You've lost the thread of the discussion. I said the reason the Democrat party is so protective of Roe v Wade is because its a cornerstone of their powerbase and how they give their supporters and fundraisers the impression they are giving them their rights. Not from the constitution, but from them, because nothing about abortion is in the constitution. If you read Roe v wade decision, you'll note they had to introduce the idea of a right to privacy, which also does not exist. From a purely jurisprudence perspective, its all built on smoke and mirrors. These issues were supposed to be settled in state legislatures, which is what the decision today asserts. Now, state legislatures are in a position to circumscribe abortion around cases where it is acceptable. It may be extreme to call it a life at conception, but it's also extreme to call it not a life right before birth. There's middle ground here.
