After years of experiencing defeats in judicial abortion cases, yesterday's Supreme Court ruling upholding a federal ban on partial birth abortion is exceptionally satisfying. It's good that a bare majority of Supreme Court justices had the intellectual sagacity and moral discernment to uphold some restrictions on abortion. It's especially delightful to hear abortionists and their apologists wail and gnash their teeth over this important verdict. The Court's detailed description of the gruesome nature of partial birth abortion is particularly informative and should serve a useful pedagogical purpose for individuals who have a view of abortion as a "sanitized" clinical procedure.
It's to early to say if this will result in the overturning of the intellectually vacuous and morally abominable Roe vs. Wade. The abortionists and their useful idiots will fight even more ferociously now that their talisman of a "woman's right to choose" has been dealt a intellectual body blow by yesterday's ruling. This ruling does, however, make it possible to believe that we could see the joyous day when Roe vs. Wade is relegated to the dustbin of history like the Dred Scott decision. It's vitally important that we elect a conservative pro-life President in 2008 and a Congress that is committed to pro-life positions.
