Blackmun invented a right to abortion....Roe had nothing whatever to do with constitutional interpretation. The utter emptiness of the opinion has been demonstrated time and again, but that, too, is irrelevant. The decision and its later reaffirmations simply enforce the cultural prejudices of a particular class in American society, nothing more and nothing less. For that reason, Roe is impervious to logical or historical argument; it is what some people, including a majority of the Justices, want, and that is that. Roe should be overruled and the issue of abortion returned to the moral sense and the democratic choice of the American people. Abortions are killings by private persons. Science and rational demonstration prove that a human exists from the moment of conception. Scalia is quite right that the Constitution has nothing to say about abortion.

I had a little epiphany the other night.

Give some thought to the notion that "strict constitutionalist" is a codeword for those who utterly discount the self-evident truths of the Declaration without which our Constition may be interpreted to mean just about anything.

thanks for ping.

Roe will be dead as soon as the Democrats realize that they will never will another National election while it is in effect. The Dems will be glad to leave it to the States. [like Prohibition Amendment]
