'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A little kid raising money for school by bringing candy RIGHT TO YOU?
Sadly, she didn't even bring the candy to me. I had to order it.
I have a non-SCOTUS legal (kinda?) question: I just saw an ad that described the product as "patent pending." Does that mean that someone has actually said the application has some merit, or just that they filled out the patent application?
Only the real nutjobs would drop health (since, generally, "health" includes "will having this baby kill her?") and the super-nutjobs drop life. The loony reasoning is "doctors would lie." Yeah, so?Why am I thinking that the ban on so-called "partial birth" abortions does not make an exception for the health of the mother?
Tom DeLay indicted. Again.

My understanding is that the ban on Dilation & Extraction abortions does not mean that all late term abortions are banned. It simply places a ban on the preferred method. There are other methods, but these put the mother at a much higher risk for complications.

Yeah, it's even just Intact D&E, IIRC. But I don't really want to get into it.

As far as I understood the ban, it was, "No way, no how, no matter what. Even Mom." I could be wrong.

That's why the Congressional ban got flipped by the SCOTUS -- no "life and health" clause.
Some think the eliding of "health" was the real test of the SCOTUS, not the ban on D&E.
Thanks Jesse.
It's not even really a ban on D&E in the language, I don't think -- it's all this inflammatory non-medical language.
