re: Women protesting abortion by not showing up to work for 2 weeks

I feel like Louisiana should be more torn on this issue. I know plenty of folks raised as Catholic that are pro-life, but will constantly bitch and complain about the economic drain of the lower-class because they constantly birth kids into terrible lifestyles.

Here's the deal:

This decision isn't telling any woman what she can or cannot do to her body. The decision is righting the wrong that Roe v Wade was to begin with. The USSC should have never made that decision and created law. It should have been left up to the state.

Now, what is being lost in all of this crying, gnashing of teeth, and general overreaction is that every single state would have the right to decide the issue for itself. If these shortsighted, oversensitive people want to make sure their state retains the "right" to abortion then they need to educate themselves and vote accordingly. If they desire an actual Federal law that would protect abortion "rights", then they need to educate themselves, vote accordingly, and then demand that our Legislature does their job and fricking legislate!

Personally, I don't care very much, certainly not enough to get all rustled because someone I don't know who has no bearing on my life decides to get an abortion.

What does have an impact on me is an overinflated Federal government and shoddy "law" that set precedent that never should have happened.
