desertvixen | Politics, Part II

I was hoping there would be a link to the interview transcript, but no luck.

So, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild is now supporting McCain/Palin.

I'm scared.

The part that really drove me: where she said we shouldn't be worrying about abortion. It's constitutionally protected.

Um, actually NOT. A woman's right to choose is protected by this little case known as Roe v. Wade (with some follow-on cases), which interprets the privacy rights in the Constitution to cover a woman's right to decide what to do with her own body. A case that could be overturned.

Not that it would really matter to HER anyway. I don't know her exact age (and Google is not helping), but if I had to guess I would say she is probably past worrying about periods. Even if I'm wrong on that case, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild is going to have options the rest of us do not.

Nothing says elitist like telling us what not to worry our pretty little heads about, lady.
