like it was written in my soul from me to you / tangled up in blue
The Supreme Court confirmation hearings have taken over NPR. I heard the very beginning of them as I got ready this morning. Of course, the first discussion point was abortion and precedent. I wonder how different the debate would be if men were the ones who got pregnant. I also think it would be a different debate if women were not discriminated against when they get pregnant in the workplace. Getting pregnant really does mess up a women's immediate plans, as it does not have to have the same disruption in a man's plans.
Anyone who doesn't think that this is a bias against women (and minorities) just needs to look at the make-up of congress, of the supreme court.
