re: #92 tnguitarist

I guess I’m not as optimistic as some of you that think this is a decided issue and that they are fighting a losing battle. Pro-lifers have been trying to stack the courts for years. To a lot of people, especially where I live, this is the only issue that matters to them. They may give other issues a few sentences, but they start breathing fire when the subject changes to abortion. If reproductive rights were to come before the supreme court right now, I would be pretty concerned.

Not just the courts. State legislatures have been churning out some awful bills.

I used to think it was a settled issue, and something that couldn’t go back to the old way. One thing that gave me some complacency was knowing there were many tactics against abortion being made unavailable, like RU-486 and Menstrual Extraction. Then I read the Oklahoma law (that was struck down, I hope I remember correctly) and it included Menstrual Extraction as one of the things being made illegal. Woke me up some more.
