The issue of abortion should be left to the purview of the states -it is not for the courts to decide, and never should have been.
However, I personally feel that a government should permit abortions throughout a pregnancy. Moral decisions should not be made by the state, but by individuals, when the rights of another person (which a fetus is not) are not involved.
No, I think that the issue of abortion should never be left to the States - it should be for the courts to decide.
And Emsworth, there is a perfectly good 'constitutional justification' for the courts to intervene - the right to privacy. (though I couldn't care less, as the constitution is not a particularly useful document)
