Well, I'm glad people are finally concerned.

Republicans have been aggressively scaling back women's rights all over the country for quite some time, but if these recent SCOTUS rulings are what it takes to get people involved then so be it.

By almost any measure, issues related to reproductive health and rights at the state level received unprecedented attention in 2011. In the 50 states combined, legislators introduced more than 1,100 reproductive health and rights-related provisions, a sharp increase from the 950 introduced in 2010. By year’s end, 135 of these provisions had been enacted in 36 states, an increase from the 89 enacted in 2010 and the 77 enacted in 2009. (Note: This analysis refers to reproductive health and rights-related “provisions,” rather than bills or laws, since bills introduced and eventually enacted in the states contain multiple relevant provisions.)

Fully 68% of these new provisions—92 in 24 states—-restrict access to abortion services, a striking increase from last year, when 26% of new provisions restricted abortion. The 92 new abortion restrictions enacted in 2011 shattered the previous record of 34 adopted in 2005.

The solution is simple: We have to vote them out. But will we be able to focus our attention on this instead of the distractions thrown at us by right wing trolls like Greenwald (who, not surprisingly, SUPPORTS the latest SCOTUS decisions)? Only time will tell...

1. Do you have a reference to Greenwald's support

For these decisions? I generally ignore everything that flies from his mouth and fingertips - tells you what I think of him if I lower myself to that.
