| 27. Supreme Court rules that a woman does not have a constitutional right to live. |
 |
That's exactly what this ruling says. If you're pregnant and that pregnancy endangers your health or your life, too bad. As a woman, you have NO right to live. You have NO right to do everything possible to save your life or protect your health. You are nothing. To all you bastards who voted for Bush*: FUCK YOU! To all you idiots who didn't bother to vote and/or said it didn't matter who was elected because they were all the same: FUCK YOU! To all you spineless Democrats who didn't bother to filibuster the wingnut assholes he put on the bench: FUCK YOU! Hey RWers ... sooner or later, this decision is going to come back and bite you in the ass because eventually, someone YOU love is going to have her life placed in danger because of a pregnancy ... and you can pat yourselves on the back when she dies!
