re: #6 calochortus

It occurs to me that as a good Catholic and an originalist, Scalia must think abortion is acceptable at the very least before “quickening”. And if he thinks the practices and laws of America at the time of the Constitution’s writing supercede Church law, then abortion should be legal.

I won’t wait up to hear his response.

your confusion of what one thinks IS constitutionally protected and what OUGHT to be constitutionally protected is resulting in an emotional response which doesn’t do you credit.

whether or not i think that the constitution protects my right to, say, engage in sexual conduct with the tree in my backyard is immaterial to the question of whether i think such activity should be protected by law.

think about it for a second.
