Bye-Bye Abortion Rights
Look, I'm no Kerry fan, but voting for Bush could very likely be voting to send ourselves back in time -- to a time when women were baby pods -- whether they liked it or not. Here's the Fox "News" link to the AP story:

Thirty states are poised to make abortion illegal within a year if theÝSupreme Court (search)Ýreversed its 1973 ruling establishing a woman's legal right to an abortion, an advocacy group said Tuesday.

The pro-abortionÝCenter for Reproductive Rights said some states have old laws on the books that would be triggered by the overturning of the landmarkÝRoe v. Wade Ýdecision. Others have language in their state constitutions or strongly anti-abortion legislatures that would act quickly if the federal protection for abortion was ended and the issue reverted to the states.

"The building blocks are already in place to recriminalize abortion," said Nancy Northup, the center's president.

The group's report comes less than a month before the presidential election, which those on both sides of the abortion issue say will be critical in determining the future of the Roe decision.

Currently, it is believed that five of the nine justices supportÝabortion rights (search), but that balance could be tipped if President Bush, in a second term, nominates a new justice who reflects his anti-abortion views. Democratic contender John Kerry is a strong supporter of abortion rights.

And I'm a strong supporter of Kerry. Get the government out of the hands of the fundamentalists. It's scary to think what they could accomplish in four more years.
