Very Good Reasons To Worry
By This year’s Blog For Choice question:
Given the anti-choice gains in the states and Congress, are you concerned about choice in 2011?
The answer, of course, is “absolutely.” The practical access that many women have to safe abortions is already pretty dire, and given the 2010 elections the situation is going to get worse before it gets better. Roe is not in imminent danger of being overruled, but the slow creep towards the de facto pre-Roe status quo (safe abortions for affluent women, limited-to-no access to safe abortion for poor women) is continuing.
