My rule is to read the article before commenting, but since I only have 3 hours before bed I'm going to update my rule in the light of what I judge to be current, state-of-the-art thinking.

I don't think it matters what the justices think of the status of unborn children as long as they follow the Constitution and let the country's legistors decide the law.

Well, that's all well and good but legislators make laws and the judiciary interprets and rules on their Constitutionality.

The question at hand is do the fifth and fourteenth amendments guarantee the right to life of unborn persons. That is a judicial function but it does not prevent the legislature and the states from amending the Constitution to specify such.
