Ruth Bader Ginsburg dismantled a controversial Louisiana abortion bill during an hour of arguments at the US Supreme Court this week, systematically striking down components of the law she previously opposed during a preliminary vote.
The 86-year-old Supreme Court justice seemed to aggressively push back against demands from lawyers representing the Trump administration and state of Louisiana to approve the legislation during Wednesday’s arguments.
“If the woman has a problem, it will be her local hospital that she will need to go to for the care, not something 30 miles from the clinic, which does not have a necessary relationship to where she lives”, she said.
Moreover, the justice argued that women who have abortions rarely ever require medical treatment afterwards.
“Most of the people who get abortions never have any need to go to a hospital, isn't that so?" she asked the attorneys, later adding: “You don't dispute … that among medical procedures, first-trimester abortion is among the safest, far safer than childbirth."
The attorneys acknowledged that, while women occasionally require hospitalization after having an abortion, it’s “often true” that they do not.
The justice reminded attorneys that the Supreme Court “already held that admitting privileges served no medical benefit”.
“There is not even a plausible conflict in this case”, she said, according to a transcript of the arguments.

Oh Ruthie, you’re so wonderful! (spit)
Burn in Hell Buzzy. Tell Hitler he sucks when you see him.
So...
There’s two Doctor Ruths?
What is the fascination with Democrats killing black children?
“There has to be a special place in Hell for people who use the words “safe” and “abortion” in the same sentence.”
Since the left insists on using the term “gun violence” we should use “abortion violence”.
Ginsburg is a vile, evil bitch. There is a special place in hell for people actively facilitating the murder of babies.

what a complete embarrassment RBG is.
besides which, nobody with her known record of extremist attitudes should ever have been put on the Court (her nomination was, as I recall, approved by nearly all of the GOP-e Senators, too!)
Where’s her broomstick?
A depraved witch.
Works out badly for the baby.
Baby might beg go differ - if it could
Its possible for reasonable minds to disagree on first trimester abortion but these people people are flat cheerleading infanticide on demand - even post partum abortion
Very sick.
These people are so damn ghoulish.
Um, it isn’t better for the baby’s life! It’s instant death!
Well, colonoscopy is much safer than abortion, given that all humans who went into the procedure come out alive.
But there are very rare cases where your intestine is perforated, as any procedure that requires invasion into the body has the risk of perforation...and guess what the doctor doing your colonscopy has? ADMITTING PRIVILEGES.
The old bat is an ideologue who doesn’t give a crap about the health and safety of women. Just making sure that children can be murdered without inconvenience.
Safer for whom?
“Is it not true that most drivers reach their destination without the need of a seatbelt?”
Also to note: the oral surgeon who pulled a molar on me a few months ago has...ADMITTING PRIVILEGES at a nearby hospital.
Yeah, abortion is way safer than pulling teeth.../s
“You don’t dispute … that among medical procedures, first-trimester abortion is among the safest, far safer than childbirth.”

It’s “safe” only if you define safe as having your unborn body ripped to shreds by murderous demons who would make the Nazis proud.
What a nice day it will be when this evil witch assumes room temperature.
This evil thing...did she ever procreate?
