In fact, I think the Roe v. Wade slippery slope has been decidedly unslippery. States keep imposing barriers on the purported right to an abortion, and the SC is more and more upholding them, chipping away at what is supposed to be a constitutional right.
Not that, personally, I believe it is. Roe was, from a legal standpoint, an absurd decision. Whether or not you believe women should have the right to an abortion, Roe was blatant legislating from the bench. But given that the decision exists, and that as a matter of law there is a constitutional right to an abortion (as it would be a constitutioanl right to hold slaves today if the SC said it was), the slippery slope is moving to restrict, not expand, that right. |
