Attack on Women's Rights Week
Ya know, if a person loved a good conspiracy theory, one might start thinking something was up following the Alito nomination. First comes the Supreme Court decision to end the injunction against abortion protestors harrassing women outside clinics providing abortions and ruling that federal racketeering and extortion laws couldn't be used to ban the demonstrators.

Then there is the spate of state legislation written or in the works to limit or eliminate abortions in South Dakota, Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee. Oh, wait, I'm not imagining a conspiracy. There most certainly is one --the intent all along was to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the pro-lifers are racing with glee to get to their new Bushie Supreme Court to give it a whirl. Some of these new laws provide no exception for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Let me spell this out clearly. The states have decided to force women to become receptacles. Roll back the clock.

Oh yes, lets not forget the Illinois judge that threatened a 20 year old woman with jail if she continued to refuse to watch a video of her own alleged gang rape at age 16. He relented eventually, but Judge Kennedy still says he may show the video in open court after her testimony. Ah yes, let's drag the victim through the mud just for fun. This video could be seen by just the judge and jury, the consenting parties and their attorneys, but no, let's traumatize the victim all over again by showing it to anyone who walks through the courtroom door.
