Ginsburg: Roe will hold
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/39523.html

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg declared Thursday that abortions would continue to be available to women regardless of the legal challenges now being waged by opponents of Roe v. Wade.

"Over a generation of young women have grown up, understanding they can control their own reproductive capacity, and in fact their life's destiny," Ginsburg said in rare public remarks. "We will never go back to the way it once was."

Ginsburg said that any changes in access to abortion simply hurts poor women.

"If people realize that, maybe they will have a different attitude," she said.

1. K&R.
She's the rationale why there should be 5 women on the Supreme Court and just 4 men.

Dudes, it's time to pass the torch.
