"even Ginsburg says the reasoning in Roe is non-existent. just words on a page, the arbitrary opinion of the men deciding it at the time."

Quote please.

the thread is probably here somewhere, that story made the news some months ago. not that Ginsburg wouldn't find some new "emanations and penumbras" to legalize unlimited abortion if the case came up before her again, but she commented that the ruling was a little weak the first time around.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a supporter of abortion, has acknowledged the difficulty of justifying the judicial activism of Roe: 'Roe, I believe, would have been more acceptable as a judicial decision if it had not gone beyond a ruling on the extreme statute before the Court.'
