    Well, it is difficult to keep up with all the variant points of view. For example, for my part, I am not opposed to abortion, just to the Roe v. Wade decision. I just think any "right" to an abortion should be actually defined in the legal code somewhere rather than conjured out of the constitution by a judicial hat trick.

    How do we know what specific rights need to be codified? When the right people tell us? Or is that some sort of hat trick? I mean we can't codify every single right can we?

      BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM! Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on 27 December 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Bhutto, twice Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996) and then-leader of the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party, had been campaigning ahead of elections due in January 2008.[1][4] She was shot at after a political rally at Liaquat National Bagh; a suicide bomb was detonated immediately following the shooting. She was declared dead at 18:16 local time (13:16 UTC), at Rawalpindi General Hospital. At least 23 other people were killed by the bombing.[3] Shortly after her return from exile two months earlier, she survived a similar attempt on her life that killed at least 139 people. Clickety[^]. You're right kid, extra-cultural commentary can be fun!

      Pakistani-Islamic culture sounds like some kind of paradise. For the sick, twisted and/or mentally unstable.[^]

        Wow, what a great example of how easy it is to twist words around an issue. Extolling the concept of "freedom" in America that some of us still revere, in this case freedom to choose, is NOT EQUAL to praising an individuals choice. Maybe someday people will understand that, maybe, I won't be holding my breath.

              Do you have sympathy in your heart for the poor girl, and the baby? Do you cry for the situation she found herself in that drove her to such an extreme act?

              Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

                          Thats because that isn't true on so many counts that its impossible to refute. There is nothing in the constitution concerning any right to terminate pregnancies, nor giving the federal judiciary any power to discover such a right or any other right regardless of English common law. We are governed by the constitution, not by English Common Law.

                                      How do we know what specific rights need to be codified? When the right people tell us? Or is that some sort of hat trick? I mean we can't codify every single right can we?

                                      The ones which are not specifically defined in the actual text of the constitution. You know, the ones which the actual text of the constituion specifically leaves up to the states and to the people.

                                        Taking a life is murder, but that's not the issue. The issue is when life begins.

                                        And that's why we'll never resolve the issue. Different people have different ideas as to where that line should be drawn. The basic argument is as old as we are: who is human, who is not, whose death is a matter of consequence, and what are the consequences of killing them?

                                          No, the issue is which institution in our society has the proper authority to legally define when life begins. The federal judiciary has no such constitutional authority. Only the congress does, or the states, or the people. The judiciary has no authority to make law.
