I am one of those crazy bastards that thinks that the government should keep out of medical decisions and reproductive issues at all costs. This was more than evidenced by the whole Terri Schiavo fiasco as well as the case that preceded Roe v Wade that involved a state (Connecticut maybe?) trying to outlaw birth control even for married folks. A truly outrageous crock of shit that never should have happened. Politicians are so arrogant.
That being said, I don't believe abortion should be used for anything but the most extreme cases such as the very rare occasion when the mothers life is in jeopardy, along with rape, incest, molestation, etc. since we don't need that kind of sickness in the gene pool. There is little or no excuse for accidental pregnancies in the 21st century. Then again, I also lean in the direction of mandatory birth control for welfare moms and hard core enforcement of child support laws.
Hmm...interesting. So you think people shouldn't have abortions (for the most part), but they should still be legal? If that's what you're saying, then I'd have to agree.

As for Alito, I'm pretty sure I said it wouldn't even make it to the Supreme Court IMO. But, I hope he comes around and sides with the liberals on abortion, but if I had to guess I'd say he's one of the conservatives who "protects life" at all stages...(anti-death penalty, pro-life) -- except they dont so much during the actual life..but that's another debate
Awill3449 Reviewed by Awill3449 on . South Dakota house passes ban on abortion This is a bold move . The bill does allow a loophole for women who are at risk of dying or have been raped and such. http://www.keloland.com/NewsDetail2817.cfm?Id=0,45916 Rating: 5
