They overturned Roe v. Wade
Fuck Bush and the Supreme Court.
I am so fucking pissed.
And I'm going to a Planned Parenthood meeting on Friday.
I've never been openly socially active before, but its never to late to start.

I just have to say that I wish Bush would be as concerned about children after they are born as he is with them before hand.
I do see this as the beginning of the end... After all, we saw this coming when Kerry lost in '04. We knew that monkey boy would appoint conservative dicks to the Supreme Court.
I am sooo pissed.
Woah, woah. That wasn't what the ruling was about at all. If Roe v. Wade got overturned I'd be the first one out there complaining. However the only thing that was ruled on was a specific kind of partial-birth abortion that has been banned for quite awhile in most states.
Here's a pretty good, reasonably unbiased link about it:

It's the start of a slippery slope. I do believe that it means we will see more in the future.
hey nick-
yeah, i over-reacted a little, but i'm still pretty pissed, and have joined Planned Parenthood to do my little part
if you go the the Farmer's Market, you might see me at the table :)

Hey, it's a hard to read argument, I had to have someone more lawyer-speak fluent than me fully explain it.
As far as the slippery slope thing, I'm always in favor of just dealing with everything as it happens.
I'm glad to hear you're volunteering Steph, they're a good organization and can use all the help they can get I'm sure. Also thanks for reminding me that there's outdoor Farmer's Market again!
Yeah, Nick, I guess that's the way to go with things. I guess most of my frustration stems from wanting things to move in a different direction.
the thing that's really dangerous about this ruling is that there is no exception for the health of the woman. Life yes, but health, no.
But that's incredibly incredibly lame, bcz I can't think of any other reason (besides a life threatening situation) for someone to get a partial birth abortion.
i mean, what kind of fucker thinks that concern for a woman's health is not a damn good reason?
Makes jessie verrry verrry angry.
