The Cost of Roe...

Here's a very interesting column by David Brooks in the NYTimes. The premise of the piece is that Roe v. Wade is the primary cause of the political strife and civic destruction we are experience in our country. It's well worth the read [Note: NYTimes FREE login required].


While Brooks doesn't do so, I think you can make comparisons to the impact that Supreme Court decisions like Dred Scott had prior to Civil War. Now, I certainly don't mean to imply (nor do I think) that the Abortion issue will lead to some kind of civil war, but I think the comparison is valid in the effects on our government's ability to deliberate and discuss issues in the course of finding solutions.

Anyway, read the Brooks piece.
