Or, if you like, see here:As the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana and Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky marked yet another legal victory in a challenge to an Indiana abortion law, the leaders of the organizations say they hope state lawmakers will begin to see what they say is the futility of the annual passage of abortion-restricting legislation.On Wednesday, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a provision in House Enrolled Act 1337 signed in 2016 by Gov. Mike Pence that required women to obtain an ultrasound 18 hours before having an abortion.
“Indiana politicians continue devising new and ever more demeaning ways to interfere with women’s constitutional rights and endanger their health,” said Jane Henegar, executive director of the ACLU of Indiana. “The ruling affirms that deeply personal decisions about abortion should be made by women in consultation with their doctors, not politicians pursuing an extreme ideological agenda.”Finally, there is this little nugget:
The state’s Legislative Services Agency, in its report on that bill, noted that past efforts to enact abortion restrictions have been successfully challenged by ACLU of Indiana, resulting in the state paying about $290,000 in legal fees to the plaintiffs and their lawyers.A free piece of advice to our state legislature . . . stop picking fights that you're destined to lose. We know that you love guns and hate abortions. You don't need to spend a quarter million dollars of OUR money (in attorney fees to your arch enemy the ACLU) to prove it.
Let's just agree to disagree, OK Mike Young & Co.? I believe that determining when, whether, and under what circumstances a woman carries a child is her own fundamental right. You believe otherwise. Can we just agree to disagree? Will you please stop picking my pocket to make your point?
Yeah it’s BS . Sick of it . Abortion is a woman’s right issue ... I do wish the libs and conservatives would stop using it as an issue . The “ conservative “ judge that Trump has elected ... all the libs want to label him as one who would vote against Roe v Wade ... he’s Catholic, etc ... but if you look ... he’s got two children spaced pretty far apart ( idk the specifics ) and OBVIOUSLY he and his wife are using birth control ... AND do you know , Mr Liberal table top Joe , , not ALL Catholics force their pro life views on others .... my guess is ... this man seems a god fearing man ... serves his community, and also has TWO Girls who he knows that CHOICE is of untmost importance . I mean look ... he’s already nominated for the Supreme Court and had said that he’s going to unphold the constitution. Yea , he said it , uphold the constitution... not uphold freaking catholic beliefs . Come on table top joe ... Catholics are the most coolest religion of all ... we don’t look down on others .... we are sinners ... most of the Catholics I know are pretty “cafeteria Catholic” .... if you know what I mean . Get off the F’ing bipartisan train and realize you cannot categorize everyone !!’
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what you want to happen for "the libs and conservatives" to "stop using it as an issue." Roe v. Wade was a 7-2 SCOTUS decision. I haven't seen the libs promising to appoint judges who will overturn this well-settled area of the law. Here is but one recent example of "both sides don't do it":
