Evading the Central Question

Reader comment on: Federalism, Roe v. Wade, and Anthony Beilenson

Arguing whether the states or the Supreme Court are the most proper forum for legislating on behalf of abortion "rights" evades the more central question, namely is abortion ever the correct moral choice except where the mother's "right to life" is at risk. It is not. Nor is this belief the province of fundamentalistic Christians only. It was a core principal of the Hippocratic Oath until the AMA, bowing to political correctness, expunged it. Aristotle reminds us that, when we are uncertain of the morality of a decision facing us, we should always follow "the morally safer course". Certainly allowing the unborn to live is that that choice.
