HW 23: Apologies to Virginia Woolf

I apologize to Virginia Woolf because she is a wonderful writer and I was asked to write a spoof:

As I walk down the street I see many cars rushing by, with each one my thoughts jump from one thought to a different thought. As I sit on the grass and open my laptop. I opened the Feministing website and a very short article called Ginsburg Speaks Out on Women’s Rights at http://feministing.com/archives/007968.html. I opened it and my eye was caught by the phrase (Woolf 68) “She noticed if Roe was overturned, middle class women would still be able to obtain abortions, but the decision would have a devastating impact on poor women.” How do they classify “poor” women, I wondered (68)? And I read that Ginsburg did not see the court overturning the case of Roe vs. Wade. Why would they ever think of changing the laws? Why shouldn’t women have the right to choose? Why should the women have the right to choose? We need answers not questions.
