Christian Coalition: "Roe v Wade" days are numbered, hallelujah!
Contact: Michele Combs, Christian Coalition of America, 202-549-6257, michele@cc.org

WASHINGTON, April 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christian Coalition of America commends the five justices on the Supreme Court who upheld the ban on the gruesome procedure called partial birth abortion, legislation which passed overwhelmingly in the U.S. Houses of Representatives (281-142) and in the U.S. Senate (64-34.) Over 80% of the American people wanted this barbaric abortion banned and after years of judicial wrangling, the United States Supreme Court finally ended this abomination in America.

Roberta Combs, President of the Christian Coalition of America, said: "With today's Supreme Court decision, it is just a matter of time before the infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 will also be struck down by the court. This is a very historic decision and Christian Coalition of America commends Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito."

2. I hope Bush has appointed his last Justice
Any more openings should be stonewalled until the next prez is sworn in.

Little Boots has no problem stonewalling the end of the war.

20. Congress would also have to vow to take no recesses
between now and 2008.

4. Well, women voted 50/50 Bush/Kerry.
:nopity: I'm not happy about this ruling either. But, elections do have consequences!

We need to find a way to remove John Roberts and Sammy The Bull Scalito from the courts.

6. Without making too specific a comment, I'll just say this:
Scalia is overweight and high strung. You have to have some faith in that.

13. Maybe Pat Robertson's prayer will backfire on him
Remember when he was praying for God to kill supreme court justices? Maybe God will oblige and kill off a conservative justice.

Not that I believe God works that way, but they do.

23. But unfortunately only the good die young
Evil people like Scalia have an unfortunate tendency to live a very long time.

15. I think I remember seeing that more women voted for Kerry than Bush actually
and it was one of the several things which lead me to question how Bush won and to research more into it (and lead me here!)

5. They'll keep trying
We have thousands of hungry kids, kids being killed in drive by's, meth ruining lives around the country and these so called Christians can't find anything wrong except for abortion. What a sad commentary on Christianity, a major reason I gave up on the scam that I know believe it is.

10. Why didn't they notice? It was convenient to ignore it.
> bush wasn't elected -- why did this fact go by unnoticed so often by beltway dems?

It was convenient to ignore that little detail.

Many (most?) of our elected officials, Republican
or Democrat, swish olely to maintain their positions
of power, at any cost to their constituents or the
people as a whole.

8. Oh goodie!
All abortions will stop because everyone will magically abstain until marriage! Just like those "good old days" they love to tell us about when everyone went to church and prayer was in school, hence no pre marital sex ever. Those were the days! :sarcasm:

I guess I better get some of those metal coat hangers in case I get raped if their dream of overturning comes true, I think all I've got are plastic.

12. If R v. W is overturned it will unite progressives like never before
They do not want to overturn it because then it will no longer be a call to action for their side, it will be a call to action for us. They just want to use it as a threat.
The same way that a national draft will end the war in less than a week.

14. There is a part of me that wants to see it overturned.
We would crush the GOP for 2 decades. Then we could write legislation to re-enact roe v. wade. Imagine if they overturned Griswald v. Connecticut? Our children would grow up in a Republican (hate-free) world!

17. Things Have to Get Worse Before They Get…
Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 11:58 AM by AndyTiedye
…really fucking awful.

Did you vote for Nader by any chance?

They DO want to overturn Roe v. Wade because that would energize their nutbar base to go after birth control and Lawrence and everything else.

The 50%(?) of women who voted for Bush** obviously care more about how "manly" Bush** looks in that cowboy suit than they do about their reproductive freedom. :puke:
Well, now we're losing that freedom.

You're wrong about the draft too. The draft allowed the Vietnam war to go on for years. Once they ended the draft, they had to end the war soon after.

18. They call themselves the "culture of life" but worship implements of death
I remember a year or so ago a Minister in Alaska shot in the back and killed two teen age boys that were runniong away from him after he caught them in his church in the early morning hours. The Preacher was not charged with any crime. :shrug: culture of Life indeed..

19. They've been saying this for 27 years since Reagan...Too much money for the republicans
the Jerry Falwells' & fundamentalist and it gets their crazed base out to vote for republicans...no way they want it completely illegal....they could of made it illegal anytime in the past six years...they controlled all three branches of government and the Supreme court....the republicans have far to much to lose if it was made illegal...They get far too many donations and people fired up to vote using the abortion issue.
