The 14th amendment applied Roe to the 50 states. A lot of legislation

We are talking about something that was established on a national
level 40 years ago. Obviously technology has come a long way since
then. Would like a glass of juice before your labotomy?

In almost all cases abortion is elective. It's important for the
Left's culture of death to keep the patients in the dark about what is
going to happen to them and their baby.

Talk about a coward losing an argument and grasping for straws. Why

The morning after pill isn't available? What you are saying is that
you want the system to accomodate women that don't have the courage to
come forward allowing their rapist to rape again?
I'm pretty sure rapists agree with you.
You failed as a lawyer because? I understand that it's not all Perry
Mason but even a 6th grader understands how DNA is used in a criminal
investigation. The victims testimony is useful as well.
