Nonsense. "Choice" as an American judicial principle is made out of hole cloth. There is no conflict to posit. Capital punishment on the other hand *is* in the Constitution. Making religion a burden where Roe is concerned is a stalking horse.
I was asking Vicomte the question because of this remark:
"for devout practicing Catholics, there actually IS truth in the charge: devout, practicing Catholics are not free agents."
This implies to me that the Vatican's position on ANYthing would have to take precedence, which is why I was asking to have that clarified!
