If you do not have the free acrobat reader, please go to the Adobe website first and download a copy. To translate the legalese of the petition, in 1972 one of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court made an admission in Court that partial-birth abortion "would be homicide". This overlooked admission, made by Justice Thurgood Marshall, was made during oral reargument in Roe v. Wade, years before anyone contemplated partial-birth abortions. Here is an excerpt from the transcript. Attorney Mr. Robert C. Flowers represented the State of Texas. MR. FLOWERS: Here's what 1195 says–provides: "Whoever shall, during the parturition of the mother, destroy the vitality or life in a child in a state of being born, before actual birth and before actual birth–which child would have otherwise been born alive, which–shall be confined to the penitentiary for life, or not less than five years." JUSTICE MARSHALL: What does that statute mean? MR. FLOWERS: Sir? JUSTICE MARSHALL: What does it mean? MR. FLOWERS: I would think that– JUSTICE STEWART: That it is an offense to kill a child in the process of childbirth? MR. FLOWERS: Yes, sir. It would be immediately before childbirth, or right in the proximity of the child being born. JUSTICE MARSHALL: Which is not an abortion. MR. FLOWERS: Which is not–would not be an abortion, yes, sir. You're correct, sir. JUSTICE MARSHALL: It would be homicide. Since a judge determines what has merit in court, then an admission of homicide by a Supreme Court Justice gives legal merit to the expectation that gestational children should be given due process of law to protect them from homicide. For this reason, based on the admission of a Supreme Court Justice, merit is to be found in the seeking of a stay of lethal execution for gestational children. Hence, this explains the legal basis for the petition. Petition     Rules of the Press My Hobby
