Well, if we're jumping this far afield, what about those gruesome murders and rapes and lynchings and hate crimes (some against Jews or Catholics) that sometimes salt Criminal Law books?

Another difficult issue to teach, because of the
graphic nature of the facts, is Stenberg and
restrictions on partial birth abortions.

The opinions in Stenberg feature graphic descriptions
of various abortion techniques (and I have noticed
that the casebooks have severely edited these
descriptions--and I wonder why the editors made this
choice). But can you really understand the law
governing partial birth abortion (not to mention the
moral dimension of the issue) without reading these
graphic medical descriptions?

When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
