Here's an ad from Planned Parenthood in Michigan. Nothing graphic, I should add. I just don't know what other reaction to have when they call abortion "sacred work". Watch and know what we are up against.

Somebody slipped...
From a NY Times interview with Supreme court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
"Q: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?
JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of."
As shocking as her comment may be, I find it equally as shocking that the reporter didn't ask a follow up question about this statement. I mean, honestly! A Supreme Court Justice admits that there are some types of people "we have too many of" and he just let's that go??
