Because Not Enough Has Been Said About It...

On Wednesday, April 18th, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of 3 lower courts that the Partial Birth Abortion ban signed by President Bush was unconstitutional. This means that a decision that was made years ago will finally be put into affect. Praise be to God!

Although if you were to ask the opponents to the reversal, they would say that our country has just denied 30 years of progress and that those of us who are against partially delivering a baby for the purpose of killing it, are against the mother's health. What I found very interesting is that the PBA ban does have a clause stating that if the mother's life is in danger, they can still perform the abortion. What the opponents don't like is that it's not general enough. They want the ban to state that abortions can be done if the mother's health is at risk. They would prefer it to be open so that they could define health a lot of ways...emotional, physical, mental. However, with this ban, they don't have that freedom. It's only allowed to save the mother's life.

I know I wish that they would just ban all abortions, but I feel like this is a great day in the history of America. I'm sure it won't be enforced easily or for too long before being sent back to into the court system for another 2 years, but if we can save the life of a few babies (and save the life of their mothers...why would we want to put that guilt upon their heads?) than the work of so many fighters for justice will have been worth it.

Lord have mercy...on America and her children of all ages.
