Even liberals like Alan Dershowitz have now conceded that the Court did overreach in the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision. Even Dershowitz admits that the Court should have left it up to the individual States to determine how they would resolve the issue of abortion.

"When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another."(Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan 1651)
