The Georgia state legislative committee voted to table HR 536, the GA Human Life Amendment. This means a vote on it has indefinitely postponed...and not a moment too soon.
It is not against pro-life principles to be against a state human life amendment at this juncture. Consider that the GA committee chairman said that the proposed amendment "[sought] to make a direct attack on Roe v. Wade." Simply based on observations like this, the US Supreme Court could easily strike the state amendment down based on passed precedence. The amendment is crafted specifically to attack Roe and meant to place a significant obstacle in the way of women seeking an abortion. Those aren't necessarily bad things, but they will create a judicial precedent used to kill federal Human Life Amendment.
I know Georgia Right to Life had supported the amendment, but neither National Right to Life nor the Catholic Bishops did. It may be that the state group needed to give support in order not to offend their members, but it certainly shows a lack of understanding. But that's just me.

breathing new life into pro-life blogging, keeping it honest, and keeping a sense of humor...'cause, people, blogs are digital gossip!
Here's Why
The blogosphere is composed of nonsense and probably also some inert gases. Nonsense like bashing pragmatism, calculation, expedience, or expertise...that's just no good at all, especially for the pro-life movement.
