Recent updates in 2020, new appendix on SCOTUS using ancient Rome for precedent added to supplement the chapter on that subject. Also a new chapter on the 1988 San Antonio rescue. A series of essays which look at and examine the arguments and philosophy behind the 1973 Roe vs Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court which endorsed and sanctioned the practice of pre natal infanticide in the USA. The author re-examines a 1973 supreme court ruling which is almost identical in argument to the 1857 Dred Scot ruling which legalized slavery. A ruling which appears to have become a side issue for this generation and most Americans. Is it? Can the right to innocent human life be given or taken by government order or sanction simply by appealing to the right of privacy? These questions and more are addressed by an ordinary layman, a woodcutter from Washington State.
