dude, where’s my abortion rights?

by violet blue on April 18, 2007

Hey — is everyone so caught up in obsessing about the shootings that they aren’t noticing what happened with the Supreme Court and abortion today? And that, like, the four dissenting voices were the few “liberals” in the court, including the only *female* left on the Supreme Court? This is even if a doctor deems it necessary to protect the mother’s life! Help. Help! Snip:

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who called the decision alarming, took the rare step of reading parts of her dissent.

“In candour, the Partial Birth Abortion Act and the court’s defence of it cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away at a right declared again and again by this court – and with increasing comprehension of its centrality to women’s lives,” she said.

Observers say the decision reflects the recent addition to the court of two conservative justices appointed by President Bush.

Also, while you were looking at MSM’s morbid over-coverage of the guy who stalked women then went on a killing spree, and not seeing the 2ndary headlines: read my post, Possibly Fatal Blow Dealt to Web Radio.
