This is just another of your blogs abusing liberals maisie. In your eyes they can do no right. Here's WHY they made the ruling... The US supreme court on Monday struck down one of the harshest abortion restrictions in the country and potentially paved the way to overturn dozens of measures in other states that curtail access, in what might be the most significant legal victory for reproductive rights advocates since the right to abortion was established in 1973. The 5-3 ruling will immediately prevent Texas from enforcing a law that would have closed all but nine abortion clinics. But in a coup for abortion rights supporters, the court also in effect barred lawmakers from passing health measures backed by dubious medical evidence as a way of forcing large numbers of abortion clinics to close. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the opinion for the majority and was joined by justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Anthony Kennedy, whose support was key to determining if the liberal or conservative bloc of the court would prevail. “We conclude that neither of these provisions offers medical benefits sufficient to justify the burdens upon access that each imposes,” Breyer’s opinion read. “Each places a substantial obstacle in the path of women seeking a previability abortion, each constitutes an undue burden on abortion access … and each violates the Federal Constitution.” Molly Redden,The Guardian Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the opinion for the majority and was joined by justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Anthony Kennedy, whose support was key to determining if the liberal or conservative bloc of the court would prevail. “We conclude that neither of these provisions offers medical benefits sufficient to justify the burdens upon access that each imposes,” Breyer’s opinion read. “Each places a substantial obstacle in the path of women seeking a previability abortion, each constitutes an undue burden on abortion access … and each violates the Federal Constitution.”

Still better than the back door abortions performed in someone's kitchen of my grandmother's day. I see the solution as educating young people to take care of themselves both in preventing unwanted pregnancy which is so much easier now than it was in grandma's day and looking after their own health should they choose abortion the same way they would look into any medical procedure. Perhaps one of the issues is that we have made pregnancy termination a moral issue rather than a health issue. We might do better if we stopped moralizing and focused on the real issues.

By continually introducing sneaky legislation to find ways to close down abortion clinics, all they were doing was burdening the patients making them travel long distances to get an abortion. Also endangering the lives of the patient by making the remaining clinics so busy that the patients had to be on long waiting lists. The longer a woman has to stay pregnant waiting, the more dangerous the abortion is to her health.

Once more I have to ask what happened to "HATE THE SIN BUT LOVE THE SINNER"? There's an awful lot of hatred and blame throwing coming from "pro-lifers", all of which does nothing useful in discussing the issue. All that does is distract from the real issue which is that the proliferation of abortion is a societal issue.. not a religious one. Once we accept that, we have to ask "Why is it such a huge problem now?" I think a good part of the answer to that is US ....our generation. WE gave them the permissions to live free and without having to think about the consequences of their actions. Lulu made the very valid point that males are allowed their wild oats, why? Well, mainly because they can't get pregnant...and to hell with any other consequences..."NOT THEIR RESPONSIBLITY, COULD BE ANYONES, IF SHE PUT OUT FOR ME SHE PUT OUT FOR OTHERS" And one of those consequences is that abortion has now been made legal in our countries. Whether we like that or not, we have accept it as law. Not all women who seek abortion are from poor backgrounds, not all are black, not all are ignorant, uneducated layabouts. They are even believers in God, atheists. schoolteachers...whatever. The one truth is, they are from the whole spectrum of society...and have a very acute problem. It's time to stop laying blame and DO something about our societies instead of laying blame..

Believe me or not Maisie, but I understand both sides of the abortion issue, but this isn't about whether it should be legal or not as that was settled decades ago. What I tried to say before is that if any woman decides to have an abortion, the more weeks she has to wait the more dangerous the procedure is to her. The law caused about half the abortion clinics in Texas to close down, so to have an abortion the patients had to go on long waiting lists making the procedure more and more dangerous to the patient with each passing week they had to wait. So the law was only endangering the women patients, not making them more safe.

I didn't write this hateful blog. As always, maisie could have chosen something less controversial to write about...but that wouldn't get her the "fun" of insulting those who disagree with her. Which is, after all, her aim in the first place. Yes, I disagree with most of her blogs, partly because they all condemn and blame those she dislikes, but mostly because they are so insincere that it's laughable. All she's interested in is belittling people. Your opinion of me is immaterial. You are welcome to it.

Maisie...where do you think your hatred of people with different sexuality comes from? It's what you were taught 50-60 years ago. I'd say that your daily rants suggest that you have a "major life issue" with people who don't conform to your very narrow outlook. Maybe you need a "shrink"? If you were really as honest as you say you are...why no outrage about the huge porn industry, paedophiles or child abuse? Instead, you prefer to demonise liberals, Muslims, LBGT and abortion...all your pet hates... and just ignore the real problems of today's society.
