the slippery slope...
When you've got Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg remarking in her dissention that this ruling is "alarming", you know something is wrong.That also is the best way to describe the Supreme Court ruling, supporting the Federal Abortion Ban on late-term abortions.
90% of abortions occur within the first twelve weeks, but there are those times when, mainly due to the health of the mother or the fetus, or both, a late-term abortion must be performed. Sometimes it is performed when women don't have the money to get one earlier; they are in a situation where they are with family or other people who won't allow it and they literally escape to get help; they have no place to go in their area and find out too late about proper services elsewhere.
The idea that the Supreme Court could allow this ban that does not even consider the health of the mother is unconscionable and unconstitutional. This ban must be fought.
NARAL is taking donations for helping get info out about The Freedom of Choice Act. I don't have a lot to spare right now, but I do believe that this one is going to worth it. Something has to be done.
I feel like I got punched in the stomach.
CALL YOU CONGRESSFOLK NOW! and make sure they know about and will work and vote for The Freedom of Choice Act.
Peace --Alex
