The rally on the steps of a Dallas courthouse
had a very political message.
George Bush must go, Roe versus Wade must stay.
Pro-choice advocates pleading with others to
send pro-life politicians home in November.
It's that precious right to vote. And my
friends, we must exercise that vote, that right
this year as we have never exercised it before.
Masilia Miranda is eight months pregnant, very
pro-choice. She's convinced yesterday's Supreme
Court decision, though it did not overturn Roe
v. Wade, was very damaging.
It's just like a crumbling foundation, if you
will. Eventually it will fall.
If we lay down and relax now, then we're
setting ourselves up to accept anything.
That is totally unacceptable.
Pro-choice advocates plan to take their battle
from the steps of this courthouse to the voting
booths in November
where they promise they will not vote for
anyone who is not pro-choice.
Meanwhile, pro-life advocates say these people
are just overreacting to a very conservative
Supreme Court opinion.
It's awfully premature to be talking about
what's going to happen when Roe falls.
Roe hasn't fallen.
All we've seen are some very, very modest,
common-sense regulations upheld by the court.
We will have more speculants, of course.
Pro-life advocates call talk of home abortion
videos and self-abortion information
Roe versus Wade hysteria blown way out of proportion.
Pro-choice advocates say back alley abortions
are a very real possibility.
Both sides plan to carry their message to the
polls in November.
