Will there ever be an end?

As you may have heard South Dakota recently passed legislation to remove a woman's right to choose. The showdown between the different sides of this issue will take place in the US Supreme Court. Given the new make-up of the court, this situation could become a bit heated. Those on both sides of the issue are claiming the upper hand in this battle, but it is unclear how this all will play out. Most Democrats are hoping that Alito and Roberts will hold more loyalty to precedent than they will towards their own conservative feelings. I, the usual optimist, am actually concerned about how this will end. I hope for the best but millions have been gunning for Roe v. Wade since the decision was handed down. For many abortions are a very touchy issue, I don't think anyone approves of the actual procedure, but privacy must be protected. Opponents must realize that there are more important things in this country than what a woman chooses or does not choose to do with her body. Constitutionally, its a privacy issue.
Such other important things include the recent destabilizing activity going on in Iraq. Groups have their heart set on de-railing the democratization of their own country. This is what the country sghould focus on as well as social security and other civil issues, not an issue that was decided 35 years ago. Whoever is president when Bush leaves office is gonna have a royal mess and I hope if it's a Democrat then, he or she will be able to pull through it.
Also as a small note, there is still a debate about Katrina and the handling of it. Apparently some loans have not come through yet and the blame game continues. The Dept. of Homeland Security will now be a part of any disaster relief in the future... great more red tape.

We face some troubling times ahead and hopefully, to use a sports reference, the right people will step up to the plate.
