Interesting question. The reasoning behind Roe is weak, but the country is divided on the question of abortion. It would be a travesty to overturn the ruling. Sooner or later the Court is going to have to update the reasoning behind Roe. For my own part, I see the mother as having more rights than the fetus, until a certain point. I'm not sure morally where I would put that point, though. Right up until the baby is cut from the mother's umbilical cord? 8 moths? 6 weeks? At inception? I have no idea. Society as a whole has no idea, and my gut says that if we can't agree on a standard as to when the fetus has the same rights as the mother, we must leave it to each woman's conscience.
We do each other great justice when we honor each others' beliefs. On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 10:56 PM, Jeff wrote: > IRT the SCOTUS, I actually prefer more conservative justices.
