Current mood:

infuriated

madder than hell!
I surfaced from qual-studying, and made the mistake of looking at the news. I am incredibly angry at the paternalistic attitudes of five justices of the Supreme Court. Abortion is painful and awful, and I really do think that we have more of them in this nation than is a good thing. That said, I'm not convinced that legal restriction is the way to prevent them, so much as to cause more loss of life through underground abortions. Needless to say, I don't agree with the Supreme Courts recent decision. That said, that's not what makes me so angry. I am angry that an old man thinks that he knows better than a woman and her doctor what is good for a woman, and had the nerve to say so in an opinion. Yes, abortion is probably not good for most people. That isn't the question. The question is, is it better than the other available options? Will it be the thing of least harm in a bad situation?
Now the question remains, what to do? Unlike my elected officials, I cannot call or write to express my outrage. Is there anything TO do?
