I felt so anxious when I read about that. Like you, if/when I decide to have a baby I want to know that if said baby has a horrifying birth defect that would give it the life of a vegetable or severely curtail my own then I will have the choice to terminate it. The prospect of having to labor and birth a baby I KNOW is dead or agonizingly deformed horrifies me.

And duh, aren't all late-term abortion methods a little, well, icky? Do they think anyone who gets one at any stage actually enjoys the process or is ignorant about what is happening? How else do you accomplish the deed? Or is there some secret method I don't know about where the fetus is magically turned into a rainbow or tiny unicorn?

I'm so glad to Supreme Court is protecting us ladies from such unpleasantness!

The Justice's preferred method of late-term abortion involves daily baths in holy water and large amounts of prayer applied liberally to the cervical area. Then you just give birth and poof! your baby comes out magically perfect and beautiful and not at all hydrocephalic.
Chauvinistic motherfucker. Why do we let 70-something-year-olds make these decisions for us? If my grandfathers were alive, I wouldn't let them decide shit for me. (I mean, much love to my grampses and all. But seriously.)
