The ethical issue is straightforward for those who believe that abortion is absolutely wrong and should never be solely a matter of individual personal choice. Similarly, there is little ambiguity for those who believe that a woman has absolute autonomy to decide on the future of her pregnancy. The difficulty exists only for those who try to straddle the gap between these fundamental positions and argue that abortion should be a woman’s choice, but it should be less of a choice in later pregnancy.

Sometimes I wonder if the average Junior High student knows more about the Constitution than members of Congress or even the White House. That’s why I became really excited at the thought that a Supreme Court Justice would be sitting down members of the new 112th Congress to "school" them on the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, etc.
