right...

To all of you who claim that Harriet Miers wouldn't vote to overturn Roe v. Wade:

"If Congress passes a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution that would prohibit abortion except when it was necessary to prevent the death of the mother, would you actively support its ratification by the Texas Legislature," asked an April 1989 questionnaire sent out by the Texans United for Life group.

Miers checked "yes" to that question, and all of the group's questions, including whether she would oppose the use of public moneys for abortions and whether she would use her influence to keep "pro-abortion" people off city health boards and commissions.


Awesome.

In other depressing anti-reproductive rights news, Target pharmacists can, and do, refuse to fill prescriptions for the morning-after pill (thanks to dickumbrage for informing me about this from Planned Parenthood, though oddly I can't find anything about it on their website). "What, you were raped last night? My god would damn me for eternity for filling your prescription for this effective post-intercourse contraceptive that has been widely approved of by the medical community. But we do have some stylish and amazingly inexpensive baby clothes just past aisle 4..."

I am officially off Target. This is going to be very difficult.
