January 22, 2010 – 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade
Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade (1973), the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in which the court ruled that the Constitution’s right of privacy requires a right to abortion. Although prolifers decry this decision, few have rarely examined the logic of the opinion. For this reason, my 2006 article may be of interest: “The Supreme Court, Roe v. Wade, and Abortion Law,” Liberty University Law Review 1.1 (2006): 37-72. It is a revised and updated version of the previously published article, “Roe v. Wade: Its Logic and Its Legacy.” The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology 7.2 (Summer 2003): 4-28. The Liberty article was again revised and updated when it was published as chapter 2 of my book, Defending Life: A Moral and Legal Case Against Abortion Choice (Cambridge University Press, 2007)

My wife, my seven children and I all vote GOP. At some point we and others like us will out vote the inconveianced.
[...] Erick Erickson has an outstanding editorial today over at Red State that is a definite must read on this. Read Erick’s article – here. (Hattip to Paul Zummo over at Southern Appeal) Likewise, G. Tracy Mehan, III. has a great analysis/discussion over at American Spectator, which you can find – here. Also, be sure to check out Francis Beckwith’s analysis - here. [...]
Excellent retort, Pat. God Bless.
Dr Beckwith, would you please post the Rosaries for Life site sometime again in the future (Rosary pledges now exceed 100,000 and may have had a hand in the recent even in MA).
Thank you.
