re: #890 Lynn B.

I suggest you read the opinion.

The assumption of many is that the Court ignored such issues. In fact, it did not. What it did do, what Justice Blackmun’s barely consensus opinion did, was to address those concerns without presuming to render judgment on them as, again, that is beyond their capacity and responsibility. Especially if you understand that the notion of when human life begins is largely a religious concept about which the major religious groups in the U.S. do not necessarily agree. (See, e.g., NY Nana’s #358, above.)

Well…you are correct - it appears that the religious people can’t agree, but neither do the legal folks.

Iron Fist #892 makes a good point.

I tried to read the opinion…it is waaaaay above my pay grade. I’m a simple gal who has seen too many fetuses survive outside the womb and displaying the wonders of God from conception, to land on the side of a court that cannot understand the notion of when human life begins.
