Greenhouse celebrates the late Justice Stevens “who helped protect a woman’s right to choose”

By Dave Andrusko Over the decades since Justice Harry Blackmun unleashed the Roe v. Wade pestilence, periodically you will read stories, occasionally the bulk of entire books, which maintain that Blackmun was essentially a dolt whom other justices had to help reach his abortion-on-demand conclusion.

The latest CBS News poll on Roe reversal as flawed as ever

By Dave Andrusko Let’s say for the sake of argument, when pollsters ask about Roe v. Wade they are serious about finding out what the public is thinking about reversal (which is the question they most often ask). Not that they are, but let’s pretend they are.

Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade: Judicial abominations that “denied the value of certain human lives”

The ripple effects of “rolling back” Roe v. Wade
