just kill it first, then it's okay

All I'm going to say about the travesty SCOTUS handed down is this:

It ain't about "babies". It's about control.

This is from the majority opinion (emphasis mine):

Other considerations also support the Court's conclusion, including the fact that safe alternatives to the prohibited procedure, such as D&E, are available. In addition, if intact D&E is truly necessary in some circumstances, a prior injection to kill the fetus allows a doctor to perform the procedure, given that the Act's prohibition only applies to the delivery of "a living fetus," 18 U. S. C. ยง1531(b)(1)(A). Planned Parenthood of Central Mo. v. Danforth, 428 U. S. 52, 77-79, distinguished.

It's about letting Congress make medical decisions for the whole country based on what they think is "gruesome".
