Re: Sklansky on Abortion
[ QUOTE ]
Really, at least in America, the morality of abortion is pretty much moot. The Supreme Court cannot make abortion illegal.

Umm, thats a pretty strong statement there, I'd like to see you back it up a little bit... It's my understanding that the Supreme Courts allowing of abortion falls on the most shakey of "constitutional" rights, the right to privacy..which is no where mentioned by name in the constitution, and a person could make a strong case that it was "invented" by the court.. I'm not saying I would make such a case, but it could be made.
Still, there are exceptions to other rights in the constitution, yelling fire in a crowded theater is the classic example.
I know that the Supreme Court has ruled Abortion as federally legal in the past, but that does not neccecarily say anything about the future. The Supreme Court once said it was okay to own people as slaves (Dred Scott case) but that's certainly not the way things are now
