**Using this logic, Craddock notes, the Supreme Court justices were flawed in their 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, which granted the right to abortion. When he wrote the majority opinion, Justice Harry Blackmun failed to properly assess the word person as it was applied in 1868, Craddock argues. **
Wow! We’ll have to watch and see what happens.
It was explained to me on FR many years ago that the “right to privacy” invoked in the abortion argument originally has nothing to do with the aborting mother but rather the doctor who performed the abortion, because abortion was considered so reprehensible that knowledge of his activities would make him a pariah in his community.
No one references that nowadays.
