Why Are We Still Battling Over Abortion?

Roe v. Wade was decided in January 1973.  It was the same month that LBJ died, when the U. S. ended its involvement in the Vietnam War, when the Watergate burglars went on trial, and when Harry Truman was memorialized at the National Cathedral following his death the day after Christmas 1972.  The month marked...
