I do not think there should be a CONSTITUTIONAL  right to abortion that precludes legislatures from banning or restricting the practice.I think Roe was one of the worst reasoned Supreme Court opinions in our nation's history-- bad logic, bad law, bad science. As far as a policy result, I think it can be considered a reasonable compromise but I do not believe eatablishing compromise policy decrees based on the personal opinions of the Justices  is the proper province of the Supreme Court.

 I think controversial  moral questions such as this create a seminal "political question" which should be addressed politically through representative government.

Control of the decision-making process for women.

Control of women's sexuality.

  Well, first,  since only a small percentage of OB-Gyns perform abortions, that would be an overly broad misnomer.

  I oppose the argument that the Constitution of the United States establishes the right of a woman to obtain an abortion regardless of the larger society's interests in regulating the practice.

   I do not oppose the establishment of a statutory right to an abortion by a legislature. I also do not oppose the restriction of that right by a legislature insofar as it would prohibit, in that jurisdiction, the vast majority of abortions.

   I would oppose, politically, a blanket prohibition of abortion which encompassed cases where the mother's life would be in jeopardy or the potential for serious physical harm if the pregnancy is not terminated by abortion. Cases of rape and incest are very difficult dilemmas, but I lean toward allowing abortion in such cases.

  Of course, the problem is that even if abortions were allowed to proterct the life of the mother or in cases of rape and incest, the practical effect might be to eliminate the ready availability of abortions in such cases because where 95+ of all abortions were eliminated it might be difficult to maintain a supply of trained personnel to perform them in any case.

  That is akin to someone dismissing all ant-war advocates as being anti-American and wishing for a dimunition of our nation's power.

  Refusing to acknowledge that people of good faith and moral conviction can  hold contrary positions is the last refuge of the tyrant.

Yes, I know this will have an impact on our economy for those of you who support a Barber/Beautician's rights of the American Dream however, in my teachings Barbers and Beauticians are disciples of evil intent on stealing souls from my Gawd. Doctors do the same thing when they extract tumors and diseased tissues, organs, and etc...

I find it quite humorous how many of those who wish to intrude in an other's life only do so from a distance and do so without care for that other's existence. Once many of them have inflicted their moral judgements on to others they cease to care about those whom they somehow, saved?

The jargon, "Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" and "my tax money shouldn't spent on those people" etc..., are most associated with those who are most intent on interjecting and enforcing their beliefs onto others. This is crazy to me. We have in our profit only driven society slammed the doors shut on the mentally handicapped housing facilities, refused insurance on millions of individuals and families, cut (and I mean slashed the federal budgets) funding for our most in need. Why? To insure that we direct the moneys to our favorites, who wants to see the ugly in this world? It's all beautiful from where I'm sitting, why do people complain? Oh, they must only be haters of the American Way of Life?

In reality I don't care that someone else next door, down the street, in the next town or even in another country does to survive in his harsh world. I have seen the ugly truths! I have witnessed societies way to disguise what they deem as garbage. The Federal and State Governments are doing a very fine job slashing from their budgets everything they can that they do not wish to see but yet it's only going to wake them up someday and they will look around to see the naked truth of this world's harshness. And why? Because we as a society had to preach and enforce to others why our lives are better than everyone else's.
