High Court Lets Stand Parental Consent Ruling

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal Monday to reinstate a state law requiring girls under age 18 to get parental consent for abortions except under the most dire of medical emergencies.

Lemme see if I got this straight:
The USSC has decided that teenagers are "mature" enough to get an abortion on their own, but are not to be held accountable-- because they're misguided children--if they commit capital crimes like murder?
I give up (NO, I don't!)
Clearly, the "highest court in the land" wants our teens to be able to get away with murder, be it their own babies or anyone else if they're in a murderous frame of mind while in the meantime, parental authority and the strength of the family is totally undermined.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
(Is it mere coincidence that the mentally disturbed Indian boy went on a shooting rampage at his Minnesota school only a few weeks after the USSC gave teen killers a pass on the death penalty?)
People, we have *got* to rein in the out-of-control judiciary in this country from the local level up to SCOTUS and we need to do it soon before they make even more lunatic decisions like this one and the rulings on poor Terri Schiavo!
