I was under the impression that he was - I guess I was wrong. I don't know where I got that idea from. Thanks for the correction. Andrew Sullivan isn't an atheist?

One little nitpick I have is that Sullivan is actually a Catholic, which makes his highlighting of the issue all the more remarkable.

And I admit; as an American, I have spent much more time studying our courts than yours. Something I should rectify but, y'know, we're pretty lazy too. This isn't a debate for courts now.

Or, the Supreme Court might not take the case; they have the authority to choose which cases they will hear and which they will not. I would hope that they would hear it, but then again, it is staffed by 5 Catholics, 3 Protestants, and a Jew, if I remember right. 8 are men also. We have both advantages and disadvantages over european courts, and this is a definite disadvantage.

Absolutely agree with BlackWizardMagus - that is <b>deeply</b> disturbing. One would think such parents could appeal though, in Britain such a case would probably ultimately go to the European Court of Human Rights, wouldn't the Supreme Court similarly be able to overturn those decisions?

Just lovely. <blockquote>"Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." ~Leviticus 25:10 "Comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, <b>be patient toward all men."</b> ~1 Thessalonians 5:14 "There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?" ~James 4:12</blockquote> I think someone forgot a few bible lessons... Lovely. Just lovely.

I am glad to have heard about it, and I will be sure that anyone I regularly speak with will know about it. The throwback to the dark ages is much more advanced than I thought...
