Happy Friday Ladies! I’m posting again about the Planned Parenthood fight going on in my city, as things have gotten bigger, not better, but not really worse either. I’ve also found my little e-mail-writing self  involved in the lastest court cases and honestly? I thought it’d be cool to share ☺ So here goes.

It’s a sad day for those of us in favor of abortion rights. According to the NY Times, the Supreme Court today upheld a 2003 federal law banning partial-birth abortion procedures. This despite the fact that the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the premier association of OB’s in this country, argued that in certain cases the procedure is safest for women seeking an abortion after 12 weeks gestation. Planned Parenthood and ACOG are saying this decision potentially threatens most abortions after 12 weeks, although there is another procedure that remains legal. One positive is the law allows the procedure if the mother’s life is threatened.
