Sounds like someone’s name. In a way, it is. Two people. Thirty-six years ago today, the US Supremes handed down their decision in this Texas case–establishing a right to abortion under the Fourteenth Amendment. Almost immediately it became the political cause celebre that has preoccupied the country ever since.
Reinforcing the right by forcing the rest of us to pay to promote them abroad was one of the first things Barry did was expected to do. It’s long been said that black women get the most abortions. I’ve always supported it, with restrictions such as banning them in the third trimester unless the life of the mother was clearly threatened. But for some who still fight "the culture of death" that’s never been enough.
