Definitely not very surprising if anyone had been following the brief. Even the analyst on FOX noted that if the conservative judge had not died it would not have made a difference.

Bunch of judges are now accessories to murder.
Get a rope.

I'm of the strong conviction that people shouldn't be allowed to kill babies just because they haven't come out yet.

That said, many people find themselves stuck in bad places, where they are faced with either the prospect of a socially-approved murder vs. dealing with the difficult realities of parenthood. It's a no-win situation.

I have no solution, but to me it is more of a personal problem, a family problem, or a community problem, not a government problem. If the government allows abortions, or if the government restricts access to abortion clinics in unreasonable ways, either way, the government is overstepping its bounds.

How about adoption as an option?

Agree with all of what you said.

In other news.....the words Personal and Responsibility removed from the dictionary.

What Chew said!

How about adoption as an option?

Agreed, that's probably the best option. Anybody checked on the cost of adoption these days? Again, government intrusion has made the cost of a US adoption nearly prohibitive for many well meaning folks. It's a community and family problem, exacerbated by government attempts to help.

From google...

It generally costs from $0 to $1,000 to adopt a child from a County Foster/Adopt program. These children are often older, but sometimes infants are placed. A voluntary adoption of a newborn through a non-profit agency will generally cost between $10,000 and $25,000.

It's not a question of whether the government can restrict abortion or not. Not even the most libertarian folks among us believe that it's wrong to have laws against murdering another person, right? So the real question is this:

Is an unborn baby a human person or not?

Most pro-abortion people dodge that question. They don't want to answer it. They don't want pregnant women to be shown sonogram pictures of their babies. They say that unborn babies are just blobs of tissue (dehumanizing them).

But any honest person has to agree that unborn babies are just as human inside the womb as they are the second they are brought outside the womb. Why is it OK to kill a baby inside the womb for convenience' sake, but it's not OK to kill that baby once he/she is outside the womb?

I'll never understand that.

Government can't possibly fix everyone's problems - even if that was the role of government. Government definitely needs to stay out of people's private lives. But protecting the innocent is the responsibility of government. Beyond that, people need to deal with the consequences of their choices. It's going to be incredibly inconvenient to do so much of the time.

I'm a walking poster child for the alternatives to abortion. My dad was adopted as a baby. We think his birth mother was a young student and his biological father was a college professor. His birth mother gave him up for adoption at birth.

19 years later, I was born about 7 months after my parents got married (at ages 19 and 17). They didn't give me up for adoption, and they didn't kill me. They got married and raised me and my sister, who came along 2 years later. They celebrated their 50th anniversary a few months ago.

Personal responsibility.

It's a sad day when people celebrate the permission from the SCOTUS to kill babies...
I realize that this ruling was regarding the technical aspects of it but it's all the same..

Extremely sad.

I don't get it either Shane...why anyone would rejoice or gloat is hard for me to grasp.

On one hand a pregnant mother can get killed by drunk driver & people want to call it a double murder, and then look at the same baby in a whole other matter as not having any value??
