Right now, we need to sleep with our eyes open, lest Roe v Wade be

late term abortions, no matter what the danger to the mother; no
matter if the poor deformed fetus has no chance of survival.
The radical religious Right waited 12 years to bring this up again;
this time they have a bunch of sympathetic theocrats in their corner.


There never was a coathanger; it's just a fictional but powerful visual
image. Kind of like Chuckie, or The Bogeyman.

Sorry to speak so strongly, Bob, but I don't think you're qualified to
pontificate on the dreadful expedients women had to resort to, in the
absence of safe, legal means of terminating an unwanted pregnancy.
