[lbo-talk] SF choice

[c p]

later today, it might be interesting to check in on the developments of the 
antichoice vs. antiantichoice faceoff taking place in San Francisco today. A 
religious coalition organized about 10,000 antiabortion people to bus in 
from up to 600km away, and its clear that they didn't pick San Francisco 
just for its scenery, desiring to walk along an empty Embarcadero. They want 
to engage the opposition, and about 15 groups encouraged their members to 
come, and the Chronicle reported that they swore to stop them.

   On the phone, my friend said that some antiabortion people won't stay in 
their plaza and already are shouting at them at their pier, which I think 
was moved at encouragement by police in order to be further from Herman 
Plaza.

  Anyway, it seems like abortion could easily toggle from being a moderate 
position such as gun control, where people don't have to invest energy 
because it is not reasonable to believe that the legislature could enact 
many changes. It is the most likely scenario that Alito will be confirmed 
and that a case will be decided which changes the federal position on local 
laws. However, many counties already have no doctors available, so 
proactively arranging transportation and distribution of the 48-hour pill 
seems to be the way to go.
