Another Republican psuedo-victory
This argument comes to me via Doug Shaw, a brilliant mathematician/dude. So many Democrats and other such folk are up in arms about abortion becoming illegal during this next Bush term, when they fail to realize that it already is. The majority of counties in America do not have an abortion clinic--in fact, there is only one in the entire state of Alabama (and right-wing nutcases have already vowed to tear it down). His point, with which I entirely agree, is that if abortions were illegal, only rich women and women living in large cities could get them, either t illegal, back-alley clinics, or overseas. Of course, now the only people that can get them are the rich women who can afford to travel the great distance required for one, or who live in big cities. Notice the similarity? Let's call our senators and try to block the judge nominations, shall we?
