well that makes me feel better. seriously.


in the spirit of new beginnings and rosh hashana, the new york times has published an article about abortions and roe v wade.
Don't worry, says the nytimes, even if the supreme court (with new party girl, Miers) overturns Roe v Wade, we've got mifepristone (misoprostol, Cytotec) now. So, instead of safe, legal abortions for women who want them, we'll have black market mifepristone.
Not that i'm not happy that there's a pill alternative to surgical abortion, because that's just awesome. but it doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy that, even if the right succeeds in overturning roe, we'll still have black market pills and we won't have to go back to knitting needles and clothes hangers.

What's up with appointing someone who has never actually served as a judge before? Even Michael Brown was a judge for Chrissakes. A horse judge, sure, but a judge nonetheless.
