I don't even have a partner, but 29 is my wedding dress.

@intangiblemango: Just in general it bothers me. The article calls it "a woman's right to choose." Roe was not about women, it was about doctors. It was about a fundamental right to privacy.

@AnitaDrink: The case was brought by doctors who were being prosecuted for performing abortions. The Supreme Court held that doctors have a right to privacy to perform medical procedures and the case set out when such procedures are allowable. For example, 3rd trimester abortions may only be performed for the health…

Roe gave doctors the right to perform abortions if they so choose. It did not give women the right to have abortions.

@janellef: She's a cross between Yorke and the redhead on Modern Family.

@Alohamaid: She's a bumblebee. Not quite sure how the physics work, but she makes it happen.

@joannabobanna: I also enjoyed the flower girl. The intro was just obnoxious. Le sigh. The world of over sharing. Thanks internet!

@jbrecken: It was my favorite part. The rest of it, eh. Over this flash mob nonsense.

I'm officially a curmudgeon. These flash mobs are just plain annoying. The only nice part - the rabbi's speech.

@Ding-Dang: That was my point.

@Ding-Dang: And this is why I love reading your blog.

@eruantaliel: I was thinking the same thing. Psychologists are aware of the link between estrogen, birth control, and levels of depression in women. After years of anti-depressants and therapy, I went on birth control (for unrelated reasons); it was the first time I felt better. When I mentioned this to my…

@BioLady: I agree with you, but Scalia (and Thomas, who has made similar statements) like to cherry pick. They'd probably say that the Post-Civil War Amendments only apply to African American men, women are still excluded. Scalia would also probably point to the Equal Rights Amendment as support for his proposition.…

@Alibelle: You would love Justice Thomas then. He literally takes out a 1774 dictionary to figure out what words meant during the signing of the Constitution.

@BioLady: My history is a little fuzzy, but I believe at the time of the Constitution, no, women were not citizens. They were property of their husbands. It wasn't until the Married Woman's Property Act of the 1800s that this began to change. The Constitution also uses male pronouns, so females wouldn't be…

I will buy pants other than jeans.

@newyorkmuse: PM'd you back.

@intangiblemango: Currently in my 2nd year of a clinical psych PhD program. During my first year, I had a professor who any time he introduced a "new" theory would state, "and once again, we have old wine in a new bottle."

Just finished con law a few weeks ago and learned all about the Carhart cases. The issues just aren't that simple. SCOTUS wrestled with viability, types of abortion, and whether late-term included provisions for life of the mother and health of the fetus. The state law and federal law were not entirely identical;…

@SunburnedCounsel: Between the hat and weird sash thing, it's a completely accurate statement.
