Senator Cites Abortion Ruling Side by Side With VT Tragedy

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) on Wednesday listed the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a ban on “partial birth abortions” along with the killing of 32 people at Virginia Tech, in describing what she called a hard and emotional week.
“I know this is a very hard and emotional week given everything that’s happened,” Boxer said at the opening of a speech on global warming in Washington, D.C. She then listed “continuing violence in Iraq … the accident that our good, dear friend Gov. Corzine is suffering from, the Virginia Tech tragedy … and today a Supreme Court decision that I believe endangers women’s health.”

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a federal ban on the abortion procedure also called intact dilation and extraction. Pro-life activists characterize the procedure, in which a baby is partially delivered before being killed, as gruesome.
Opponents of the federal ban criticize its lack of a provision that would allow the procedure in cases where the pregnancy endangers the mother’s health. The ban does allow for the procedure in cases that risk the mother’s life.
Boxer was among 34 senators who voted against the ban when it was passed in 2003. She has been a staunch supporter of abortion rights, earning a 100 percent “pro-choice” rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America in 2006.
OH and this yo-yo jerk Obama
Boxer’s colleague, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) came under fire earlier this week for comparing the violence at the Blacksburg, Va., college campus to the “verbal violence” of radio shock jock Don Imus, who was recently fired for using denigrating comments about a women’s basketball team.
Wild Thing’s comment……
Between Boxer and Obama as he tied the shootings to the Imus flap. OMG they just can’t help themselves!!! They are freaks of nature walking the face of this earth. These people have no values, no moral compass, no ethics and no integrity. What scares me is that people actually vote for evil people like Boxer.
Don Imus did not create this monster. Society did not create this monster.
This monster at VT created himself.
I feel for his family–how tragic that they
didn’t recognize their son had a problem.
But I don’t blame them either. He was given
chance to get help and he blew it.
Boxer and Obama should be ashamed of themselves. But it’s always blame someone else. No wonder kids of today have no remorse in doing something violent or bad. They’ve never faced any consequences for their actions.
Lynn – The monster at Va Tech was a demon that even satan could be proud of. Someone said on the Trinity Broadcast Network that today’s ‘Culture of Death’ embraces evil, IS evil, and this evil is even admired! Look at the evil that is on television and listen to the evil that’s on the air waves and in the lyrics of gangster rap, hip hop and heavy metal!
Where did the ‘Supremes’ find the language in the constitution that gives a Woman the right to kill her unborn baby anyway.
I have read the constitution cover to cover many times and I as dumb, hayseed, Redneck can not find it anywhere.
It is said they found it in the Penumbra of the constitution, I even looked up the word Penumbra, so I looked at the perimeter of the document turned it upside down and I couldn’t find anything that said, ‘murdering ones unborn child’ was a constitutional Right.
I have also read where the founders and the writers of the constitution wrote it so that even I could understand it. That said, then where did the ‘Supremes’ come up with this convoluted Right.
Do lawyers take courses in Creative Comprehension and Interpretation,(CCI-101) because that would seem to be the only way to come up with such a distorted view of what the document actually says.
Now to compare the Slaughter of the VT students, by a Madman, to Enforcing the ban on Partial Birth abortions as being equivalent is total non-sense.
Einstein’s ‘Twin Paradox problem’ is easier to understand that the logic of Boxer and O’Bama. And O’bama is running for president ? All of these supposed enlightened Liberal Lawmakers should be forced to watch one Partial Birth Abortion before opening their ‘Pie-hole’ and spouting this garbage.
I am now totally convinced the Dems are completely evil and have no chance at redeeming themselves ever.
Lynn, yes no responsibility for their actions. They are trying to blame guns and you name it but we have seen this before too.
Mark, I agree, the dems have gone so far to the left they are off the edge.
