W.P.I.T.W. (Worst Person In The World) weighs in on Scalito
The Confirmation of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court
Wednesday, February 01, 2006
By Bill O'Reilly

Now progress for our people means big changes in society. Ironically, the secular progressive Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco makes my point today. It ruled that the congressional ban on partial birth abortion is unconstitutional.

Remember, Congress has elected to make the laws. And the majority of lawmakers and indeed Americans believe aborting a baby in late term is wrong unless the life of the mother is in danger.

But the Ninth Circuit does not believe that. It believes a baby can be terminated in the womb at any time, for any medical reason, and stated so today. This is a vivid example of judicial fiat, judges, not congress, making the law.

Now Roberts and Alito aren't going to go along with that. And that's why Kennedy and other SPs are so angry. They are losing power in this country, and they know it. And that's "The Memo."

1. Health of the mother
is hardly any medical reason. An infected hang nail is a medical issue but wouldn't get a woman an abortion. O'Reilly is such a twit.

Damn, we've got to get these Repugs out of congress before they do any more damage.

2. I never could understand that partial birth abortion
If the woman's live is at stake cant they just complete the birth and save both? Or, does a woman decide to have the PBA if the baby is brain dead or some other horrible affliction? When would a doctor decite that this procedure is the best?

4. PBA is not a medical term
It's a made-up term by the religiously insane. Not to mention that it's EXTREMELY rare.
