"The underlying theme in most of these cases is the insistence of more self-determination. And the more I think about these issues, the more self-determination makes the most sense. Legislating religion or morality we gave up on a long time ago."

Harriet Miers.

I think you guys are reading self-determination wrong. In this case, self-determination means "not at the Federal level."

She is saying the Fedgov has no buisness legislating abortion, which is correct.

Roe is not best attacked with the morality argument, but the federalist argument, that it is a power not given to Fedgov to legislate reproductive rights, and should be addressed at the state level.
