What is still not said is that Norma could have hopped on a train, bus, or plane and traveled to other states in our union and had her abortion there was no reason for the federal government to poke its over eager nose into this.
My professor was a big time liberal. But he used the case as an example of faulty logic, disingenuous fact finding and poor writing: judicial advocacy at its worst. We spent weeks tearing the opinion apart.
From every angle, the opinion is atrocious. The first time you read it, it makes no sense and your brain turns into jello. Then, when you start to understand it, you realize it is a pile of pooh with perfume on it.
Even my very liberal classmates were horrified at how flimsy the reasoning for abortion was justified.
