Abortion ban passes....

Sometimes I see this as a continuation of the centuries-long battle between secularism and superstition. You know, the same battle that claimed Galileo as a victim and kept us believing the sun rotated around the earth for a few hundred years longer?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 — The Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved the first federal ban on a specific abortion procedure, ending eight years of divisive debate and clearing the way for President Bush to sign the measure into law.

Both sides declared the 64-to-34 vote a historic turning point in a controversy that has split Americans for decades, ever since the Supreme Court established a constitutional right to abortion in the case of Roe v. Wade 30 years ago.

Of course President Bush is salivating to sign the bill, calling it, "very important legislation that will end an abhorrent practice and continue to build a culture of life in America."

Gag.

Our hopes lie in the Supreme Court now.

Yep, the same court that appointed Bush some two years ago.
