Judge Carnahan addresses abortion-rights crowd
Judge Debra Carnahan, wife of U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis, was among the speakers Thursday afternoon at a gathering of abortion-rights activists on the steps of the Old Courthouse downtown.A "judge" who is negligent in protecting the rights of those least capable of defending themselves. How pathetic. A result, no doubt, of the new paganism which so many have embraced.
An unrelated breaking story prevented this reporter from stopping by. Alison Gee, political director for Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region, called later to say that about 80 people participated. The event was among many held simultaneously in states all over the country to protest the new South Dakota law that would ban all abortions in that state, except those to save a woman’s life.
Planned Parenthood already has filed suit to block that law, after it was signed by South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds.
In a statement sent out before the rally, Judge Carnahan said, “We’re standing in solidarity with the women of South Dakota today because this abortion ban is an attack on all women and families in America.'’
