The best interpretation for the anti-abortion crusaders (personally, I'm best described as neutral--shocking, I know) is that Roberts (and perhaps others who would like to overturn Roe v.

It's sad to think a Surpreme Court chief justice would play politics like that. You'd hope the awe of the office would last at least one month, before complete cynicism set in.
