The ruling "is a stunning assault on women's health and the expertise of doctors who care for them" and may open the door for states to pass more outright bans.
  • Supremes Reprise Same Tired Old Tune

    A bare majority of the Supremes handed down a "fatwah" against women yesterday. Disregarding poll after poll after poll over the last thirty-plus years showing the majority of Americans favor retaining Roe v. Wade, the usual suspects on the court became the Mullahs of Morality...telling women how little they can control what happens to their own bodies. On the bright side, this will most certainly become a rallying-point for Progressives; the '08 election looms large for those who have, virtually, taken a woman's right to choose for granted. Abortion has become another litmus test, if you will, for all candidates in '08. The Supremes postponed for the next session, however, their ruling on when, not if, women will be required to wear a burqa when out in public.
