Roe V. Wade V. Bush

On this day in 1973, the supreme court issued a ruling that stated first trimester elective abortions were indeed legal.

On this day in 2001, President G.W. Bush signed an a "memorandum reinstating full abortion restrictions on U.S. overseas aid" (NYTimes). In other words, according to Bush, abortions were not permitted in countries receiving U.S. aid.

What was I saying about inequality when it comes to the U.S.-style "health" care?
