Two anti-choicers appointed to Senate Judiciary Panel

The Washington Post reported today that two of Congress’s “most outspoken” anti-choice members were appointed to Senate Judiciary Committee—Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and Sen.-elect Tom Coburn (R-Okla.).
Yeah, “outspoken” is one way of putting it. Frigging Coburn supports the death penalty for doctors who perform abortions—I’d say that’s a bit more than outspoken!
What’s even scarier is that the inevitable fight over Supreme Court nominations will begin in the Judiciary, now made up of 10 Republicans and eight Democrats.
Come on now, I thought that the holiday season was supposed bring joy, goddamn it!
