Wow, you know the Missouri state legislature's latest round of "if you choose to get an abortion, you must be an irrational, hysterical woman" regulations are bad when even Will Saletan can see through them. This may be too optimistic, but the only potential good thing to come out of Kennedy's openly sexist opinion in Carhart II is that it may have given away the show to at least some mushy abortion centrists.
