the hymnal as you.

But (everybody's got one) the SCOTUS left a some troublesome issues in Roe V Wade. Paraphrasing, the ruling says that the States have no interest during the first tri-mester, limited interest in the second and may regulate the third tri-mester. What a mess! Number one it relegates abortion to the States as a states rights issue when the ruling is based on a constitutional right to privacy. If it's in the Constitution, it's not a states rights issue. Two, the term tri-mester didn't really exist prior to R v W, it's a completely arbitrary time line.

Like I said, I agree completely with you but looking at it pragmatically it's a legal/constitutional mess.
