Don’t get me wrong… I’ve shed as many tears as anyone while watching the news of the shootings at VT. And, I’m horrified about it. But I had the news on most all day today and there was not ONE word about the fact that the Supreme Court upheld the partial birth abortion law that Bush put in place. We are one step closer to them feeling that they can overturn Roe v. Wade and women will loose their right to control their own bodies. This is just what every Christian and right wing republican has been waiting for. They will feel they are one step closer… and I’m sure they are. However, it wasn’t even news today. I have to ask myself why that was the case. I’m disgusted at both of these incidents, but both are very news worthy. Maybe the republicans are happy to just quietly let it have happened and hope that everyone is so wrapped up in the shooting stories, that they won’t notice how much closer we are to losing all our reproductive rights. Crazy…
