It is so good to know that morality still exists somewhere in this world where evil seems to penetrate everything.

At least on this one issue, on this one vote, you are right. But overall the Court's record isn't too good. Time will tell.

Do you think murder is an evil act? Do you need religion to tell you that murder is an evil act? Your contention that "there is no evil without religion" seems a bit trite and is not a very original thought.

Yeah the guys who led the Inquisition, the crusades and the burn of witches were also moral giants.

No, what theido is saying, if you remove evil from the picture, then good also disappears. There is a law, just as real as gravity, that if there is one force, there must be an opposite force, similar to what Newton described. Each action has an equal and opposite reaction. Sometimes those forces and actions are described as feelings, attitudes, orientations, or other characteristics.
Therefore, is you so succinctly put, removing God and religion would also remove the Devil, removing all aspects of life and death, pleasure and pain, hope and despair, leaving nothing.
And you automatically assume you have the trump on wisdom. Nice.

Not unlike the evil people that want to force their political ideology upon others through government intervention. Isn't that how all people attempt to use any government?

You are so wrong on your thinking. Partial birth abortions are murder. Do you have children? From your comments I would guess that you don't. My first son was born 3 months early this was almost 14 years ago. Today he alive and well so to say that Abortion is about religion is wrong. I would also bet that you are against the death penalty too. How is it the fault of the baby that a man and a woman decided to sleep together and not use protection. These people made a choice to tango and now they should live up to their resposibility of making a child. In the animal kingdom if the female gets pregnat she doesn't go down and have an abortion she has to give birth and take care of them. The people have a choice to have sex and protect themselves and if they don't they should have to own up to what they have done. That's the problem with people today they don't own up to what they have done.

If you do not like killing fetuses, then you should not like killing people in war. That should be heinous. You should also not like executing people for crimes. That should also be heinous. What is so amazing to me is that these same individuals who cry over unwanted fetuses want to kill Iraqis in war. They also want to kill criminals, and see the prison system as some sort of revenge. I say killing Iraqis is wrong and so is capital punishment. For that matter I don't eat meat either.

Have you ever taken an ethics class? Or do you just parrot "right" and "wrong", "good" and "evil" what your brainwashed childhood programmed in you?

"PBA's (fake fundy term)"
Cry me a river. it's a term of art in politics to be sure, but so is just about every other term in politics. That's how the system works, and all political parties do it. The procedure PBA describes is real, so focus on that.
"are .04 of 1% of all abortions and almost 100% performed to save the life of the mother."
Then you have no complaint, since the law in question makes an exception where the life of the mother is in danger.

What????
Where did that come from?
1) C-sections are not used as a form of abortion, it is for a live delivery in case the child is in distress (as for one of my children) or if vaginal delivery would be a danger for the child or mother. (std's are the prime cuplrit here but sometimes a womans pelvis is not designed for vaginal delivery) And, in rare cases, as a time saver. (Come in at 2pm and have baby at 2:30 pm as opposed to hours of difficult labor,)
2) Many woman who have had a c-section for one child have been able to a normal vaginal delivery for subsequent children. It depends on if they had to have a radical emergency c or simple bikini cut. Each person heals differently.

You sound like Sean Insanity. The medical responsibility act signed by then Gov. George W. Bush has executed yet another child for being born with a horrible birth defect. The law allows the hospital to decide when a child or adult should be unplugged. The family has no input. About two weeks ago another child was unplugged. This brave decision by the court will mean nothing once parents go to Texas to birth their child. The very small number of times this procedure is done people are having catastrophic issues with the fetus they are carrying. Texas will be a magnet for people who can't afford to care for children born with unsolvable defects that without extreme medical intervention will die.

The baby's head is withdrawn from the uterus. The skull is smashed with forceps and the brains are sucked out.
Why is stopping this a bad thing?

Bush said that it affirms the progress his administration has made to defend the "sanctity of life."
"I am pleased that the Supreme Court has upheld a law that prohibits the abhorrent procedure of partial birth abortion," he said. "Today's decision affirms that the Constitution does not stand in the way of the people's representatives enacting laws reflecting the compassion and humanity of America."
WHAT someone should let him know that the children and women in Darfur and Iraq are humans also? How about his violation of their "sanctity of life." Or maybe it doesn't matter they are meaningless in the grand scheme of things?
This pathetic hypocrite!!!

Have we invaded Darfur?
While I agree that the Bush needs to do something in Darfur as opposed to following Clinton's lead (or, lack thereof, 800,000 die while the Clinton administration argues the difference between the phrases 'genocide' and 'genocidal acts' - he didn't have a major war going on at the time and plenty of resources to commit) in Rwanda in 1994 (Watch the movie, "Sometimes in April"), it doesn't compare to the issue in Iraq. There is not genocide going on in Iraq like in Darfur now or Rwanda then.
