The clinics, which say nearly 90 women would be affected, are offering to provide records with some key information, including names, edited out.

I am still new at this. Why did nobody respond? Is it because everyone is so scared and depressed by it that it is just better to ignore it? Denial and all that. This makes my skin crawl. Is there anyone who believe this is a good development? Megalaman?

You're mistaken. "Atticus" is not my "higher education is broken" sock, and I don't cruise Cambridge for strange. This guy has my proxy on all higher ed issues.

Atticus is, however, my American Christian conservatism is broken sock. I went to school with a bunch of dumbshits who thought Jefferson was a Christian, apparently on the theory that he was a Great American and, well, you know. I tried to explain that the last Christian who thought the New Testament needed editing died in 417.

I, for one, couldn't think of anything interesting to add to what RT posted, and didn't want to hit my quota of uninteresting posts too early in the day.

Because then we'd be arguing about abortion.

And this is supposed to be fun.

FWIW, I'd be just as pissed off if he were subpeoning complete medical records for heart attack victims. I'm into patient privacy.

PACIFIC MISSILE RANGE FACILITY, KAUAI, Hawaii, Feb. 24, 2005 /PRNewswire/ -- The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Weapon System and Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) destroyed a ballistic missile outside the earth's atmosphere during an Aegis BMD Program flight test over the Pacific Ocean. Raytheon Company develops the SM-3. Lockheed Martin develops the Aegis BMD Weapon System.

The Feb. 24 mission -- the fifth successful intercept for SM-3 -- was the first firing of the Aegis BMD "Emergency Deployment" capability using operational versions of the SM-3 Block I missile and Aegis BMD Weapon System. This was also the first test to exercise SM-3's third stage rocket motor (TSRM) single-pulse mode. The TSRM has two pulses, which can be ignited independently, providing expansion of the ballistic missile engagement battlespace.

Someday we'll find out what Bush said to all these people to get them to come around.

Maybe they hired the Clinton people that used to keep Bill's mistresses (and rape victims) quiet.

Suggesting that Bill Clinton raped women is a little like suggesting that George W. Bush would invest his own money in dry oil wells.

Not with each other, anyway, to the best of my knowledge.
