I thought he was against judicial activism.

The preamble to the constitution says that one of the rights with which we were endowed by our Creator is life. To outlaw abortion would seem to be behaving as a strict constructionist.

I think it's important to understand that ANYONE serving in a public office that is given the charge to defend the Constitution and the Laws of the United States can without bias say that a woman does have a right to choose. That is the law. I believe Rudy, like most attorneys, thinks "through" the law. John Quincy Adams thought so much of the law that he swore in using a law book and not the Bible.

No. That was the Declaration of Independence. You know as much about constitutuional law, as did the person who claimed that Plessy was about slavery, and that the Full Faith & Credit Clause was actually the Commerce Clause.

To outlaw abortion would seem to be behaving as a strict constructionist.

Are you Justice Brennan's conservative brother?

I think that throughout history people have KNOWN that Abortion is murder. This business about when life begins is pure sophistry. Those that performed abortions when it was illegal did so for money or out of misguided compassion for the girl/woman.
