supreme court, with the new lineup, decides to reconsider late term abortion ban. like i said, shocking.
(but what is truly shocking is that the web design for the eighth circuit courts is so 1997. ugh. just ugh. someone click on that "contact the webmaster" link and tell him/her to hire a *real* designer...)
addendum: wait! wait a minute here... if the eighth circuit, which contains nebraska and arkansas and other midwestern and great plains "red" states, thinks the ban is unconstitutional... and there are no federal circuits that disagree with them (the second circuit and the ninth circuit agree with the eighth circuit), what good would it do to uphold the ban? there is no conflict among the circuits, and furthermore, one of the most "conservative" circuits thinks the law is draconian. why step in and overturn all the lower circuits? i don't know which way the court will rule, but if they did rule to uphold the ban, it would be incredibly obnoxious. (if there were a bunch of circuits disagreeing on the constitutionality of this law, this would be a different story, but there is no disagreement.)

sometimes the obvious realizations are delayed.
had i finished medical school, this guy would have been my professor. i would have been gossiping about this case while doing shifts. instead, i read about it in constitutional law.
my dad probably knows him (he's a professor at unmc). how very funny.
what's even funnier is that my sister is an OBGYN - although she went to the jesuit medical school, so i'm sure none of this came up in class. at her school, this guy is probably seen as "eeeeeevil man."
"that guy who teaches at the other medical school in town... what is he teaching them? how to chop unborn children up in pieces? oh the horror!"
just a random thought.
