States May Ban Abortion if Roe Overturned |
States May Ban Abortion if Roe Overturned
By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Thirty states are poised to make abortion illegal within a
year if the Supreme Court reversed its 1973 ruling establishing a woman's
legal right to an abortion, an advocacy group said Tuesday.
The Center for Reproductive Rights said some states have old laws on the
books that would be triggered by the overturning of the landmark Roe v.
Wade (news - web sites) decision. 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 support abortion
rights, but that balance could be tipped if President Bush (news - web
sites), in a second term, nominates a new justice who reflects his anti-
abortion views. Democratic contender John Kerry (news - web sites) is a
strong supporter of abortion rights.
The center found that 18 states had pre-Roe laws totally or partially
banning abortion. In some cases those laws have been blocked by a court,
but could easily be revived if Roe were overturned. Alabama is one state
where the abortion ban was never enjoined by the courts, and could be
immediately enforced.
Other states such as Ohio don't have abortion bans, but both the
legislature and the governor oppose abortion and without Roe there would
likely be a rush to pass legislation banning abortion, the center said.
It concluded that 21 states are at high risk, and nine states at middle
risk, of banning abortion within a year of Roe being overturned. More than
70 million women of childbearing age would be affected, the center said.
Another 20 states, including Massachusetts, which has a pre-Roe ban, would
likely retain abortion rights because of other statutory protections or the
makeup of their legislatures.
"We are really, I think, in some peril now," said Rep. Louise Slaughter, R-
N.Y., one of 11 abortion rights lawmakers to attend the center's Capitol
Hill news conference.
The only Republican was Rep. Chris Shays, R-Conn., who said that Roe v.
Wade was "an extraordinarily important document" and "we need to elect more
pro-choice Republicans to the Congress."
The 21 states considered at high risk of banning abortion were: Alabama,
Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The nine at middle risk: Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
The 20 at lower risk: Alaska, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New
Mexico, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and
Wyoming.

Yep, if you don't want your current or future wife or girlfriend to have to
die so a rape baby or hideously deformed monster can be born, better vote Kerry.
Because under Bush nominees, if you or your doctor try to do anything about
it, that'll be accessory to murder.

rape victims would have a right to abortion.
i think back to last year when two Iranian twins cojoined at the head
underwent a procedure to separate them and subsequently died.
i consider that a tragedy and i know that if they knew the outcome was that
they would die, they would not have through with it.
life is precious. mothers who kill their unborn children are an abomination.

rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following are
exceptionally clever. Someone out there either has way too much time to
waste or is deadly at Scrabble. When you rearrange the letters:
Dormitory .................................. Dirty Room
Evangelist................................. Evil's Agent
Desperation.............................. A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code..................... Here Come Dots
Slot Machines......................... Cash Lost in 'em
Animosity................................ Is No Amity
Mother-in-law..........................Woman Hitler
Snooze Alarms........................ Alas! No More Z's

So now the value of human life is determined by how one is conceived or how
desireable one is.
Thanks for sharing the left wing view of human life.

How to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity in the Workplace
1) Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
2) Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear
them one day after you boss does. This is especially effective if your boss
is a different gender.
3) Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these
names. "That's a good point, Sparky." "No, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have
to disagree with you there, Cha-cha."
4) Send e-mail to the rest of the company telling them exactly what you're
doing. For example: "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom."
5) Hi-Lite your shoes. Tell people you haven't lost them as much since you
did this.
6) While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in Palmolive liquid. Call
everyone Madge.
7) Hang mosquito netting around your cubicle. When you emerge to get coffee
or a printout or whatever, slap yourself randomly the whole way.
8) Put a chair facing a printer. Sit there all day and tell people you're
waiting for your document.
9) Every time someone asks you to do something, anything, ask them if they
want fries with that.
10) Send e-mail back and forth to yourself engaging yourself in an
intellectual debate. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle
the disagreement.
11) Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized
chair-dancing.
12) Put your trash can on your desk. Label it "IN."
13) Feign an unnatural and hysterical fear of staplers.
14) Send e-mail messages saying there's free pizza or donuts or cake in the
lunch room. When people drift back to work complaining that they found none,
lean back, pat your stomach and say, "Oh you've got to be faster than that."
15) Put decaf in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has
withdrawn from caffeine addiction, switch to espresso.
