I think it is unlikely that will happen but it is possible.

Exactly. It is very possible.

Rupert, you have to vote your conscience,and unfortunately women's rights are being relitigated right now, in 2012, by some in the conservative specter trying to remove them.

All it takes is enough Congressmen and Senators to vote the law in, and a President Romney to sign it. Please don't think "that will likely never happen".

When states vote in outrageously restrictive building codes for medical clinics that provide abortions, thus closing down those clinics, abortion ceases to be available, no matter if Roe v Wade stands or not. That has already happened and is currently being fought.

These people are dead serious about taking the right for women to determine their own healthcare. Virgina has passed a law mandating invasive vaginal ultrasounds (at the patients expense) if she wants an abortion.

These people are actively dangerous to women's rights.

There are plenty of anti-abortion people trying to get exactly that to happen. Now.

The time for people to be "up in arms" about men trying to take women's rights away is right now - during the electoral process. That's why Mourdock was asked at the rally about his thoughts on women's rights and abortion - so people can choose to never, ever for for him, an American Taliban that wants to introduce his religious law into our government.

Democracy takes work. These people are very dangerous. Again - any woman who votes for a candidate that looks you in the face and says he wants to take away your current freedoms and rights - he's not joking. He's dead serious, no matter how extreme and silly you think he sounds. Run for your life. Vote and defend your freedom.
