Jason, Im at work now or I'd spend more time responding to your posts. in a nutshell, the way I understand Roe is that the Court used the 14th amendment privacy language to include a womans right to autonomy over her own body and that it outweighed a State's compelling interest in the life of the unborn. I dont think we actually are disagreeing on the ruling, only on what we were previously discussing, which if you'll go back a few pages started with the origins of the Court's "privacy" finding. you are engaging in too many arguments if you think I am saying any more than that.
All I said was the court didnt make up its ruling out of whole cloth, it clarified (using case precedent I might add) the scope of "privacy".
