Colorado Springs, Colo. – Focus on the Family Action Chairman James C. Dobson, Ph.D., issued the following statement today in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling upholding the federal Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act:
“We thank God that the Supreme Court has affirmed the value of human life by banning the Nazi-esque barbarism that is partial-birth abortion. A majority of justices have recognized what most Americans have long known: there is no constitutional right to slay a healthy, nearly-born baby by stabbing it in the back of the head and vacuuming out its brains – all without even anesthetizing the child.
“Today’s ruling ends more than a decade of effort by the pro-life community to ban this assault on mother and child. We applaud the court for joining President Bush and Congress in declaring that a civilized society does not condone such compassionless and hideous acts against human beings.”
