Scott Lemieux gives Kathleen Parker a healthy dose of shit for her willful naivete surrounding Roe v Wade. As he notes, Parker quoted Susan Collins to say that Roe was safe. I saw a Facebook quote from my conservative cousin saying, basically, that abortion to remain safe, legal and rare, with a focus on rare. Which is fine for her.
As we have seen in places like Louisiana, GOP legislatures are absolutely going to take a maximalist approach to abortion. Now, Louisiana's law will die under Governor Edwards' veto pen, but there are states that are going to charge women with murder, you can count on it.
My guess is that many of these GOP women will find a way to wave this reality away. But not all.
