NC GOP in trouble with the courts, again

Which is what happens when Statists try to force citizens to do something against their will:

US District Judge Catherine Eagles issued an injunction this afternoon against the part of the law that requires a doctor to show a woman the screen as he or she conducts a required ultrasound, to describe to her verbally what the image shows, and to offer her the opportunity to listen to the fetal heartbeat.

So much for all that liberty-loving, Constitution-protecting blabber Republican candidates love to spout, especially when they're trying to pick the pockets of seeking donations from their incomprehensibly loyal base.

I read it as "Satanists" not "Statists" at first...

Which could definitely work, I suppose!

I was so happy to hear about the ruling as I am still incredulous they thought they had the right to pass that law in the first place. I am being totally obnoxious in posting the link below to my blog post on the law shortly after it was passed, but it contains one of my favorite op-ed illustrations ever... so forgive me:

Not obnoxious at all

That's what we're here for.

My main objective for BlueNC is to expose more people to all the great thinking coming out of NC non-profits. It's impossible for the frontpagers here to find and link to everyone, so please, consider this your house ... and do as much linking, cross-posting, etc., as your time allows.

Yeah, that reference might be

a little obscure to some folks. That's me giving the back of my hand to some of the corporate Libertarians who have taken to calling progressives "statists" because of our alleged blind faith in the state (the government machine) in solving all problems via "implied violence". Or something along those lines.

Thank you, James

You are a gentleman and a scholar!
