Whatever Happened to Baby Roe?

Does anyone know what happened to baby Roe? Norma McCorvey did give birth, of course, as slow as the judicial process takes, and I believe the girl was given up for an adoption. Did anyone ever track her down? Does she know that Roe v. Wade was all about how she should be dead. If she knows that, how does that affect her psyche?
Reader Michael sent in this interesting article that descibes from the horse’s mouth (former abortionists) how abortion was marketed (they knowingly used made up hugely inflated statistics) and the money angle of abortion which is hardly ever talked about. It has a number of stories worth reading, including one from an abortionist who was looking to adopt while throwing 9 to 10 babies a week in the garbage.
And are saline abortions still commonly done? Those sound horrible.
Anyhoo, for those not interested, I’ll be back to the funny tomorrow morning as usual.

Yay! I Wasn’t Aborted! Day

The 32nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade was over the weekend (Michelle Malkin has lots of links and links to links), and I’d thought I’d add some perspective from someone born in ’79 (the “Coulda Easily Been Aborted Generation”).
Now, I usually avoid the abortion topic as I don’t like my blog being the place for serious debate, but I’m going to ask for it today. Only thing, I don’t want any mention of the morality or what not of abortion and abortion law, I just want opinions on the actual decision upon which most of the controversy converges.
Here’s the text.
Now, I have not read many Supreme Court decision in my day, but I did take a Constitutional Law class and did my final paper on Roe v. Wade. Basically, I ripped it apart for nine pages (which was much like shooting fish in a barrel).
Hells yeah, I got an A.
To sum it up, it’s crap. It’s a decision just pulled completely out of Blackmun’s ass (where are trimesters in the Constitution?). I know there’s been this silly controversy of Justice Thomas writing poorly thought out decisions, but nothing could be this bad. My best guess is that Blackmun said to himself, “The issue of abortion is very controversial, but I, myself, in my great wisdom, shall solve this national crisis by pulling law out of my ass!” Of course, his attempt to end the debate by fiat just inflamed things, but, eh, that’s just all water and blood under the bridge now.
Well, everyone give it a read (I think it’s a little longer than the Constitution – which it incidentally makes a few grudging references to), and write your own opinion in the comments. Remember, you don’t have to be against legalized abortion to recognize shoddy judicial decisions, but, if you really think I’m wrong, please educate me.
And, again, stick to law and no moralizing from either side.

Fun Trivia

In Schrˆdinger’s cat theory, if you put a live cat in a lead box, throw a capsule of cyanide in and immediately seal the box, since you don’t know if the capsule has broken or not, quantum physics dictates that the cat is both dead and alive until you open the box and force the cat into one condition by observing him. Well, I just put a real cat in a lead box and threw in one of my spare cyanide capsules before sealing it up. Let’s see how the cat is doing…

In My World: I’m President Again!

Bush dialed a number at the phone at his desk in the Oval Office. “Guess who’s still President! …That’s right: me, bitch! …Yes, I do have to call you ‘bitch,’ you dumb frog… What do you mean I should foster better diplomatic relations with you? What the hell do I need France for? I have Colorado for dumping nuclear waste in. Well, I guess I can use for dumping old bombs. Anyhoo, tell your terrorists friends I’m coming for them soon.”
Bush dialed another number. “Geuntetag and gesundheit, guess who’s president again, you stupid kraut… That’s right! Now say my name! …Say it! …Put more emphasis on the ‘dubya.’ …Yeah, that’s my name, and you better get used to it because it’s going to be around for another four, mo’fo’.”
Bush hung up and dialed another number. “Hey, you don’t sound like Arafat… He’s dead? Probably died because he heard I’m president again. Yeah, that’s right! So who is this? …Well, Abbas, better watch what you do ’cause I’m president again!”
Bush hung up and kicked over his desk. “Time for more action!”
Scott McClellan ran up to him. “I’m about to hold a press conference, and I was wondering…”
“I’ll handle this one,” Bush announced.
“I don’t know if that’s wise.”
Bush backhanded Scott to the ground. “Shut up. I’m president again!”
Bush walked out to greet the press.
“What is your reaction to how, during the confirmation hearings, Condoleezza Rice pulled out a Tec 9 and…”
“Shut up!” Bush yelled, “I’m president again! Now I ask the questions!” He thought for a moment. “Nah… that would mean you people would still talk. How about I just say stuff and you listen. First off: I’m president again! I don’t have to worry about reelection, so I can do anything I wan’!”
“But…” one reporter began to say.
“Hey, I wonder if any of you reporters can catch this paperweight with your head.” Bush threw a heavy paperweight at the reporters, smacking one in the head and sending him to the ground. “Guess the CBS correspondent wins. Heh heh.”
“I think you gave him a concussion!”
“I know I did!” Bush declared, “’cause I’m the president again! Now listen up, dumbasses: It’s time for me to put my unaccountability to good use. After I feel I’m done with Iraq, I’m going to start attacking other countries. ‘cept now, I ain’t even going to tell you people why. I don’t have to justify myself; I’m president again! As for domestic, I’m giving all the tax cuts to the rich… the really really rich! No one can stop me… ’cause I’m president again! And I’m going to change Social Security… even if I have to throw all the old people out onto the streets. Even the Democrats can’t whine their way out of that one… ’cause I’m president again! Then I’m going to do targeted missile strikes on people in Hollywood and college professor’s I don’t like. Some may call that suppressing freedom of speech, to which I say, ‘I’m president again!’ Oh, and I’m going to have protestors forcefully bathed.”
“You’re insane!” a reporter shouted.
Bush kicked him in the face. “Damn straight, so best stay outta my way! Yee-haw!”
A car sped into the crowd of reporters, hitting a few. The door opened to show the soon to be Attorney General.
“What’s up, Speedy Gonzales?” Bush asked.
“I told you not to call me that!” Alberto shouted back, “Anyway, I saw some people standing around looking suspicious, so I thought we might go violate their rights.”
“Sounds fun,” Bush answered, “You have your sombrero?”
“I keep telling you I don’t wear one, you stupid gringo!”
“Do you have your piñata bat at least?”
“Of course! Do you think I’m loco?”
Bush jumped in the passenger side of the car and put on some sunglasses. “Let’s roll!”
