It amazes me how supposedly brilliant people like these Justices can hold such sexist, ass-backwards opinions. "Loss of self-esteem and depression"? Mon dieu.
As I understand this case, the ruling was over whether it's within the power of government to ban the IDX procedure, and didn't really make a ruling on late-term abortions generally. (In my opinion whether or not this particular procedure should be used is a matter for the community of physicians to decide, not the government). Nor did it address Roe v. Wade or the Planned Parenthood case. Nevertheless Justice Kennedy's comments are revealing and deeply troubling.
