I appreciate you blogging about this, Matt. I have mixed emotions about the ruling, because on one hand for the first time a specific procedure for abortion has been outlawed, but on the other hand there are 3 or 4 other procedures to take its place. It’s like ruling that it’s inhumane to execute someone by electrocution, so big deal… you can just use lethal injection.
Without question, though, God is a God of life and even a baby step in that direction is a good move.

Heck, I’m still trying to figure out why among the first question the doctors at University of Iowa hospital ask my pregnant wife when she first sets an appointment is if she plans to keep the baby. My, how this world has fallen…

Sometimes I feel like our country is overly concerned with individual rights… and totally in disregard for the individual! Abortion is not only killing a baby, it also has a terrible affect on the mother. It is emotionally and physically detrimental, and no woman comes through it unscathed. It is all around a terrible thing… and I see it as a major weapon of deception for the enemy!

Dan, that is exactly where I broke down as well, and experienced the same emotion…

After just recently seeing the birth of my son, I too was nauseated by the nurses description of the procedure. A couple days ago I was reading that at work and I got to the part about the fingers clenching and unclenching and couldn’t finish. It is one of those things that sends your emotions into a sad rage where you can’t decide about being mad or really sad.

I have a lot more to say, but I’ll just show my political stripes for now and say that everybody that voted for Bush and/or senators committed to confirming judges that are not activists in their rulings should at least feel that their votes saved lives through this ruling, and that those votes have the potential to save many more. I don’t have a great deal of faith in the process, but these kind of rulings keep me from thinking the world has gone too mad. Of course, the fact that at least 4 people out of 9 (much less 300 million) disagree with me is somewhat less encouraging, so my lack of faith seems reasonable.
