Gawd!, celebrating this as a great achievement is really counterproductive and inane.

We talk about a law that enables the use of public funds to terminate the lives of the unborn. The country already had an abortion law for specific cases including rape.

Hard core progressives sell their support at a high price (they finally got the abortion bill they were pushing for)

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, the noisy progressive minority will keep demanding more concessions from this apathetic & weak government in exchange for their support.

The thing won't end well for the argies.
