I realize that However, the judge in question grew up in Florida, and attended a local Jesuit law school. Kind of interesting. She came in under Clinton, so maybe she would have had the same ruling regardless of where her bench is located? But no it isn't surprising, as the 9th district is also where the ruling about the Pledge of Allegiance came from.

The issue is coming up in San Francisco and New York, which seems normal, but in Lincoln, Nebraska? That I find very interesting. I think Lincoln is much more conservative than SF or NYC.

honeychile, once I was told that the difference in a child and fetus was defined with viability outside the womb. Of course there was no definition of whether or not support methods are included in viability (machines and so on).

It states in the artcile the banned method is safer than the other, that dismembers the fetus. Dismembered, YUCK. mu_agd I have the same question, life of the mother over the fetus?
