Toobin on Roe v. Wade

SCOTUSblog links to Jeffrey Toobin's somewhat unbiased article in the new New Yorker on the resilience of Roe v. Wade. The landmark case gets so much coverage these days that it's difficult to remember its fascinating history. Read the article if the only thing you know about Roe v. Wade is that it prevented states from banning all abortion.

I like the strangely out of place New Yorker comic on page 2. Just some whimsy during the whole abortion debate.

Ha, and the borderline racist Indian on page 4.

Bah, abortion is an annoying issue for me. Am I the only one that likes the public policy outcomes of Roe but thinks the decision was wrong on Constitutional grounds?

It's a difficult position to have, maybe I should consider changing it.

No, Ruth Bader Ginsburg explicitly agreed with you during her nomination hearings.

Did she? I'll have to go look that up.
