Doctor goes to great lengths to keep abortion accessible

[fizzgig]

Dr. Carol Ball was two-thirds of the way through her morning commute when she heard the news.

The first leg of her journey, a scooter ride to the Twin Cities airport, had been uneventful. Not so for the second leg — a 200-mile flight to Sioux Falls — as the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Massachusetts law keeping protesters at least 35 feet from abortion clinics.

The loss of any kind of protection is a blow in Ball's line of work, and the Massachusetts case had been widely watched. But the ruling will have no direct effect on the doctor in running shoes and khakis who performs abortions far from home.

Because losing protection means you have some to begin with.

the rest from the la times.

1. I do not believe

there is any group in the entire world whose members I hate and despise more virulently than the anti-abortion zealots.

2. SCOTUS should be forced to run the guantlet their ruling has caused for this doctor.

And before rendering each opinion, SCOTUS should be forced to read some wacked out qualifier on everything they are about to say. Although, nothing can more stupid than what the state requires this poor doctor to say to her patients.
