I never realized that the women's movement was solely about partial birth abortion.
Rosie continues the discussion about the Court's ruling and the slippery slope:
***
Rosie: Correct- but why is it brought up? Because it is a way to get in to start eroding Roe v. Wade
BW: That is what the scare is. The scare is Does this begin, is this the slippery slope? And we don’t know- we’ll see
Rosie: It is as if the women’s movement never happened

Does she think at all before she speaks. This is a great example of her need to over reach her argument. I am not a member of NOW, but I do believe their agenda is broader than this one aspect of this one issue.
On the other hand, they are, I am sure pretty upset today.
This attitude is why so many women have begun to turn away from the women's movement. I always thought the women's movement was about a woman's right to pursue her dreams- to make her own decisions about her education, her career of choice, her relationships, her family life ...
The leadership of the women's movement has become myopic. Most women are opposed to partial birth abortion. This is simply a fight that the far left should give up.

Elisabeth: I don’t think its that
Rosie: I certainly do- it is frightening to me
Joy: I never thought it would be overturned but it probably will be at some point just like the Brady Bill was overturned. It could happen

Real quick point for Joy: Roe v. Wade is a Supreme Court Decision and the Brady Bill was a piece of legislation.
