Abortion Fight Back in Supreme Court Chief Justice Antonin Scalia repeatedly referred to ``the horror'' of the abortion procedure at issue, which he described as taking ``a living, unborn child'' from the uterus and ``killing that unborn child.'' The Clinton administration is asking the court to strike down Nebraska's law. Partial-birth abortion is not a medical term. Doctors call the method dilation and extraction, or D&X, because it involves partially extracting a fetus, legs first, through the birth canal, cutting the skull and draining its contents. The case is Stenberg vs. Carhart, 99-830.

That is interesting that he's been on the liberal side -- Wouldn't you LOVE to hear what all these people say in their own homes, to their wives, in the dark, about it all? I don't trust those abuse allegations. I think anything like that must be viewed with GREAT suspicion at this point. There is so much invested- emotion and money and politics and probably a lot of egos wrapped up in this now. It has become important to WIN at all costs. What do you think about this request to bring several of Elian's classmates here? At taxpayer expense, I'm sure. I think that's the stupidest thing I ever heard. I just read that it has cost us a million a day to keep order around the Miami house, not to mention the costs for what is to come. Custody should go to the surviving parent. I don't know how our courts can do a very accurate assessment of a home environment a life and a country and a culture away. But with typical American arrogance, I'm sure we think we can. Isn't it funny that here is a father who WANTS to raise his child, when we in America are plagued with fathers opting out of that responsibility in huge numbers? Obviously now Elian is a symbol of much much more for many many people. Dealing with it is no longer a simple application of law, even if it should be.
