When the draft Supreme Court opinion overruling "Roe v. Wade" leaked on Monday, my first thought was: WHY COULDN'T THEY WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR? ("Roe" is in quotes because Planned Parenthood v. Casey already overruled Roe, but "Roe" is still used to describe the nonexistent right to abortion.)
Yes, it's human life we're talking about. Millions of babies are killed in their mothers' wombs each year -- it's a massacre. On the other hand, I thought, ending late-terms might end the midterms.
But then I read Justice Samuel Alito's opinion and was intellectually offended all over again by the idea that one of our precious constitutional rights, enshrined in a founding document, is the right to kill an unborn baby. Anyone complaining about the decision should be required to cite the exact parts Alito got wrong. Be specific. And keep in mind, no important discussion of constitutional law has ever begun with the words, "My vagina ..."
The Nation magazine's Elie Mystal took a stab at it by completely misstating Alito's argument, then saying, "the Founding Fathers were racist, misogynist jerkfaces." (I was planning on writing a scholarly and nuanced treatise on the framers, but Mystal just stole my title!)

“Some states will surely roll back the right to abortion more than 15 weeks. Oh well. The abortion ladies will have to travel to other states the same way gunners do now to practice their marksmanship, shoppers do to get plastic bags, or breathers do to take off their masks.”
I know Coulter has alienated most freepers with her bashing of Trump, but I’ve always enjoyed her snarky remarks, like the one above.
Too bad she blew up her standing with conservatives.
Ask a liberal if the law making the smashing of eggs in the nest of a bald eagle being a felony is okay with him or her? Why?
The ruling might save lives. Motivated pregnant organisms will likely just cross state lines to have their children killed.

Cases brought to the Supreme Court, if accepted, need to have a decision made and a ruling issued.
Ann must have missed that section in her Constitutional Law 101 class.
Oh, OK, the bimbo with the line of snappy patter LIKES Justice Alito now - she wasn’t any too enthused with him when he was nominated...
