gayathriSome of you might have noticed that the supremes upheld the ban on a particular sort of late term abortion, even at the risk of the mother's health.
I just read this at Spiked, and they were talking about 2nd term abortions, not even third term...
To me this isnt a matter of simply reproductive rights, but still a matter of womens' rights. There is still a fairly large contingency of people who dont like women having power.
No one _wants_ a late term abortion. Its not a matter of women using it as a method of birth control, but in my experience, a difficult choice between carrying a necrotic fetus to term and the resultant pyschological damage to the woman, or her triggereing a medical miscarriage for her own health and safety.
Why do you think they hate women so much?
