"Well, we can fix that. I'm pro-life and think Roe v Wade should get overturned."

Thank god. We agree. But, I know why I think it should be overturned. But, you ... why?

Because every human person is entitled to human rights and the unborn are recognizably persons well before childbirth. Moreover, justice and equality for women (one of the prime arguments favoring abortion) may be achieved without resorting to abortion on demand and parents have a legal duty (in this instance severely undermined by Roe v Wade) to ensure the welfare of their progeny.

Even disregarding moral considerations, I view the legal reasoning of Roe v Wade extremely unsound just from the standpoint of constitutional law.
