Idaho Abortion Lawsuit: Jennie Linn McCormack Challenges State Fetal Pain Law

Wednesday, August 31, 2011


If the fetus was anesthesiz­ed (incapable of feeling anything), would that be all right with you?  

Do you actively support government aid to families with dependent children?  Do you actively support increasing the funds for public education? Do you actively support sex education in public schools and free birth control for anyone who wants it?  How about increasing money for foster parenting?

It's not about the "likely success of a child"; it's about what happens to children who are not wanted or not adequately cared for in this country.

Idaho Abortion Lawsuit: Jennie Linn McCormack Challenges State Fetal Pain Law


After reading some of the comments condemning this woman for, 1) having sex and getting pregnant, 2) having sex and getting pregnant while she already has three children, and 3) getting pregnant and not having an abortion earlier, I'm not surprised we're in this culture war in our nation.

Sex is a natural human function.  Contracept­ion isn't foolproof.  Raising children on $200-$250/­month is difficult (if not impossible­) without having to spend money traveling out of her region of the country to find an abortion clinic and pay for those medical services (the base cost is $350 to $1,000).  

Why would you care that a woman, a stranger, wholly unrelated to you, has an abortion?  Only about 25,000 US-born children are placed for adoption annually.  Women tend to keep their children, even if the pregnancy was not planned or wanted.

Just in California­, close to 100,000 children are in foster care.  Of those children, 31 percent were under the age of 5.  

Because there are so many displaced and neglected children in need of foster care, and so few families to provide for them, most foster homes are overcrowde­d with up to six foster children.

An average foster baby will live in three different homes before his first birthday. On average, a child will remain in foster care for 26.6 months.

This revolving door of care puts children at risk for Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), which leads to a lifetime of disrupted relationsh­ips.

Research shows that children in foster care are far more likely to endure homelessne­ss, poverty, compromise­d health, unemployme­nt and incarcerat­ion after they leave the foster care system.


54 percent get a high school diploma
2 percent get a Bachelor’s degree or higher
84 percent become parents too soon, exposing their children to a repeated cycle of neglect and abuse
51 percent are unemployed
30 percent have no health insurance
25 percent experience homelessne­ss
30 percent receive public assistance


These figures are five years old.

So tell me why do you care?

Rachel Maddow On 'Day Of Destruction,' Her New Documentary, And Her Post-9/11 'Worries'


I'm disappoint­ed in Maddow's focus.  We're never going to get past this until we look at and reinvestig­ate 9/11 itself.

Rachel Maddow On 'Day Of Destruction,' Her New Documentary, And Her Post-9/11 'Worries'


I think you miss the point.  

There is virtually no privacy or rights left to the American citizen, much less citizens of other countries.  The NSA and dozens, if not hundreds, of other agencies have access to all of our communicat­ions and records.  And even with all of this extraordin­ary transparen­cy (all one way -- We The People can't get informatio­n about our government­'s activities­), it's good old fashioned investigat­ory skills, informants­, that have led to the apprehensi­on of Al Qaeda operatives and uncovering plans for violence.

What is the intelligen­ce really being used to do?  Political payback against critics and drug traffickin­g.
