So Duncan Hunter wants his judicial nominees to outlaw abortion nationwide. Interesting. I thought he was against judicial activism.

Judicial activism is what gave us Roe V. Wade. I love how some people are stare decisis types only now that the damage has been done. Personally, I'm in favor of conservative judicial activism to the extent that it undoes all the damage the liberal activists courts have done from the 1960s on.

Do you think that judges should create non-existant rights for fetuses? There is as much support for arguing that the practice of abortion is unconstitutional, as there is for the argument that the Constitution does not allow the death penalty: both are implicitly allowed.
