Thank you.
In my view, it’s more often the case that an issue has both a legal aspect and a non-legal policy aspect. And in those cases, I tend to focus on the legal - obviously.
Not wrong, but perhaps myopic.
But the other side of the coin is that recourse to the law gives finality of an answer. We may bicker about what the policy SHOULD be; we can much more often point definitively to what the law IS. So I gravitate in that direction because it’s a debate ender. You’ll never convince me that abortion is not a grave moral wrong. I’ll never convince you it’s not a matter of a woman’s right to choose.
But we both must acknowledge that it’s a right of constitutional dimension.
