Have you been following that case that Justice Thomas took up this weekend about the prison abortion?

Caught it in passing. Haven't reviewed the underlying cause of action, blah blah blah ...

He stayed the medical procedure pending a chance for the Court to decide to take up the case, and the Court denied cert. The lady is free to get a public-paid abortion, is how my brain processed it without checking close.

Are you interested in it? Want me to check it out?

I just found an old thread about it...but, from the way I read it...

It sounds like it is more about the state having to PAY for, and provide the transportation so she can have one.

I don't think this ever was about whether she could have one...just how she would get there...since the state law says that they cannot pay to transport for that reason.

So, if the Supreme Court says "Yeah, she can get an abortion"...aren't we back at square one?

According to the article, she said that her family has borrowed money to pay for the abortion, but they can't afford the transportation.....which the state estimates if THEY pay it would be $350.00.

I will ping you to the site...if you would like.
