CONVERGENCE (via Kevin Whited):
Women's rights (Houston Chronicle, 4/29/05)
Who would have thought Iran, for decades synonymous with repression and religious fanaticism, could offer a beacon of sensible discourse for the United States? According to the government news service in Tehran, Iran's Parliament passed a law permitting abortions in cases of danger to the mother or severe disability in the fetus. [...]Abortion is a serious matter, worthy of mature debate and responsibly crafted law. How ironic that Iran is moving forward toward this goal, while the United States is sliding backward.
Actually we appear to be moving towards identical goals. Posted by Orrin Judd at April 30, 2005 10:23 AM

Isn't it strange to suggest that an authoritarian regime can offer a lesson to the United States by making abortion more available?
