@SeaGreenEyez How so? Until this law was passed abortion was a crime in New Zealand, just as it was in many US states prior to Roe v. Wade, 47 years ago.
@SeaGreenEyez Thank you for spelling it out so clearly. I am deeply troubled by the direction we're heading in this country. I have never accepted that men--usually older white men--should have the authority to determine what women do with their bodies.
@SeaGreenEyez Theocracy? Christian Sahria? Now that is truly is a scary thought! I'd be interested in the constitutional argument that would allow for such a trampling on the First Amedment and subsequent judicial rulings.
My greatest concern about stacking the courts with litmus tested judges in a post Kelo v. City of New London and Citizens United v. FEC reality is that wealth and power will be further concentrated, and that the powerless will be further screwed.
As other countries move forward we in the USA move backward.
