Thanks for clarifying. So, in simpler language, what you're saying is
that you support the notion that women should be subject to the whim
of state legislators, similar to how blacks were treated by those very
same legislators. Basically, they shouldn't have the right to choose
under federal law.

Not really analogous. Blacks make up what, 10% of the population? Women
make up fractionally over 50%.

As for Dave, you guys can always have a constitutional convention and
amend your constitution. Why not try that if you think your SC is so
badly out of line?

Personally, since I'm never gonna have to carry a baby, I'm buying
right out of it. Let the pregnant woman make the choice, up to a point
in the pregnancy where the foetus can survive unaided. That's where
this whole debate gets real messy.

Jon, answer this: do you support the right of a woman to abort a 32
week foetus? Yes or no.

Quite analogous I'd say, especially since women were denied the right
to vote.

Davey and BushCo don't have the balls, I mean the votes, to make it
happen. So, they try end runs around the law.

Can or should? What about the fetus that would only survive a few
minutes, due to some terrible defect?

Sorry, but it's not quite so simple... it depends on the situation,
something the woman, her diety, and the doctor should decide.
