Pro-Choice Advocates React With Dismay
By Sharon Pian Chan Seattle Times staff reporter Local pro-choice advocates expressed disappointment about today's Supreme Court decision that upheld the ban on "partial-birth" abortions. "It strikes me that the court has decided to eschew medical reality and legal process to make a political decision about women's lives and health," said Lisa Stone, executive director for the Northwest Women's Law Center in Seattle. Blythe Chandler, deputy director of NARAL Pro-Choice Washington, agreed. "It makes clear that Congress and other politicians think they can intervene in the private medical decisions of women," she said.
