Irrelevant

George Neumayr on the Partial Birth Abortion knockdown:

[Federal Judge Phyllis] Hamilton was in no mood to implement the Geneva Convention at Planned Parenthood clinics. She "agreed with abortion rights activists that a woman's right to choose is paramount, and that it is therefore 'irrelevant' whether a fetus suffers pain, as abortion foes contend," reported AP.

Would Hamilton find a welcome at the altar rail? Can't say. But her legal reasoning has a friend in Father Drinan. Surely that's relevant.
