[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pro choice Catholics are making a political point: the U.S. government has no business telling citizens what to do with respect to their own health care, reproductive decisions, and bodies. Same argument if the government decided that religious circumcision was child abuse and started arresting mohels.

BTW, the "states right" argument is legally weak and utterly ridiculous.[/quote]

How is the states rights argument weak and utterly ridiculous?  It was how it worked in the country for hundreds of years until Roe.

The fact is that a zealous faction wanted to shortcut the legal process for enshrining an unenumerated right into the Constitution by using the Supreme Court for politics instead of doing the work required to do a Constitutional amendment.  So fifty years later, we are still arguing about this.[/quote]
Just like discriminating against blacks was legal until a constitutional amendment… oh, wait, the Supreme Court did that first too…. Those zealots demanding equal rights and not using the right process![/quote]
