Here's something interesting. The Supreme Court in
Lawrence v. Texas rejected
stare decisis. The
Bowers decision is 17 years old, and they reversed it without hesitation. You suggest that
Lawrence may be worse than
Roe, but I believe it provides the key to unlocking
Roe and other decisions like it that are eroding the social structure of America.
If Bowers can be reversed, then Roe can be reversed. And so can Lawrence.
If Bowers can be reversed, then Roe can be reversed. Scalia points that out in his dissent.
If Bush appoints pro-life justices, Lawrence will be the basis of reversing Roe. The irony would be delicious. I wish I could be sure Bush is going to appoint pro-life justices.
You suggest that Lawrence may be worse than Roe, but I believe it provides the key to unlocking Roe and other decisions like it that are eroding the social structure of America. If you read Scalia's dissent, it seems he was trying to make that case. He gave some criticism to the Lawrence decision, but he spent an equal amount of time laying the groundwork for how this could be used to overturn Roe.
