That, too. Considering the length of time it takes for them to get things done. I wouldn't hold my breath.

I know. They only finishing up their 40 year effort to close all abortion clinics (1 left). So I suppose it will be as long to undo that.

Absolutely.
They have their own time clock.

Yes we can, yes we can. I don't know, I suppose it's a good idea considering their demographics. But who's to say, really?
