Tancredo Applauds Supreme Court Decision to End Late Term Abortions
2003 Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act Upheld
(Washington, D.C.) – Congressman Tom Tancredo (R- CO) rejoiced over today’s Supreme Court decision, ending partial birth abortions. In these abortions, usually performed late in a pregnancy, the infant’s skull is crushed and extracted from the womb.
“Today the Supreme Court put an end to this barbaric practice of infanticide,” Tancredo said. “One can only hope this is the first step towards ending the tragedy of abortions.”
This ruling, won by a 5-4 margin, is the first major victory for pro-life activists since Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito were appointed to the Supreme Court. Both of them voted in the majority, along with Justices Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy.
Congressman Tancredo concluded by saying, “I am pleased the Court has finally begun to address the moral and intellectual travesty of Roe vs. Wade.”
