"I don't have a dog in this fight, but I kept up with the posts, and it should have been obvious that the 1973 reference was to R v. W."
This was the exact exchange"
"but in social matters, I rely on society rather than a court to change things."
Who, then, changed things in 1973????????????"
I would say that is is apparent to me that the reference is to RvW but not obvious. Not everybody here is 40 years or older and it would have been much better communication to simply mention RvW. I don't think it was right to call Cajungirl ignorant for not getting the reference. That's all.
I am 63. The reference to "1973" hit me as a reference to Watergate. It was rude of him to call me ignornant based on my looking at a year, and thinking of Watergate.
Roe Vs Wade is not the most important SC DEcision to some of us. The coup of RN that year and the next was a national trauma that took up most of people's time. It was a televised nightmare from the hearings to the Massacre to the resignation.
Thanks for the defense.
