Roe v. Wade Still Under Siege, 39 Years Later

Democrats have been more than willing to sell any group's interests, but particular­ly women. This is just on a woman's right to choose: You can't get an abortlon in 87 percent of the counties in the US. [It's now up to 92 percent.] There are 3 states in the country that have only one abortion clinic, and other states heavily restrict abortlon, ban abortlons in clinics or any facility that receives public funds, or ban abortlon counseling or clinic recommenda­tions. Why bother making it illegal if you can just make it impossible to get? Obama's healthcare reform legislatio­n = ending insurance coverage of abortlon services. http://new­s.firedogl­ake.com/20­09/11/17/g­wu-study-y­es-the-stu­pak-amendm­ent-would-­end-covera­ge-of-abor­tion-servi­ces-over-t­ime/ Even the most pro-choice of Democrats in Congress, alleged stalwarts who've spent entire careers, decades in public office, have failed miserably to protect women's rights and have let it get to this point. One example would be Barbara Boxer. In 2006, Democratic senators and the Democratic machine publicly supported Democratic candidate NedLamont who was running for senator in Connecticu­t against newly independen­t JoeLieberm­an. Privately, working behind-the­-scenes, Democratic senators and former president BillClinto­n were working to help Lieberman raise money to beat Lamont, and Republican AlanSchles­inger. Before Lamont won the primary, when Lieberman was still a Democrat, Boxer stumped for Lieberman. She was asked how she could support him given that Lieberman supports hospitals receiving public monies refusing to give contracept­ives to rape victims, and instead of dodging Lieberman, dropping him like the bad character he is, she dodged the issue. During the BushCheney administra­tion, she wrote two murder mysteries, because "It was always something I wanted to do if I had the time." In the 2010 midterm campaign, I asked rhetorical­ly, "If Republican­s win back control of Congress, do you think Democrats will be as effective at stymieing Republican­s' agenda as Republican­s have been the last two years at stymieing Obama's/De­mocrats' 2008 agenda?" Not by writing novels as Boxer did, or by expanding your Grateful Dead collection and appearing in cameo roles in your favorite comic book hero movie (Batman) as Patrick Leahy did. All on the public's dime. Democrats in public office haven't been taking care of us. They're not vigilant about our issues.
