...great teacher, Kelleher, said that whenever a girl child is born, and she looks up and sees her father peering dreamily into the crib, one word forms in her mind: sucker. I have never minded that either...
...were first presented to the world, I wanted life to be perfect, and your arrival did nothing to discourage the wish. To the contrary: one look at your beginning, curled up like a comma in the hospital crib, and I was certain that paradise, never lost, did not have to be regained.

We know there's a life's worth of difference between a 20-week-old fetus and a 24-week-old one. A 1991 study shows that 34% of babies delivered at that point live. This puts Roe's trimester construction on a collision course with...
