One Sentence Too Long
I was watching C-Span the other night and they had on that Texas state senator, Wendy Davis (she of the now legendary abortion filibuster). It took place at the National Press Club and after her speech she took several questions, one of which I found particularly interesting. She was asked if there were ANY restrictions on abortion that she could possibly accept. Her answer was basically, no, that abortion was a Constitutionally protected right, period, end of discussion...................................................................................Sooooooooooo, a woman who is 8 1/2 months pregnant in perfectly good health should be able to abort a pregnancy just because she decides that she doesn't want a kid after all and doesn't want to go through the adoption process - THAT'S OK? Really? I don't know, people, it sounds to me as if there are radicals on both sides of this debate.

That contradicts Roe v. Wade.
Actually, you're right.
As I've been saying for quite some time. Wackos are to be found in plentiful numbers in both extremes.
Reason be damned.

"... THAT'S OK? Really? I don't know, people, it sounds to me as if there are radicals on both sides of this debate."
So, exercising a 'Constitutionally protected right' makes one a radical?
Love to hear your pontification on 'prior restraint' and 'gag orders' in relations to the First Amendment. Does exercising the Constitutionally protect right makes one a radical?

To answer your question,"- THAT'S OK?" Yes.

You have no qualms about killing an 8 1/2 month old fetus, Ema? Really? That's pretty sick, dude.
Ema is running on a "wishful thinking" version of the Constitution. The rest of us are looking at the document, as it stands, and interpretations/rulings of the qualified (and legally empowered( authorities concerning it.
Not only that, she is coming across a bit bloodthirsty.
The way that I see it, if you can't yell, "FIRE!!", in a crowded theater, you shouldn't be able to kill a viable 8 1/2 month old fetus, either.
