Roe v. Wade

If you want to read some opinions on it....

Quite interesting. As for now, I'm leaning toward abortion being a State issue. Constitutionally, it makes a better State issue than a Federal issue. I'm thinking that even a Supreme Court decision overruling Roe isn't going to make that much of a difference--what will make an impact is the legislative initiative taken on it. That will set up the true intent behind the stance instead of using lousy rationale to meet a certain end. If Roe is overruled, the U.S. legislature probably isn't going to touch the issue--nor should they (I can already hear Beatty's high-pitched squealing). So, I think I'm going to stick with it being best handled in the states. However, that might be scary if Ohio actually does pass their uber conservative abortion bill. Everyone will be running to Michigan. Interestingly enough, go back to Gongwer and check out House Bill 239. Its language and purposes might pass under the radar in a State like Ohio, without too much opposition. This bill is like the practical version of House Bill 228. It's purpose: "to prohibit the use of public funds or facilities for nontherapeutic abortions, proscribe public employees acting in the scope of their employment from performing or inducing a nontherapeutic abortion, and to declare that it is the public policy of the state to prefer childbirth over abortion to the extent that is constitutionally permissible."
