But there are million of others, neither reactionary nor religious, who have now concluded - or are in the process of concluding - that at some point, before birth, fetuses become babies, deserving of protection.

The sad part is, many of these same people are willing to let the Supreme Court dictate when that "point" occurs. As an attorney, I can tell you that no one is less qualified to make such judgments than a bunch of lawyers and judges.

Any "point" in a continuum of change is arbitrary. They are used in law a matter of practicality. Unfortunately the RvW decision used a "viability" criterion which doesn't seem to take into consideration any criteria we use to decide if a thing has rights.

Since I brought it up, what criteria do determine rights? 10 fingers and 10 toes?
