just keep doing the same stupid behavior over and over. You keep wondering how far your brother and sister can push Him before He blows and you feel so helpless... Mercy. Justice. Mercy. Justice. Mercy. God help this very broken world... MK Mike,
