The odd thing Justice Kennedy noticed about abortion in Texas

I prefer Ethan for Embryo, Frank for fetus and Peter for person myself. :lamo

Are you serious?

As the Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday for the most consequential abortion case in a generation, new criticism of state rules that shrink access to clinics came from the justice widely predicted to cast the swing vote.

In Texas, Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy pointed out, the number of medical abortions — the method used almost exclusively in early terminations — is falling faster than the surgical procedure, used for most later terminations.

“My reading indicated that medical abortions are up nationwide, but down significantly in Texas,” Kennedy said. “This may not be medically wise.”

It is good to see that, while he is opposed to abortion, he is keeping an open mind about the undue burden placed on women in Texas. Hopefully, that will reflect in his ruling.

1. If you say one thing is going down faster than the other then they are both still going down in numbers so that point is moot.

2. He should be fired if he considers the burden placed on women or anyone else. That's not a variable that factors into constitutional issues. The only factors that matter are what the Constitution say and the intent of those words by the founding fathers. To do otherwise is legislating from the bench.
