ASPEN, Colo. — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg declared Thursday that abortions would continue to be available to women regardless of the legal challenges now being waged by opponents of Roe v. Wade.
"Over a generation of young women have grown up, understanding they can control their own reproductive capacity, and in fact their life's destiny," Ginsburg said in rare public remarks. "We will never go back to the way it once was."
Ginsburg said that any changes in access to abortion simply hurts poor women.
"If people realize that, maybe they will have a different attitude," she said.

I agree. I know there is a small minority of the population that would like to see us go back to the days when abortion was illegal and birth control meant condoms or abstinence, but it's just not going to happen.
