Roe Plus Forty: Where Now? | Capital Commentary

Roe Plus Forty: Where Now? | Capital Commentary by David Koyzis.  MGB: First, a correction - states had begun to legalize abortion, including California, prior to Roe.  Legalization was where momentum was heading until the issue was constitutionalized.  Second, in 40 years there has been no bill to implement the 14 amendment powers of Congress to enforce the amendment, which would include moving the start of life to an earlier point than birth or viability.  Extending it to the first trimester (where children are embyros, not fetuses, has legal problems in dealing with the criminal and tort problems inherent in granting legal status).  Without such status, privacy dictates that there is no third person.
