Oh, would the freaking fundies get raptured or kool-aided or something already?
U.S. pushes U.N. on abortion declaration
Ten years after the world's nations pledged to achieve equality for women, a follow-up meeting has become embroiled in controversy over a U.S. demand that its final declaration state that women are not guaranteed the right to abortion.
seizure seizure seizure! Meet Umbert the Unborn! A comic strip about the world's most loveable viable fetus! Could someone please photoshop an Umbert abortion?
in more awesome news, look at this clusterfuck.
Two points:
1. This happened courtesy of parental notification legislature
2. Why the FUCK are they charging the boyfriend? How is this different from an abortion, except for the "shock value" of the circumstances? And the the phrasing, oh my, the language!
In part because it still was legal to abort the fetus, the decision renewed debate over the protection of fetuses and the fairness of charging just one of two juveniles who allegedly agreed to kill their unborn child.
Smith said if the 6-month-old fetus had been viable, the boy would have been charged with manslaughter of a quick-born child, a 15-year felony.
Abortion is not homicide, but legal "precedent" by legal "precedent" the backdoor assault on Roe v. Wade continues.
That's it, I'm getting this T-shirt
