WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court upheld the nationwide ban on a controversial abortion procedure Wednesday, handing abortion opponents the long-awaited victory they expected from a more conservative bench.

Yes!

5-4 decision. These decision are just too close. This is why it’s so important we nominate a conservative for president in 08 and not compromise on a moderate or liberal just because they are more popular with the media.

Unfortunately, it will take a lot more than this one instance to convince me that Kennedy has changed. Important to note that this decision outlaws a procedure, and not the overall “right” to have an abortion.

Still, another chip in the armor.

The opinion on this one will be interesting. Did Kennedy write for the majority?

Hurray!!!!

We can thank the Presient for his SC appointees!

But 5-4 is still too close, we need a couple more.

This is why we need a TRUE, PRO-LIFE PRESIDENT! No pretender will do, and certainly NOT a pro-abortion president.

Rudy Giuliani will NOT cut it!
