Politics Trump Womens' Rights

Duh.....You would think we would all be used to this bullshit and not give a hoot.

We could all just roll over and tell the religious right and the political opportunists who foam at the mouths for them...........boy you must be right!

Unfortunately truth and justice have an ugly way of popping their heads up.

Excerpt from Kos quoting Ginsberg:

As Ginsburg wrote in her dissent:

"Today's decision is alarming," Ginsburg wrote for the minority. "It tolerates, indeed applauds, federal intervention to ban nationwide a procedure found necessary and proper in certain cases by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists....And, for the first time since Roe, the Court blesses a prohibition with no exception safeguarding a woman's health."

She added: "Retreating from prior rulings that abortion restrictions cannot be imposed absent an exception safeguarding a woman's health, the Court upholds an Act that surely would not survive under the close scrutiny that previously attended state-decreed limitations on a woman's reproductive choices."


That medical considerations were not paramount in the the decision is also made clear by Ginsburg:


One wonders how long a line that saves no fetus will hold in the face of the Court's "moral concerns." . . . The Court's hostility to the right Casey and Roe secured is not concealed. Throughout, the opinion refers to obstetrician-gynecologists not by the title of their medical specialties, but by the pejorative label "abortion doctors."


Where are all the moderates on this issue? Where are the women? Why are we letting religious driven partisan politics f*** around with our health??????

This is not about "winning" against zealots and wingnuts.

This is about our rights! Criminy!

And let's not forget to thank NARAL.

After all, they have a lot of our money, why should they bother to use it???

Peace.
