The Supreme Court never said abortion was "legal". The court went way, way beyond that and declared abortion a "Constitutional right". They based this ruling on an emanation from a penumbra. Almost everybody with the faintest of law backgrounds has been shaking their heads over that one for about 35 years.
Thios point can be seen as the whole reason for her comments.
Surely, she cannot actually mean what she seems to be saying about Roe v. Wade.
So, how did SHE vote???
But the average person out on the street thinks “legal” and doesn’t care about the details.
And anyone who thinks that Buzzi's seen the light or moved to the right should read Cicero's post #26. Her point is entirely political and pragmatic, not principled. She's only worried that R v. W awoke a sleeping giant, thereby getting the religious Right involved in the political process in a way they hadn't been before (a worry she shares with many a liberal Republican -- aka RINO).
Hmm. Sleeping Giant, Boiling Frog. Sounds like a weird Chinese movie.
