    DH, how is the music hall of williamsburg? do they sell tickets there for upcoming shows?

    MHOW is a pretty decent venue. yeah, they sell tickets at the box office. what show you lookin to see?

  2. “cobble- as the graphic designer for the PLusas does this mean my account at Pearl Paint is cancelled? What about the fancy lunches? I need those to spark my creativity.”

    bxgrl, PAY ATTENTION! You were cut off months ago. The days of Pearl Paint accounts and 6 hour boozy lunches at Odeon are OVER!!! : P

  3. Legion, my point is that it is a constitutional right if the S.Ct. held that it is. That’s Marbury, and we have lived with Marbury for two centuries. S.Ct. has held many things to be constitutional rights, some I agree with, some I do not. Miranda warnings are not in the constitution’s text, but they are a constitutional right (albeit one that gets chipped away at every year or two) because they have been determined by the Court to be what the constitution required under the circumstances. Corporate personhood is another. Two animals and a sled for Christmas displays on public land is another, sort of.
    Abortion under Roe and its progeny is as well, to the extent so defined by the S.Ct.

    P.S. As I’ve written before, “with all due respect” is an insult. It is a polite way of saying the opposite.

  4. “You continue to argue against facts.”

    dibs,
    The more I argue with bxgrl,
    the more I realize that her method of argument
    is to frequently argue a tagential point and always couched in a moral supposition.

    Otherwise, she will tend to call someone uninformed or accuse them of lacking the mental capacity to fully discern the facts of the matter in question.
    Laughable.

  5. The Roe v, Wade decison was one where the Court decided that a right to privacy under the due process clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution extends to a woman’s decision to have an abortion, but that right must be balanced against the state’s two legitimate interests for regulating abortions: protecting prenatal life and protecting the mother’s health.

    The “right” regards the decision, not the actual abortion act itself, which is regulated by the states.
