I'd just like to address the Roe vs Wade comment. The Supreme Court has already upheld a ban on partial birth abortion, a horrific procedure that might seem like it needs to be outlawed, but, and here is the key but, there is no exception for the mother's health.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18174245/ So if you discover late in your pregnancy that it might be you or the baby, it is now costitutional to force you to choose the baby. That doesn't scare you? The Supreme Court Justices appointed in the next presidency *will* hear a case involving abortion and there *will* be at least one and probably two justices appointed by the next president. There is just no question about that. And the current majority in favor of upholding Roe is 5-4. So yes, this could totally be overturned, sorry. Dana On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 2:49 PM, Erika L.
