Completely off topic, I wonder how this little gem of a thread got bumped after being started almost three years ago to the day. I was very surprised to come across a three year old post of mine. I'm not sure now-me necessarily agrees with then-me.
Yay for kicking a cold, dead horse! Now back to your regularly scheduled discussion. I will add to it by commenting that, regardless of feelings about the result, Roe v. Wade is a horrible horrible decision from a legal standpoint. Rules regarding social phenomena like gay rights and abortion should not be decided by courts on the basis of a wildly expansive reading of the 14th amendment, they should be decided by the people through constitutional amendments or state legislatures. The only reason no one has touched Roe v. Wade is because it's Roe v. Wade, not because it's a shining pinnacle of impervious legal excellence.
