Odious Ginsburg Calls 'Choice' An Empty Concept For Poor Women
2015-07-31
[Huffpoo] WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the concept of "choice" is an ephemeral one for low-income women who live in states that pass laws limiting access to abortion, as they may not be able to afford to travel to a state with less onerous restrictions.

The lack of reproductive freedom is a remaining barrier to gender parity, the justice said at a Duke Law event Wednesday evening. Advocacy organizations and groups that fund abortions have pushed the idea that being "pro-choice" includes fighting to end the decades-old Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funds from going toward Medicaid coverage for abortion except in limited circumstances. One in four women on Medicaid who would have abortions if the Hyde Amendment didn't exist instead carry an unwanted pregnancy to term because of the prohibitive cost of the procedure, the Guttmacher Institute notes.

Ginsburg's remarks were all the more salient given that laws further restricting access to abortion in Mississippi and Texas are waiting to be picked up by the Supreme Court.
More "salient" indeed.No need for oral and written arguments, she's likely to have already written her decision.

Au contraire, ending paternity fraud and filing false official papers as in birth certificates, and sticking men with child support that had no DNA contribution to the child would bring gender parity as well. Then again where's the responsibility, accountability, and power in that? Without that little nagging element of 'responsibility' how can it be about true equality?
