Okay. I thought I had found someone who could rationalize their position that an abortion at 29 weeks was worse than an abortion at 12 weeks but obviously I was wrong. If you believe abortion is murder you can’t compromise. If you believe it’s not murder there is no reason to compromise.
Here’s part of Alito’s opinion draft. He basically says it can’t be rationalized.
“Some believe fervently that a human person comes into being at conception and that abortion ends an innocent life. Others feel just as strongly that any regulation of abortion invades a woman’s right to control her own body and prevents women from achieving full equality. Still others in a third group think that abortion should be allowed under some but not all circumstances, and those within this group hold a variety of views about the particular restrictions that should be imposed.”
“One prominent constitutional scholar wrote that he would vote for a statute very much like the one the Court drafted if he were a legislator, but Roe was not constitutional law at all”
