We here at Mod-Blog have applauded the Supremes' decision to uphold the Partial Birth Abortion ban, while maintaining that philosophically abortion should be placed back in the hands of the states rather than being a Federal issue. Overall, most of the reaction I have heard has been positive, but apparently the Justices who voted to uphold the ban are being attacked by the insinuation they only did so because they are Catholic. I have not read the various attacks on this basis, but as a Protestant I need to tell these critics that it is possible to think this decision is a good idea without being Catholic! I think that I hold a reasoned, considered opinion about abortion and especially partial birth abortion, which I believe I would hold even if I were an atheist.
Too bad. But ever since I first spoke up as Pro-Life in high school, most of my arguments with the other side wound up with them calling me names or spouting unreasoned, unexamined assumptions. I am told that is the experience of logical reasoned people on the Pro-Choice side, as well. Apparently, the vast majority can't talk about this issue without resorting to pure emotion. I am glad the Justices seem to NOT be cut from that cloth.
