LOL

The best argument I've ever heard, pro or con, about abortion is that nobody got to legislate it. it went to the supreme court and pop it couldn't be legislated anymore, for or against. That was maybe thirty years ago, well before Turdblossom decided to put family values bills on everyone's ballot in 2004, before Gavin Newsom decided to say "double eagles bitchez we're marrying gays" and before pretty much the entire country went "you know, I'm not enough of a bigot to give my support to a law denying gay people human rights."

This article has a fuckin' coloring book in the margin to illustrate the vigor and vim with which legislatures will approach the problem even when they aren't allowed to make it illegal. It is my firmly considered opinion that a house'n'senate passed, presidentially-signed sentence that said "healthcare decisions related to pregnancy are the purvey of women and the physicians supervising their care" would club this entire fucking issue in the head never to rise again.
