I understand that you are studying to be a lawyer but remember that law is just one aspect of human existence. Laws were made to be broken. Roe vs. Wade violated the original proscription on abortion in the US of A . Now it is illegal to restrict abortion in this country. The American colonists told King George to go to hell and take his stupid laws with him. Laws can be made for any reason and laws are mostly arbitrary. Happy Fourth of July Tim Frohlick (my real name) and what are you gonna do about it?
