Miers 1993 Abortion Speech [View All]

[Barak And Roll]

I don't know if this made it up here yet, but WP reported the text of Harriet Miers' 1993 speech before a Dallas women's group:

"The ongoing debate continues surrounding the attempt to once again criminalize abortions or to once and for all guarantee the freedom of the individual women's right to decide for herself whether she will have an abortion," Miers said.
Those seeking to resolve such disputes would do well to remember that "we gave up" a long time ago on "legislating religion or morality," she said. And "when science cannot determine the facts and decisions vary based upon religious belief, then government should not act."

Aside from being one of the poorest sentences I've ever heard from a politician (* excluded) this ought to piss off some fundis.
