Pete, Roe v wade will be a non issue anyway in short order -- because of progress in contraception and sexual education. Unwanted pregnancies (as a % of the populate) has been drastically reduced in the USA. The rate of teen pregnancies has slowed and is now starting to turn down in many states. Abortion had been climbing -- and has flattened/now dropping. Don't panic -- abortion will be as rare as polio in a matter of a couple/three decades. Q: What country has the highest level of teen/unwed pregnancies in the literate/industrialized world? A: Ireland -- because contraception & abortion are illegal, although they've just legalized contraception a few years back. In addition it is about 90% Catholic -- which explains laws in the first place. -JH
