re: #236 Charles Johnson

I totally agree with this, and have never said otherwise.

I totally disagree with this, and I wonder why you feel that you need to misinform people about what’s happening. There’s a deliberate, nation-wide effort going on by the right and the religious right, to chip away at abortion rights every way they possibly can, with the ultimate goal being to repeal Roe v. Wade. And it’s just wrong to say “its not happening.” It IS happening. In the past 8 years the right has had a disturbing amount of success with this effort.

Sticking your head in the sand and ignoring it is your choice, and again, I respect that. But don’t try to tell people it’s not happening at all.

I’m not sure how to answer this. I honestly don’t believe Roe. V. Wade will be overturned. I am not a political activist or a lawyer so I can’t make an educated guess on how real the threat is. In saying “its not happening” I am not saying they are not trying. I am saying that I believe it won’t happen. What legal argument can social conservatives make against unrestricted abortion?
