Roe v. Wade and another McCain 180
NY Times article from a doctor who remember the pre Row v. Wade days: Repairing the Damage, Before Roe
It is important to remember that Roe v. Wade did not mean that abortions could be performed. They have always been done, dating from ancient Greek days.
What Roe said was that ending a pregnancy could be carried out by medical personnel, in a medically accepted setting, thus conferring on women, finally, the full rights of first-class citizens — and freeing their doctors to treat them as such.
I ain’t fond of McCain by any measure, but even I understand he’s 180′ed on this issue from not supporting a repeal to being in favour of overturning the judgement for only 1 reason: votes. Meaning only 1 thing: there are voters who want Roe v. Wade overturned.
Really America? Are we still stuck on this shit again?
