Perhaps you could help me with some of this. Just how would you frame a legal opinion that holds that the Contitution protects abortion as a fundamental right of privacy, or for that matter contraception, which trump proscriptive state laws, but does not protect sex between consentual adults?

People do have a right to decide what kind of a society they are to live in. The liberals (and libertarians) are robbing people of that right.

My "blue collar" legal opinion is that two wrongs do not a right make. An honest court would admit that Roe was baseless, and despite the fact that I think the right to life should be Constitutionally protected, they would return that decision to the states and the law and respect for the Constitution would once again be consistent.

Problems with inconsistency are abounding. The Peterson case is a prime example. The killing of an unborn baby is homicidal if done by person A but not if done by person B at the behest of Mom C.

A SCOTUS decision here is going down that same crooked road, imh"bc"o.

What do you think?
