Partial quote (i.e. lead graphs) from Washington Post alert I found a minute ago.
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court upheld the nationwide ban on a controversial abortion procedure Wednesday, handing abortion opponents the long-awaited victory they expected from a more conservative bench.
The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

Is this great news or what!?

I heard this this afternoon, and while thinking about what exactly it is, I became physically ill. There is just no excuse for PBA whatsoever.

The 5 in favor are Catholic! Did you know Clarence Thomas converted after being appointed to the Supreme Court? I heard it was Scalia who helped him on his journey.
PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD!
Because of their decision the lives of 3-6000 innocent lives will be saved each year!!

Deb,
Was Clarence Thomas an Evangelical Christian prior to converting to Catholicism?

Thomas was, if I recall, unchurched in his early childhood. Then he attended a Catholic school (orphanage) and eventually became Catholic. He entered a seminary to study for the priesthood, but the prejudice he met with there embittered him, and he left the Church. He spent some decades wandering through several denominations, eventually joining Charismatic Episcopal Church (a recent start-up with no direct connection with Anglicanism except the use of the Book of Common Prayer). After his appointment to the Supreme Court, he quietly returned to the Catholic Church.

Clarence Thomas:
Raised Roman Catholic (he later attended an Episcopal church with his wife, but returned to the Catholic Church in the late 1990s), Thomas considered entering the priesthood, attending St. John Vianney's Minor Seminary on the Isle of Hope near Savannah, and he briefly attended Conception Seminary College, a Catholic seminary in Missouri. Thomas told interviewers that he left the seminary (and the call for priesthood) after hearing racist comments there following the assassination of Martin Luther King.
