"There is no justification for taking a baby's life just because the head has not come out of the womb," said former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.  "Any decent, sensible person can understand that, and the court should too.  There is no way to say that life begins when the head comes out. That baby is alive, and to say that partial-birth abortion prohibition is unconstitutional is simply to dispute logic and reason."

Ever heard of the term "bite the bullet"?  During the Civil War when a soldier's mangled limb had to be amputated and the painkillers and whiskey had run out, medics placed a soft-lead bullet between the patient's teeth. It made amputation a little easier to "bite the bullet" instead of lying on the table screaming bloody murder. Today if a combat medic in Iraq used that gruesome procedure on an 'enemy combatant' and succeeded in saving his life the liberal media would insist the jihadist was tortured and call for an investigation!  The media's indignation would echo around the world!  (No doubt liberals would demand that the medic go through sensitivity training.  And, of course, it would be all George Bush's fault.)

How does the liberal media react when a Federal court judge strikes down the Constitutional ban on the uncivilized partial-birth abortion procedure? They praise the gods, clink their glasses together and celebrate another victory.   

In the old west if a baby had been partially delivered then clobbered with a mallet, the killer would have been given a speedy trial and taken to the nearest tree and promptly hanged.  And the punishment would have fit the crime.  Back then folks knew right from wrong.  They also knew a thing or two about justice.  When someone decided to commit a heinous crime, they could expect to pay dearly for it.  "Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him" (Leviticus 24:20). 

Today in our frivolous throwaway culture an abortion doctor will spend his day killing babies without one speck of guilt.  At 6:00 PM the doc will hop in his BMW and head to Starbucks for a Grande non-fat Caffè Latte, extra foam, and a biscotti.  What a life!
