This was my thought exactly. The securities class action bar is a real problem, especially with deriviative actions where there is no fraud. Yes, the shareholders receive some compensation, but it is at the expense of their investment because these suits often times have a crippling effect on companies. The lawyers get phat though.

The securities class action bar demonstrates the power of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Milberg was always strong, but got a lot stronger after the PSLRA was passed.

Most people in the country are pro-choice, though.

BTW, parental notification is very expensive.

The other side would argue that abortion (with or without notification) has its costs as well.

I know you're just a transactional type, but how fucking gullible are you?

I wasn't the one that fell for Ty's chinanigans . . .

What's the middle ground?

Obviously polling is a very inexact science, but on the spectrum of possible approaches, from always legal, to legal with restrictions, to legal with significant restrictions (e.g., first trimester only), to illegal except in limited cases (life of mom, rape, incest), to always illegal, one needs to capture that third (middle) group to have a majority of voters in favor of laws at least that liberal.

The real problem is that there's no dominant position--regardless of where the country is, there's a majority to change it, just in different directions.

96? I can still remember meetings of my torts group from then. I can remember specific times being called on in class. I can remember the Butthole Surfers "Pepper." I don't see how someone would forget what happened when he appeared in court on behalf of a governor.

Bush was doing drugs as late as 1996? Amazing what comes out after the election....

That's all very well and good, but the study I cited suggests that parental notification laws and erosion of confidentiality regarding reproductive rights increases teenage pregnancy (hi hello!) and abortion rates.

We should be on the same side here.
