Not to get off on a tangent here, but I was taught that Roe V. Wade basically says:

In the first trimester, no one can interfere with a woman's "right" to an abortion.

In the second trimester, the states can put some limits on this "right" within certain limits.

In the third trimester abortion is only allowed if a woman's health/life is in danger.

It is bad law on many levels, not the least of them is the fact that it is de facto legislation put out by the Supreme Court which has no constitutional power to do so. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is the "final" say on what is and what is not constitutional, so they got away with it. It points out a gaping hole in our constitutional checks and balances. Technically, the constitution doesn't even make the Supreme Court the arbiter of what is and isn't constitutional. They decided that themselves in Marbury vs. Madison...

Anyway, as much as I would like to see the Supreme Court reverse R v W, they would need a clear cut case brought to them that covers all aspects of the decision and that is not going to happen. R v W will have to be dismantled brick by blood drenched brick. If we are smart, we will do it slow, but steadily...
