I have yet to hear how our new chief justice voted – has anyone?Will we EVER know how Roberts voted? I too am disgusted with providing taxpayer funded bus trips to abortion clinics. Joeseph Mengele must be smiling from wherever he resides.

Chris, my above comments notwithstanding: the ‘abortion for convenience’ argument is not going to win any converts over here.

Perhaps instead, we should look at the root cause, and therefore critique the leftist and permissive cultural mores in this nation that might have led her toward both (a) encarceration for a parole violation – how stupid is that? and (b) unwanted pregnancy – how avoidable is that?

Would you be against transporting this woman using tax payer funds to any other type of medical procdure? She is paying for the abortion so your tax dollars aren’t doing it. Abortion is still legal so she isn’t violating any laws. Just curious, if you forced her to have the baby how thirlled would you be to spend your tax dollars raising the child because that seems the liekly consequence. Might want to shell out the 300 bucks now instead of the hundreds of thousands it would cost over the next 18 years

Jay, what I’d heard was that the abortion was not being paid for by the government but through other funds, and that the issue was that the state was going to provide transportation and security (and cover costs) for the inmate to go to the place to have the abortion.

So, it is possible that this story is being misrepresented by a MSM too eager to trumpet a SCOTUS ‘pro-abortion’ decision when it really was only ‘pro-abortion’ on a technicality. In fact, I’ve heard this also reported several times on the radio top and bottom hour news blurps as “SCOTUS OK’s abortion” which grabs the ear but seems rather inaccurate.

I’d like to see more in-depth reporting on this story before I start losing confidence in this SCOTUS and Chief Justice.
