3. Not exactly - state must trasport her. Shes paying for the abortion.

4. Yes - it's just about the transportation and security costs...

which she can't afford. She's paying for the abortion itself.

5. Yes, true, amended the post to reflect that

But it still is a much better sign than it could have been had they taken the case and reversed it.

11. Absolutely! It's a very good thing that they decided to not get...

involved.

6. This is a perfect example

of how the Repiglicans use the Simon-simple "pro-life" movement by keeping the carrot just in front of the jackass' mouth.

They had a chance to stop the whole process for this woman. They didn't do it. That way, it's the fault of an "activist" appeals court judge and the fat, pasty-faced, doughy white men who believe in dumb crap like "original sin" and want control of womens' innards can keep on marching and voting Repiglican while the corporatists pick their stinking pockets.

7. For the sake of child-bearing age women everywhere in the USA

and for the principle at stake, this is a better outcome than a reversal would have been.

However, the "pro-life" movement is very hateful and I'd like to see it end.

9. Deleted for dumbness.

8. Ya'll don't believe in original sin.....

And you call yourself an 'merican....

:sarcasm:

12. I call myself a human first, a woman second, and an American...

after that. :hi:
