ABORTION IS THE CEMENT
by Peter Moss


It is sheer delight to watch 7 Days tackle sex, excretion, abortion, etc., subjects the megacorporate main-stream mass media monoculture [5M] avoids as taboo. Re your 10-9-02 "reproductive choice" cover story: Notwithstanding all the moaning and groaning by radical conservative wrong-wingers (formerly right-wingers) about judicial vacancies, the delaying and derailing of wrong-wing judicial nominees is an undisguised benefit to the unrich 98% [UR98] of the populace. That is because patronage judges do not administer justice; they protect the privileges of the top 2% rich [T2R] ruling class. Over a decade ago, there arose a conference on critical legal studies consisting of 500 faculty from the top law schools, and they realized and advertized that the patronage judiciary are a political tool, not problem solvers nor dispute resolvers. Since abortion is the cement that holds together the conservative voting block of unrich conservatives and the T2R, the wailing of the "critical" shortage of judges is an attempt to enable Bush to name one of his "highly qualified" wrong-wingers to the Supreme Court in the next two years, to overturn roe-vee-wade to salvage the voting block. It is a pity that conservatives soil the good name of the GOP in a selfish attempt to repeal roe-vee-wade which the UR98 must abort at all cost, not only to give women a choice but to counter the damage and suffering that conservatives inflict on the UR98 every day.
