But I imagine it's a good-sized win for gay rights activists.
If you consider maneuvering outside of the democratic process to get what you want to be a "good-sized" win..... The people of New Jersey never voted for this law, nor did they ever vote for representatives in favor of this law, but they have this law anyways. Many people have attributed the entrenchment of anti-abortion activism in this country to the fact that abortion was not legalized through democratic processes in the United States, as it was in most other democracies. I can't help but wonder if the same thing isn't happening here.... _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
