Arkansas house GOP leader hails Supreme Court ruling upholding the ban against partial-birth abortions.

by Rep. Johnny Key, Republican Leader Arkansas Republican Caucus: I join conservatives everywhere in hailing today's Supreme Court ruling upholding the ban against partial-birth abortions. Not only is this the correct ruling, it is in touch with the overwhelming majority of Americans that believe partial-birth abortion is reprehensible and must be stopped.

Unfortunately, by their comments today opposing this landmark ruling, Democrat presidential contenders such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards have demonstrated how far out of touch they are with the American people. There is now no doubt that if elected President, these candidates would appoint justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg who refuse to protect innocent life, even in cases as outrageous as partial-birth abortion. "I could not disagree more strongly with today's Supreme Court decision,” Edwards said. “The ban upheld by the Court is an ill-considered and sweeping prohibition that does not even take account for serious threats to the health of individual women.”

Obama stated that he strongly disagrees with the ruling “which dramatically departs from previous precedents safeguarding the health of pregnant women.” “This ruling signals an alarming willingness on the part of the conservative majority to disregard its prior rulings respecting a woman’s medical concerns and the very personal decisions between a doctor and patient,” Obama said.

"This decision marks a dramatic departure from four decades of Supreme Court rulings that upheld a woman's right to choose and recognized the importance of women's health,” said Clinton. “This issue is complex and highly personal; the rights and lives of women must be taken into account.”

These comments demonstrate how top-tier Democrat presidential candidates hide behind the far left’s false arguments about the “health of the mother” and further emphasize how they are out of touch with main stream Americans.
